Pavlov vs.Watson

Ivan Pavlov was one of the greatest Psychologies in the world.The first one that find out about Classical Condition. He was very smart using the dog's experiment. I think this experiment make humans to understand better the animals systems. This experiment had help to humans to communicated with animals throw objects and make them to follow what is been told by the owner. Like in the videos is been told Pavlov had use a dog to learn the behavior better since if very hard to define. He uses a dog to prove if he salivate while no food is given. Pavlov uses a bell ring and the dog gets some food, he repeated this many times until the dog would salivate right when it heard the bell being ring again. He rings the bell again but this time the dog don't get any food however the dogs salivates this is because the dog already knows that every time the bell rings he will get some food. In the video also say "The smell, stuffs that surround also can be the cause of a reaction." This is how Pavlov teach his dog when he was going to get food and not to get any food.




"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors. I am going beyond my facts and I admit it, but so have the advocates of the contrary and they have been doing it for many thousands of years. [Behaviorism (1930), p. 82]



Watson was another psychologist that was very recognize in the world for his experiment with Little Albert.He believe that humans learn according to there environment. He uses little Albert to find out if If a baby would be afraid of animals if they heard a big sound? Watson use little Albert, he uses a rat a couple of times without a sound. Then he make a big sound while the rat was closed to little Albert and he starts crying. After this process he keep bringing different animals using dogs,rabbits and so on and little Albert starts crying because he think the will heard the sound again.Little Albert learned to have fear to animals.


Each psychologist teach us that behavior is not base on nature is base of what the environment could teach us and what we learned base throw experiences. Both had teach us good lessons thats could help to understand better our behavior.
