Ivan Pavlov is a physiologist who is known for his work in classical conditioning. Pavlov constructed the well known experiments, "Pavlov's dogs". John B. Watson is known for "Little Albert".
PAVLOV'S DOGS
Pavlov studied the salvation of dogs after being fed. He learned the dogs salivated when events occurred unrelated to feeding. Pavlov placed the dogs in a room with a harness and with a bowl in front of them. Pavlov would ring his bell then give the dogs food. After a few reps, the dogs salivated at the sound of the bell.
LITTLE ALBERT
Little Albert who was 9 months old, was exposed to a series of stimuli including, a white rat, a rabbit, a monkey, masks, and burning newspaper. Watson observed the babies reaction after seeing each stimuli. The baby showed no fear to any stimuli. Watson would show the white rat and would then make a loud noise by hitting a metal pipe with a hammer, along with showing the rat. After repeatedly pairing the white rat with the loud noise, the baby cried at the sight of the white rat.
