Abstract
E. A. Asratyan has long been the Director of the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology in Moscow. In this article he addresses himself to the difficult problem of accounting for complex forms of animal behavior from the base line of Pavlovian theory. This is the same task Boyko undertakes in his article in this issue, but Asratyan approaches it in a different manner. Going back to the stenographic notes of Pavlov's famous Wednesdays (sessions at which he discussed a wide variety of laboratory matters and topics of the day), Asratyan considers the little known concept of the causal reflex. From the remarks of the Russian editors of Problems of Philosophy (note 4), it is clear that Asratyan's ideas are by no means universally accepted.
