Over a year ago, Raymond D. Fowler, Editor of the American Psychologist, and I agreed to plan on occasional parallel issues of this kind to further promote international exchanges in psychological science and among psychology professionals.While looking for a first theme for parallel sections in the two journals, we readily settled on the centennial of an historical marker event in psychology: the publication, in 1897, of Ivan P. Pavlov's founding book on the work of the digestive glands, which summarizes years of experimental groundwork completed in Pavlov's laboratory on the physiology of the digestive tract, including first experimental findings recognizing the role of psychological factors in digestive, and particularly salivary, functions. As will be all too familiar to readers, in the years to follow Pavlov's research led him to concentrate on the study of conditioned reflexes and of higher nervous activity, later on extending the study of salivary reflex conditioning into higher-order conditioning, the role of language as a second signal system, study of temperament and even abnormal behavior. A rigorous experimentalist and an innovative, stringent theoretician, Pavlov was to become on of the first to develop a system of experiment-based descriptive laws of behavioral learning. These Thematic Sections in the American Psychologist and the European Psychologist are dedicated to the memory of this outstanding personality in the history of psychological science. To facilitate cross-referencing and cross-reading of the two sections, the table of contents of each is also being published in the other journal (see below).I wish to thank all colleagues and authors, as well as Donald A. Dewsbury, Editor of the American Psychologist Special Section on Pavlov, for their intellectual freshness in approaching this historical theme from different perspectives, and—last not least—for their diligence in meeting tight deadlines. May these Thematic Sections reinforce international exchange in psychology and make us more conscious, as we approach the close of the century, of the common historic roots of our discipline and how they are reflected in the widespread branches of today's psychology.1American Psychologist, Vol. 52, No. 9 (September 1997) Thematic Section: History of Psychology—Pavlov's Contribution, Section Editor: Donald A.

A note on conditional reflex studies of schizophrenia in France.

In France, beginning with 1946, the method of Ivanov-Smolenski was used to study schizophrenia, but after 1957, sensory conditioning procedures have been employed (EEG sound-light, evoked potentials in children, SAE conditioning in adults) and more recently eye blink and operant conditioning.

Pavlovian Psychiatry: A New Synthesis

This monograph, one of a series known as American Lectures in Objective Psychiatry, offers a bird'seye view of some of the recent work in conditional reflex studies. In a brief foreword, the author affirms his intention of presenting basic conditional reflex research and its implications for psychiatry. Unfortunately, the presentation is far too brief and cursory for the reader who is unsophisticated in this field. Much of this slim volume consists merely of short summaries of published articles, without adequate interpretation of the material. Frequently, multiple references (64 in one instance) follow a statement, serving to confuse rather than to clarify the problem. The section on psychopharmacological aspects of conditioning constitutes the most pertinent and practical material for the psychiatrist. The reviewer agrees fully with the conclusions drawn here. For example, the author's results with ataractic drugs in schizophrenia indicate that chronic, deteriorated patients derive relatively little benefit, whereas those

Automatic photo-electric device for the study of conditioned reflexes in small animals

We describe a unit having an automatic photo-electric device for investigating the conditioned motor responses in small animals. It was made for investigation of an animal running to the site of reinforcement. It collects sufficiently accurate analyses of the times of the main events associated with free movements of the animals in the normal or pathological conditions. The instrument may find application in physiological laboraties for the study of higher nervous activity.

Some implications of conditional reflex studies for placebo research.

Three separate groups of conditional reflex studies were presented to illustrate their implication for the general problem of reaction to placebo. The first demonstrates how the effect of a person can be conditioned and thereby makes it possible for the expectations of patients from a therapeutic situation to be realized. The second emphasizes the importance of "central excitatory states" for conditioning and suggests that the ability of doctors to produce these may make patients amenable to their doctors' expectations of them. The third describes the pertinence of the state of the organism and the principles of extinction to patient responses to placebo. It is suggested that placebo effects may be more explicable when considered in terms of learning concepts.

Pavlov Centenary Celebrations

A SERIES of lectures in celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ivan Pavlov is being organised by the Bavlov Centenary Committee of the Society for Cultural Relations between the Peoples of the British (Commonwealth and the U.S.S.R. On October 6 Dr. A. S. McPherson will read a paper entitled “Re-cenVAdvances in the Study of Conditioned Reflexes", on October 13 Dr. B. H. Kirman will speak on Che Application of Conditioned Reflexes to Psychiatry", both lectures to be delivered at 7.30 p.m. at 14 Kensington Square, London, W.8. Mr. J. G. Crowther will speak on ”Pavlov, Scientist and Man: his Place in the History of Civilization"at 7.30 p.m. on November 3 at the University of London Institute of Education, Malet Street, W.C.I.
