I. P. Pavlov - Conditioned Reflexes

THE following bibliography comprises all the published researches upon the physiology of conditioned reflexes performed in my own laboratories in Petrograd. The first paper giving a more or less systematic description of natural conditioned reflexesthen called psychic reflexes was published by Dr. Wolfson in the form of a thesis entitled Observations upon Salivary Secretion (Petrograd, 1899). The term conditioned reflex was first used in print by Dr. Tolochinov, who completed his experiments in 1901 and communicated the results at the Congress of Natural Sciences in Helsingfors in 1903.

The bibliography is divided into twenty-three sections. This division has been made for the convenience of those who wish to obtain a preliminary acquaintance with one or another aspect of the subject. The titles of papers quoted in more than one section are given in full in that section to which their main part belongs. Since the papers referred to in one section treat also of other aspects, a detailed knowledge can be achieved only by reading the main bulk of the literature. In each section the literature is set down in chronological order. Many of the experiments quoted in these lectures were taken from researches which have only recently been completed and are not yet published, or which are still in progress. These could not, therefore, be included in the bibliography.
