Dreadnought Holiday

I don't think enough biology teachers explain that, for the rest of his life, whenever he heard a bell ring Ivan Pavlov felt the urge to give a dog a biscuit

@DreadShips
Have you seen Eddie Izzard’s take on the whole Pavlov experiment, especially when he tried it on cats?

@DreadShips I applaud you for not saying "whenever he heard a bell ring he tried to give a dog a biscuit" which is, of course, Skinnerian conditioning.

@DreadShips Pavlov is sitting in a bar having a quiet drink when the phone rings.
He leaps up in a panic and exclaims "Shit! I forgot to feed the dog."
