Sinopsis:
Rewritten by Dewi Sulistya Wati. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian scientist who accidentally changed the world of psychology through the sound of a bell and a dog’s saliva. From experiments in his laboratory in St. Petersburg, Pavlov discovered that living creatures can “learn” from their environment—that reflexes are not just innate but can be formed through experience. His findings on conditioned reflexes paved a new way for understanding human and animal behavior. Pavlov was born into a religious family and was initially prepared to become a priest before he fell in love with science. Although he lived through revolution and war, he remained faithful to his scientific pursuits. His firmness and obsession with experiments earned him the nickname of a cold-blooded scientist, but he believed that the world could be understood through perseverance and curiosity. Pavlov’s story is not just about laboratory dogs or a Nobel Prize, but about how curiosity can change the world—even through the ring of a small bell.
