| 5(49) | BEKHTEREV AND WATSON RANG PAVLOV'S BELL:
A REPLY TO CATANIA'S QUERY Target Article by Littman on Pavlov-Bell Richard A. Littman Department of Psychology University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon 97403 rlittman@oregon.uoregon.edu |
Abstract:
Bekhterev's and Watson's research used a bell as a
conditioned stimulus. the bell became identified with conditioning
in the United States because of the notoriety Watson achieved as a
result of championing conditioning as the major source of habit
formation and learning.

| 5(63) | PAVLOV USED A BELL
Commentary on Littman on Pavlov-Bell Roger K. Thomas Department of Psychology University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602-3013 rkthomas@uga.cc.uga.edu |
Abstract:
Littman (1994) followed up Catania's (1994) about query
whether Pavlov had ever used a bell as a conditioned stimulus (CS).
Catania and Littman were unable to find evidence that Pavlov used a
bell. Littman argued that the bell as the prototypical CS was
likely attributable to V.M. Bekhterev and John B. Watson. Pavlov
used a bell in an experiment reported in 1923 and retracted in
1927. It is unclear whether Littman's argument is affected.

| 5(76) | PAVLOV'S BELL-LESS STATUS MAY STILL BE INTACT
Commentary on Littman on Pavlov-Bell Hank Davis Department of Psychology University of Guelph Ontario, Canada hdavis@uoguelph.ca |
Abstract:
The Pavlov experiment Thomas (1994) cites is operant
rather than Pavlovian, hence Pavolv still never used a bell as a
conditioned stimulus (CS)

Commentary on Littman on Pavlov-Bell Roger K. Thomas Department of Psychology University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602-3013 rkthomas@uga.cc.uga.edu |
Abstract:
Littman (1994) pursued Catania's (1994) query about
whether Pavlov had ever used a bell as a conditioned stimulus (CS).
Catania and Littman were unable to find evidence that Pavlov used a
bell. Littman argued that the bell as the prototypical CS was
probably attributable to V.M. Bekhterev and John B. Watson. Thomas
(1994) commented that Pavlov used a bell in an experiment
with mice reported in 1923 and retracted in 1927, but that it was
unclear whether Littman's argument was affected. Davis (1994)
supported Littman by arguing that since the bell was electric and
the mouse experiment was operant, Littman's argument was preserved.
I have since learned of three additional references to Pavlov's use
of a bell that strongly challenge Littman's argument as supported
by Davis.
