      I loved learning about Ivan Pavlov’s salivating dogs in Psychology A-level!

      I really enjoyed reading about classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov) vs. operant conditioning (B. F. Skinner)

      I also didn’t realise until a couple of years ago that Ivan Pavlov did not win his Nobel prize for this conditioning work but actually for his work on the physiology of digestion!
