As the Department of Physiology head at the Institute of Experimental Medicine, his groundbreaking work on the digestive systems of dogs earned him the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904. Pavlov remained an active researcher until his death on February 27, 1936.

The instructor presents learners with structured material (stimulus) and promps for the right response.

The role of the student:
A blank slate, a passive participant to stimulus-response.

Behaviourism has had a particularly significant influence on teaching, training and instruction.  Learning objectives are typically described in Behaviourist terms and identify specific behaviour that is desirable (and hence rewarded).  For practical skills, a Behaviourist approach often follows a tell-show-practise-reinforce sequence.  This process describes what is going to be learnt, demonstrates how it is done, gives the learner an opportunity to practise and uses reinforcement to refine behaviour.  Rewards typically take the form of feedback.

Stimulus-Response analysis

"Conditioning" wherein repetition of a specific behavior leads to the response

Learning is viewed as a series of expected responses following conditioning

Instruction revolves around a cyclical pattern of teacher-modeling, student-repitition, and teacher-reinforcement
