ABSTRACT

In April 1903, Pavlov presented his early work on the conditioned reflex to the International Congress of Medicine, Madrid (Pavlov, 1903/1928a). Two of the, no doubt numerous, events that celebrated the centenary of this event were the Spring meeting of the Experimental Psychology Society at Exeter (for which I was the local organizer) and the annual Associative Learning Symposium organized by Professors Rob Honey and John Pearce of Cardiff University.
