ABSTRACT
For the sake of the conversation to follow, please let me present academician Pavlov in a role that he would certainly reject, even for the light-hearted purposes of this occasion. Imagine that his ghost is an observer here at this convention, his presence motivated out of curiosity: has psychology managed to become a science since the 1920s, when he became interested in the problems of psychology, but was repelled by the kind of thinking that he found in the field? To help you get the spirit of his opinion, let us listen to the ghost of Pavlov speaking for himself. 1
