    Thanks for letting us know about Pavlov’s ugly side. As a former scientist and now a professional dog trainer, I guess I am not surprised. The only thing I would have to correct on this episode is that it was actually Skinner, and not Pavlov who gave us positive reinforcement training. In fact for years the Pavlovian theory and Skinner’s operant conditioning were considered rival theories. Modern dog training theory now recognizes that both Pavlovian concepts (paired stimulus causes a subconscious physiological effect) and Skinner’s theory (antecedent, behavior, consequence - which involves conscious choices) are in play when any animal learns. Sadly, Skinner studied all 4 quadrants of operant conditioning (including the punishment and negative reinforcement quadrants), so there were a lot of rats that got electric shocks. :-(. If you you want to delve deeper, Bob Bailey, the husband of the late Marian Breland-Bailey ( who was a graduate student of B.F. Skinner) is still around and has a lot of historical material on the history of animal training in the U.S. it’s quite interesting and might even be a good Answers With Joe Episode. Bob and Marian trained everything from Cockroaches to Killer Whales....but they used positive reinforcement.

      Bob Bailey is my hero when it comes to animal training, I attended all levels of his chicken camp workshops and realized "dog trainers" who don't understand the science behind what they are doing can't be good dog trainers. Meeting Bob and being his student for 4 weeks is one of the highlights of my life. I realized how much I didn't know and how most trainers don't have a clue!! Can anyone get behaviors? Yes, but at what cost.

      unfortunately there were millions of others murdered, also - mentally ill, gay people, gypsies, the infirm, and anyone they deemed unfit ! we also don’t learn about that! i found out about the horrible way the Union soldiers were treated in Andersonville “prison”. by picking up the book - very well written
      we didn’t learn anything about that the actual people involved - like why Queen Elizabeth did the things she did, or that Pietre the Great was enthused about making Russia more in tune with the rest of Europe. he was amazing. i am now learning about how the real people and how they lived - work conditions, the food (so interesting), their homes, clothes, etc. even now on TV and the movies, all you ever hear anout are upper middle class and richer people. not at like the human movies of the 30’s and 40’s. real history is so much more interesting as we never get it in school. :}

      @morganrobinson8042 5 лет назад +13

      But context is important here. Without it the people performing morally dubious or reprehensible acts are easy to dismiss as unfeeling or monstrous uniformly. The practice of grave robbery and its relation to he medical profession was an unfortunate byproduct of of the church in Europe allowing no circumstance in which the body could be studied, which prevented the reacquisition of the medical knowledge lost in the sack of Rome. Without grave robbing surgery would have been impossible to practice on anything but the living (or animals if anyone thought of it).
      Medicine is the science of the distastefully visceral. At best you're working with the bodies of volunteers after their dead. At worst, you have some of the truly twisted, unethical to the point of outright evil, experiments of the 20th century. So Far. But it's always a trade-off of harm or the risk of harm now for helping later, and it's never very morally clean. All that anybody can do is hope that restraint and conscience wins out over ambition and inquisitiveness where more harm than good would be done, and punish when it isn't.

We're not going to prevent those dogs from being killed & tortured by denying what we learned, but we can de-sanitize the reputations of people like Pavlov. Arguably we have; think about how they felt it had to be done in the first place. Then, next time someone says "it's okay to work with [secretly: torture] animals for humans cuz old Pavvie did it" we can really set the record straight.
    Knowing what we are capable of, to prevent it from happening again, is not a lesson I want forgotten.

Also, most of the time, questionable ethical behavior is acceptable so long as the subjects of study are not human, or 'less human.'

To the Egyptians the cat was a sacred animal and was protected. In some beliefs, it is stressed that you don't harm certain animal. The same sort of thing happens, in a non religious way, here in the west; dogs, cats, and horses are seen as companions, while in other cultures they're livestock like other animals. It's all about cultural norms.

Saying that we care about animals whilst other cultures dont do so (as much) in general is pretty ignorant of the things all these animals have to live through

    I was a research assistant back in the day. You would not believe the hoops investigators have to jump through in order to perform experiments on animals, at least in the US. Every effort must be made to ensure that experimental animals' pain and suffering was minimized, including sedatives, anesthetics and pain killers when necessary. Careful records had to be kept to explain why animals were necessary, as opposed to other methods, like cell and tissue culture, whether the procedures might cause pain and why, and what steps were taken to mitigate it. Inspectors from the FDA and DoAg would perform audits and any discrepancies would lead to fines. We had a staff veterinarian to make sure the animals were as healthy as possible, since sick animals could skew the results. And to perform euthanasia when necessary. Pavlov would not have been able to do his experiments, much less profit from them, today with all the restrictions.
    All of that being said, I'm an animal lover and I love animals of all kinds from the water bear to the blue whale, and I'd prefer that animal experimentation was unnecessary. But in some cases it is a necessary evil. Fortunately with improved techniques and computer modeling, the use of animals is declining. Furthermore, it's important to realize that while animal experimentation is primarily for the improvement of human medicine, veterinary medicine also benefits from it quite greatly.

    Oh yeah I remember when I was taught this at phisiology class, the details were...
    And I'm a vet student so you can imagine all our faces lol.
    Also when we learned up to certain point in time, people thought animals didn't feel pain, which meant... no anesthesia.

      Thing is they'd also apply immovilizations to the animal to do surgery, without the cancelling of consciousness (IDK how to translate all of this to english properly)
      So you'd have the animal unable to move, but still fully awake, aware, and feeling.
      Nowadays some really ignorant veterinarians still do that! (Ones that don't know how to make a proper protocol for anesthesia)

    Vladimir Demikhov performed more Soviet dog experiments in the '50s including head transplants. In one case the live head of a puppy/juvenile dog was surgically attached to the neck of a German Shepard (resulting in 2 heads). Some survived the surgery, only to die up to 29 days later due to tissue rejection.
    He was a pioneering organ transplant surgeon, but some of his experiments seem incredibly cruel.
