Functions of the Brain: Behaviour of Human and Animal

Alternative title: Functions of the Brain: Behaviour of Man and Animal, Mechanism of the Brain
Synopsis: This silent film features documentary footage of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov’s laboratory, originally shown in 1932. It shows Pavlov performing an experiment with children who are fed cookies via a mechanical device to demonstrate conditioned responses; an experiment with a dog that demonstrates alimentary unconditioned reflexes; unconditioned reflex responses and conditioned responses using food, sound or a shock plate. There is also footage comparing child development from a newborn to a six-year-old. Fascinating because ethically these experiments could never be replicated.
