I can honestly say I have never heard of any of these people, which makes this post even better because I learned something new about them.
Actually I do remember Pavlov, he did something on learning in dogs by ringing a bell and then feeding them. After multiple times every time he rang the bell the dogs would salivate expecting food - they had learned to associate the bell with food.
