Pavlov? I can't remember who that is, but the name rings a bell.

Pavlov came up with conditioning. He is mostly remembered for positive reinforcement.

I think the person you replied to was joking, since he said rings a bell?

Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist. During his studies, he observed that dogs would begin to salivate whenever an assistant entered the room, even if no food was present. Pavlov realized that the dogs had learned to associate the presence of the assistant with the arrival of food. He then conducted experiments where he would ring a bell or sound a metronome immediately before presenting the dogs with food. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the sound with the food, and would begin to salivate in response to the sound alone, even without the presence of food. This research on dogs became an iconic example of classical conditioning and the comic references this.

and that's all it is, a reference not a joke.

A good example of a pavlov joke is the one where pavlov goes to a bar after work, and just as he's about to order the phone rings in the bar and he shouts "oh shit I forgot to feed the dogs!"

Pavlov was a primitive psychologist who investigated conditioning by conditioning his dogs to salivate whenever they heard the sound of a bell (since they had been trained to associate the bell with being given food)

QI said he and his team used several conditioning methods, but none of them were actually ringing a bell.

Is translation of good 1980s eastern European joke

In joke, doorbell is wired to system which causes medium brain damage in dogs. Is also comment on real life.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. πŸ“‹ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
