7/6/2023 0 Comments Pavlov cat![]() The cute cats should now reach around and give themselves a pat on the back for making thousands of humans smile while also proving that felines really can learn new tricks. “I couldn’t help watching this over and over again.” “I’m going to teach this to my cat at home.” “It’s a busy ‘restaurant’ you’ve got going there!” “I can’t believe how well they’ve learnt!” “The way they gently touch the bell is absolutely adorable!” The video of the clever cats blew up online, receiving over 170,000 likes and more than 130,000 retweets in just a matter of days, along with a huge collection of comments from amazed Twitter users. ![]() The kitties are so eager to use the “service bell” for food that the owner has given the clip the title “The Restaurant with Many Orders”. He inserted a small test tube into the cheek of each dog to measure saliva when the dogs were fed (with a powder made from meat). During the 1890s, Pavlov researched salivation in dogs in response to being fed. Radioactive decay is one of the probability-driven aspects of quantum physics. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (18491936) was a physiologist, not a psychologist. A cat is placed in a box with a vial of poison, which will be automatically smashed if a radioactive particle decays. Now, just over a week later, the little one has been trained up to the same level as the senior cat, eagerly tapping his paw on the bell over and over again to receive some tasty treats. The Schrdinger's cat thought experiment demonstrates the strange nature of quantum superposition. ![]() One of the cats in the video was first to learn the neat trick, even dressing up in a witch’s hat to show off his bell-ringing skills last Halloween. Earlier this month, the clever kitty was charged with the task of teaching his little brother how to ring a bell for food, and judging from the video below, it looked like the little cat might never be able to understand what was going on. While many believe “Pavlov’s Cat”, if it ever existed, would’ve turned its nose up at such an experiment, preferring to either sleep or starve rather than follow instructions from its human, a new video from Japan is showing that felines can do what Pavlov’s Dog did and more, by turning the tables and ringing bells with their paws to summon treats from their compliant owner. ![]() Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849 – 1936) once taught a dog to salivate upon hearing a bell, in what became known around the world as the “Pavlov’s Dog experiment”, which proved his case for a learning process called “classical conditioning”. Before-and-after videos show how one cat learnt the clever trick from his older brother in just a couple of weeks. ![]()
