Intrepidly digging further into this question, I believe I may have the answer. The claim may derive from "Uncle Ric", who reveals that it was the famous Black scientist George Washington Carver who scooped Pavlov. Careful examination of the video in which this claim is made suggests that Uncle Ric was just kidding around. And scholarship requires that I note that contrary to what is stated, Pavlov neither used a bell in his famous experiment nor won the Nobel Prize for it.
