I saw some film footage about Pavlov's experiments on children while I was watching a propaganda piece published by the Church of Scientology (The Age of Fear). I wanted to see what types of claims the scientologists were making and so I looked further into the claims about Pavlov. I was disappointed to find out that the scientologists were right about Pavlov. He did create salivary fistulae in children to study their salivary responses. No surprise that he replicated the results he found with dogs. The BBC series The Brain: A Secret History has some of this footage. I found the first episode of the 2011 series on vimeo. The Pavlov footage is about 5 or 6 minutes in http://vimeo.com/18608588. I found it disturbing to watch and I wondered if others were familiar with this research.
