Cumulative Record. Chapter 50: Some Responses to the Stimulus “Pavlov”. Quote 2

I bought Pavlov’s book and took it with me to Greenwich Village, where I spent several Bohemian months before going on to Harvard. I read Pavlov by day and sowed wild oats by night. I am sure Pavlov himself would have approved of this pairing of stimuli. Even today a page of his book elicits many warm, if somewhat faded, autonomic responses. (p. 649)
