Russian who used dogs to study conditioned reflexes (6)

I believe the answer is:

pavlov

(Other definitions for pavlov that I've seen before include "Ivan --, Russian studier of conditioned reflexes" , "dog trainer" , "Russian psychologist" , "Russian investigator of conditioned reflexes" , "As reflex investigator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
