The principle of conditioning was formulated by the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov in 1909.

PAVLOV THEORY OF LEARNING TRIAL

Acomplete record of the cat’s behaviour during each trial was registered If after opening the door in any trial by jumping or by chance, she rushed immediately to the food, she was allowed only a small cask. Afterwards, she was given nothing more to eat until the next session. The cat was fed at the end of the each experimental period. A fish was placed outside the box The cat was given 100 trials, ten each morning and ten each afternoon for five days. In one among the experiments a hungry cat was placed within the box and therefore the door was closed. The use of a specially designed puzzle, box, shown below, was a favourite device with him. Thorndike studied the character of Trial and Error learning in a number of experiments on cats. Thorndike’s Puzzle Box Experiment: Theories of learning For learring something, a person makes a number of trials, some responses do not give satisfactory results, but he goes on making further trials till he gets satisfactory response Thus, according to Thorndike, learning takes place through a process of appraximatlon and correlation. Pavlov Theory place gradually by the process of trial and error. (I) Trial And Error Theory/Learning Theories or Pavlov Theory Learning by Insight Theory (Gestalt Theory of Learning)

These theories will, at least, help us to spell out fundamental conditions favourable to the learning process. Whatever the reason, it would not be a useful approach to ignore important theories of learning and their educational implications.

Secondly, different interpretations about learning psychology many a time show disagreements. It is sometimes argued that since these theories have developed on the basis of experimentation with the animals, their results cannot be fully applied to human beings. The discussion on various theories of learning raise certain doubts on their validity. To learn any thing we need our sense to process the information around us.Learning theory describe how a living being absorbs and process knowledge during learning. Learning Theories or Pavlov Theory is the process of acquiring knowledge from past experience.
