CANNON,WALTER, PAVLOV,IVAN AND THE PROBLE M OF EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR

W.Cannon's theory of emotions denied James-Lange hypothesis of body - consciousness dualism. The latter was critisized by L.S. Vygotsky as w ell as Scheler-Diltey intentional theory. There was close personal and scientific bondage between W. Cannon I. Pavlov. W. Cannon included th e concept of conditioned reflex in his theory of emotional behavior. I . Pavlov included subcortex function, corresponding to Cannon's <<main emotions>>, into the scheme of higher nervous activity. W. Cannon and I. Pavlov both considered the behavior concept to be different from p sychology of consciousness and from neurophysiology.
