Life in Pavlov’s Laboratories During Pavlov’s four decades of research, more than 140 scientists and students worked in the two laboratories under his direction. Twenty of his co-researchers were women, including his daughter, V. I. Pavlova. Pavlov, who had an extraordinary memory for details, carefully supervised the procedures of dozens of ongoing research projects. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that the scholarly achievements produced by his laboratories represented the collective efforts of himself and his co-workers (Windholz, 1990).
