《生物学通报》1962年第1期上,刊登了焦震海同志所写的《我国古代培养动物条件反射一例》一文,介绍了我国南宋末周密所著《癸辛杂識》中关于培养动物条件反射的記载。現就我所知古籍中有关动物条件反射的記載,尚有一千多年前,五代时候,南唐譚峭在他所著的《化书》中就已经意識到了食物对培养动物条件反射的作用。其原文如下:“庚氏穴池构竹为凭檻,登之者,其声策策焉;辛氏穴池构木为凭檻,登之者,其声堂堂焉。二氏具牧魚于池中,每凭檻投餌,魚必踴跃而出。他日但聞策策堂堂之声,不投餌,亦踴跃而出。則是庚氏之魚可名策策,辛氏之魚可名堂堂,食之化也。”这里譚峭知道,庚氏魚池上的竹檻所发出策策声和辛氏魚池上所发出的堂堂声,原与两池中的魚毫不相关。但他从庚、辛二氏的养魚过程中,观察到在给魚喂食之前,因竹 “Bulletin of biology,” the first issue of 1962, published by Comrade Jiao Zhenhai “written by our country in ancient culture of conditioned reflex,” a article, introduced at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty “Guixin misunderstanding,” on the cultivation of animal conditioned reflex The record.

The original text is as follows: “Genshi pond structure bamboo as the threshold, Deng who, the sound of strategy Yan; Xin pool of wood for the cave threshold, Deng who, its audacious. Pool, every threshold with bait, the fish will be enthusiastic out of his daily but hesitant, do not feed, but also enthusiastically out of .Golden fish can be famous strategy, Xin’s The fish can be famous, the food of the also. ”Tan Tan know here, Geng fish pond on the threshold of the policy issued by the sound and Sang Chi fish pond issued by the cousin, the original two fish in the pool has nothing to do.
