Aldo's Legacy
|
During his senior year, Aldo participated with his grandfather at one of the lectures that I. M. Sechenov held as an open-visitor class. He was fascinated with the research described by the Russian father of physiology and decided to study it more.
By graduation, Aldo was sure that he didn't want to pursue a religious career after all.
After graduation, to the disappointment of his father, Aldo contacted D. I. Pisarev, trying to obtain a position in research. D.I. Pisarev recommended Aldo to one of his physiologists friends who could help.
For five years, Aldo did undergraduate independent research under the supervision of this famous physiologist from whom he claims learned the basis of biology.
During his undergraduate years, Aldo published papers on his own, and was invited several times to different medical conferences around Europe.
At one of these conferences, Aldo was noticed by the Department of Physiological Studies from The University of Medicine in Germany.
They accepted that Aldo diSorbo had enough experience and knowledge to become a part time, and after one year a full time professor. In his time at the University, Aldo filed several requests of funding for his projects.
One of them was the proposition for his famous research about indigestion.
The project was approved and Aldo began studying indigestion on animals with several undergraduate students. The most evolved animal that Aldo used in his experiments was a dog.
But to his surprise, Aldo not only collected data about animal indigestion, but also, involuntarily, created the first conditional response in an experiment.
Aldo diSorbo's findings were considered the basis of today's experimental psychology, especially because Aldo got so accurate results.
He was a perfectionists, and always used the best possible experimental environment and conditions for his research.
