The Sukhumi Primate Station, which was organized in 1927, served from the very beginning as the base for the first physiological studies of higher nervous activity in primates. The research was conducted under the supervision of I. P. Pavlov and used his methodology of laboratory-developed conditioned reflexes. The results of scientific experiments by Pavlov's students and collaborators during the late 1920s and early 1930s proved central to his arguments against the then popular Gestalt psychology and initiated many scientific research programs in the physiology of higher nervous activity.
