Pavlov's discovery of experiment neurosis was serendipitous, yet it was made under the influence of Breuer and Freud's case of Anna O. In 1914, Pavlov's disciple N. R. Shenger-Krestovnikova, exploring the limits of visual discrimination in dogs, noticed that when the discrimination was difficult, the dogs' behavior became disorganized. Pavlov drew an analogy between the condition of Shenger-Krestovnikova's dogs and their disorganized behavior with Anna O.'s situation and her neurotic reaction. Pavlov concluded that he had demonstrated in the laboratory the elements of neurosis in animals and human alike. Schilder's criticism of his position, his later study of human neuroses in clinical settings, and the views of Janet may have induced Pavlov to differentiate between animal and human neuroses.
巴甫洛夫对实验性神经症的发现是偶然的，但这一发现是在布洛伊尔和弗洛伊德的安娜·O.病例的影响下做出的。1914年，巴甫洛夫的弟子N. R. 申格-克列斯托夫尼科娃在探究狗的视觉辨别极限时注意到，当辨别变得困难时，狗的行为就会变得紊乱。巴甫洛夫将申格-克列斯托夫尼科娃的狗的状况及其紊乱行为与安娜·O.的情况及其神经症反应进行了类比。巴甫洛夫得出结论，他已经在实验室中证明了动物和人类身上都存在神经症的要素。席尔德对他观点的批评、他后来在临床环境中对人类神经症的研究以及雅内的观点，可能促使巴甫洛夫区分动物神经症和人类神经症。
