Hello friend...
ACQUIRED REFLEXES
_________________
An acquired, complex adaptive reaction of an animal or man; it is caused by a specific condition (hence its name) and is based on a temporary association between a conditioned stimulus (signal) and an unconditioned reflex act that reinforces the stimulus. Conditioned reflexes are caused by the activity of the highest areas of the central nervous system—the cerebral cortex and the subcortex; they occur during the process of ontogeny and are based on unconditioned reflexes.
The term “conditioned reflex” was introduced in 1903 by I. P. Pavlov. Pavlov’s research led him to devise the conditioned-reflex theory of animal and human behavior, as well as a new theory of brain functions that focused on the physiology of higher nervous activity. The study of the formation and characteristics of conditioned reflexes has furthered knowledge of the brain’s functioning.
INNATE OR NATURAL REFLEXES
__________________________
An automatic instinctive unlearned reaction to a stimulus. inborn reflex, instinctive reflex, physiological reaction, reflex, reflex action, reflex response, unconditioned reflex. accommodation reflex - reflex changes in the eyes that enable an object to be focused on the retina.
