Question

hey friends please tell difference between unconditional and conditional reflex ​

Answer 1

• Conditional is acquired during life. It is highly individual and specially learned. It involves Cortical or higher subcortical centers. It makes reflexes more precise and individual. It is corresponding to the conditions we live in.

• An unconditional reflex is inborn, the mechanism is already present and ready. It is realized from different parts of the Central Nervous System usually not involving the Cortex. It is steady and characteristic and common in a species. It serves for self-preservation (e.g. foot intake), self-development (for instance imitation or research) and as species maintained social (sexual behavior, hierarchy, territorial, relation to parent).
