may be, but not always.
When a reflex occurs in response to a specific stimulus, the brain can reinforce associated voluntary behaviors that follow the reflex. Through repetition and reinforcement, the brain can learn to anticipate and control the reflex response, turning it into a voluntary learned behavior. This process involves the formation of new neural pathways and connections that link the reflex with the voluntary behavior.
The learned activity's response time changed while the simple patellar reflex stayed the same.
The learned activity's response time changed while the simple patellar reflex stayed the same.
No, throwing is a learned motor skill, not a reflex. Reflexes are automatic responses to stimuli, while throwing involves a conscious decision and coordinated movement.
Running can be considered both a learned behavior and a reflex. While the initial instinct to start running may be due to a reflexive response to a perceived threat, the ability to sustain running and improve performance is a learned behavior through practice and training.
An example of a behavior that is 'inborn' and does not not have to be learned is instinct. Instincts are inborn patterns of activity or tendencies to actions common to specific biological species.
A conditioned reflex is learned through association, such as Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell paired with food. In contrast, an unconditioned reflex is an innate, automatic response to a stimulus without prior learning, like blinking when something comes close to your eye.
Behaviors triggered by a reflex. Examples of this include sneezing after inhaling dust or the knee-jerk reaction when a doctor hammers your knee.
The rooting reflex causes an infant to turn her head in response to a touch on the cheek. This reflex assists in breastfeeding until finding the breast is a learned behavior. The reflex usually disappears by the time the baby is four months old or so.
A simple refelx refers to a reflex inborn, such as blinking or coughing. Meanwhile,a conditioned reflex is a reflex developed by an individual owing to learning/experience such as playing a musical instrument,where notes can be played without attention due to experience.
learned or acquired reflex - a reflex which is learned through practice or repetition and may involve both a far more complicated set of triggering stimuli and a far more complicated pattern of motor response, e.g., the reflexive motor actions produced after one has learned to ride a bicycle or drive a car; most such reflexes are somatic because they involve complex response patterns from skeletal muscles. While an unlearned reflex is like breathing
The process is called a knee jerk reflex. It is a simple reflex that occurs when the patellar tendon is tapped, resulting in the lower leg kicking forward involuntarily.
