Can reflex behaviors be taught?
Reflex behaviors are involuntary responses to stimuli and cannot be taught in the traditional sense. However, some behaviors that resemble reflexes, such as conditioned responses, can be trained through repetitive practice and reinforcement. This may create an automatic response to a specific stimulus over time.
How the brain responds or may not respond to a stimulus.?
The brain responds to a stimulus through a complex process involving sensory neurons that transmit information to specific brain regions, where it is interpreted and processed. Depending on the nature and significance of the stimulus, the brain can exhibit various responses, such as reflex actions or conscious decision-making. In some cases, the brain may not respond if the stimulus is deemed irrelevant or if it is habituated to repeated exposure. Additionally, factors like attention, emotional state, and context can influence the brain's responsiveness to stimuli.
Which animals respond to stimuli?
A reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus. Humans use reflex actions in only some of their behaviour, for example controlling the eye's pupil size. Simple reflexes. Simple reflexes produce rapid involuntary responses to a stimulus.
How do organisms react to a stimulus?
Practically anything can be a stimulus, so organisms can respond to them in just about any way. The definition of 'stimulus' and 'response' are a little paradoxical in this context in that a stimulus is anything that provokes a response and a response is anything done to react to a stimulus. Perhaps some examples will make it clearer: if a predator grasps a lizard's tail (stimulus) it will detach the tail and escape (response). If the weather is excessively hot (stimulus), a plant will close the stomata in its leaves to conserve water (response). If a laboratory mouse notices a new object in its cage (stimulus), it will go investigate it (response).
Compare people's responses to the Black Death with some of the present-day responses to AIDS?
compare peopl's responses to the black death with some the present day responses to Ebola or AIDS?
Gravity might be a stimulus that induces a tropic response in a plant?
While gravity is not considered a typical stimulus that induces tropic responses in plants, it does play a role in some plant behaviors like gravitropism (response to gravity). Gravitropism causes plant roots to grow downward and stems to grow upward, helping plants orient themselves for optimal growth. Other stimuli, like light, touch, and chemicals, are more commonly associated with inducing tropic responses in plants.
What rhymes with cumulus?
Some words that rhyme with "cumulus" include "stimulus," "humulus," and "promulus."
What were the responses to the somerset floods?
Building of the dams and dykes are some of the responses of the Somerset floods.
What does it mean to describe something as visually reflexive?
I believe this is psychology-based terminology essentially meaning a emotional response (or reflex, as it is probably an automatic response due to some conditioning or other) as a reaction to particular visual stimulus
What are some synonyms of the word stimulus?
Some synonyms for the word stimulus include band, boost, catalyst, cause and charge. Other words that are synonyms, which mean the same as the word stimulus include encouragement and eye opener.
What actions can the government exercise to influence economic activity?
The government can influence the economic activity by increasing the amount of money in the economy. Some example have been stimulus checks and amended tax rates, that have happened in the past.
Which human body systems are directly involved in reflex actions such as knee jerk blinking and jumping when startled?
The nervous system is directly involved in reflex actions like knee jerk, blinking, and jumping when startled. Specifically, the spinal cord and brainstem are key components in coordinating these rapid automatic responses without conscious involvement from the brain's higher centers.
