Automatic responses to certain stimuli also known as conditioned responses occur when a certain stimulus is paired with an involuntary response. An example of this is Pavlovs famous experiment with dogs where he paired the ringing of a bell with the presentation of food. Over time the dogs learned to salivate at the sound of the bell even without the food being presented. This is an example of a conditioned response.
Other examples of automatic responses to certain stimuli include:
Automatic responses to certain stimuli are a form of learning and can be beneficial in certain situations such as when a person has a fear of loud noises. By pairing the loud noise with a calm response the person can learn to become desensitized to the noise and no longer experience fear.

Three types of stimuli are physical stimuli, chemical stimuli, and biological stimuli. Physical stimuli include environmental factors like light, sound, and temperature that can affect organisms. Chemical stimuli involve substances that trigger responses, such as hormones or pheromones. Biological stimuli refer to interactions with other living organisms, including social cues and predator-prey dynamics.
Stimuli can be categorized into various parts based on sensory modalities: visual stimuli (light and color), auditory stimuli (sound waves), tactile stimuli (texture and pressure), olfactory stimuli (smells), and gustatory stimuli (taste). Additionally, stimuli can be classified as internal (originating from within the body) or external (coming from the environment). Each type of stimulus can evoke specific responses or perceptions, influencing behavior and cognition.
Five types of stimuli include visual stimuli (light and images), auditory stimuli (sounds and music), tactile stimuli (touch and texture), olfactory stimuli (smells), and gustatory stimuli (tastes). Each type engages different sensory receptors and plays a crucial role in how we perceive and interact with our environment. These stimuli can evoke various responses and emotions based on individual experiences and contexts.

They are receptors.

Automatic responses are carried out by the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing without conscious effort. They are immediate reactions to stimuli and help maintain homeostasis in the body.

Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses to specific stimuli, typically mediated by the nervous system without conscious thought. In contrast, stimuli are external or internal changes in the environment that can provoke a response. While stimuli can trigger reflexes, they can also elicit voluntary actions or other types of responses. Essentially, reflexes are the reactions, while stimuli are the triggers for those reactions.
The spinal cord is responsible for integrating simple responses to stimuli, such as the patellar reflex. In the case of the patellar reflex, the sensory neurons in the knee send signals to the spinal cord, where motor neurons are activated to produce the reflexive response of leg extension. This integration occurs without involving the brain, allowing for a quick and automatic response.
Innate physiological dispositions to respond to the environment in certain ways that are present in infancy are called reflexes. These reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses to specific stimuli and help infants survive and interact with their surroundings.
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.
