responding to the sight of the research assistants’ white lab coats‚ which the animals had come to associate with the presentation of food. Unlike the salivary response to the presentation of food‚ which is an unconditioned reflex‚ salivating to the expectation of food is a conditioned reflex. Pavlov then focused on investigating exactly how these conditioned responses are learned or acquired.

Superficial cutaneous reflexes include the gag reflex‚ the plantar reflex‚ and the anal wink reflex (Crimlisk & Grande‚ 2004). The deep tendon reflexes include checking the reflexes of the “biceps‚ triceps‚ brachioradialis‚ patellar‚ and Achilles tendon” (Crimlisk & Grande‚ 2004‚ p. 7). And the vestibular reflexes

The next brain system is the Limbic system or the mammalian brain. This first developed in mammals; it is responsible for memory‚ mood‚ and hormone control. The last brain area in this model is the neocortex (also called the primate brain). The neocortex controls logic‚ language‚ planning‚ and social interaction

Usually‚ simple reflexes like the myotactic reflexes are produced through single synapses occurring between motor neurons and sensory axons. The required circuitry for this reflex is confirmed in the spinal cord. The sensory information generated is then transferred to the nervous system. More complex reflexes usually involve
