observations‚ the pupil reflex is both an ipsilateral reflex and contralateral reflex. If a person’s left pupil is dilated more than his right pupil‚ he may have Anisocoria‚ a harmless condition characterized by unequally sized pupils affecting about 20% of the population. Having the subject close their eyes during the patellar tendon reflex amplified the response to the mallet strike by causing distraction so that the person was unable to voluntarily suppress the reflex. Although reflexes do not
