Sentence examples for conditioning reflex from inspiring English sources

The same conditioning reflex is behind the Pavlok watch, which helps you break bad habits — eating bad foods, smoking, nail biting, sleeping in — by emitting a mild-to-strong electric shock.

Because of the long latency of the flexion reflex as well as that the conditioning reflex effects were observed at long C-T intervals, it is likely that monosynaptic excitation of TA alpha motoneurons by corticospinal volleys was absent and that corticospinal descending volleys affected FRA interneurons after a polysynaptic relay [ 30].

Conditioned reflex, I guess.

Many automatic, unconditioned reflexes can thus be modified by or adapted to new stimuli, making possible the conditioning of reflex responses.

They are based largely on physiologist Ivan P. Pavlov's conditioned-reflex theory, psychologist B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning theory, and, most especially, psychologist Albert Bandura's social learning theory.

Recurrent inhibition has previously been assessed using the method of conditioning soleus H reflex by a previous reflex discharge that activates Sol Renshaw cells [56].

Modulation of Ia presynaptic inhibition was assessed by conditioning the H reflex with fibular nerve (D1 inhibition) and femoral nerve (heteronymous facilitation) stimulation.

Indeed, the ISI at which the facilitation begins during the reflex conditioning corresponds to the peripheral distance between the two stimulated sites with no central delay.

For example, in honeybee sting extension reflex conditioning it was shown that injection of the DA receptor antagonist flupentixol, but not of the OA receptor antagonist mianserine nor of ringer solution, impaired bees of learning to discriminate a reinforced from a non-reinforced odorant [32].

39 40 H-reflex conditioning will not be used in this protocol, as FCR H-reflex can be easily evoked without facilitation in most cases.

The results of these cellular experiments are quantitatively similar to the results of behavioral experiments with the same protocol and parameters, suggesting that activity-dependent amplification of presynaptic facilitation may make a significant contribution to classical conditioning of the withdrawal reflex.
