What is the significance of unconditioned reflexes? Give examples of unconditioned reflexes
1) What is the significance of unconditioned reflexes? Give examples of unconditioned reflexes and explain their significance for the body. 2) What is the biological significance of conditioned reflexes? 3) How do conditioned reflexes differ from unconditioned ones?
Unconditioned reflexes arise in a person from birth and are inherited. They help to survive in the early stages of development, for example: a child (for example, screaming). These reflexes include, for example: breathing, swallowing, salivation and others.
Conditioned reflexes are acquired throughout life. They arise both on natural stimuli, for example: smell, type of food, and artificial stimuli (light, temperature changes, etc.). Thus, the main difference between unconditioned and conditioned reflexes is that the former appear at birth, and the latter appear throughout life.
