What is "responses"

Usage examples of "responses".

Habituation and dishabituation, which thus fulfill the criteria for the definitions of learning given at the beginning of Chapter 6, can be regarded as very basic and simple forms of short-term memory, adaptive mechanisms which economize on unnecessary responses and hence help to avoid fatigue.

Kandel argues that the interactions and responses of these neurons to artificially administered neurotransmitters represent, in ultimately reduced form, the memory for the reflex itself.

In the first place, indeterminacy at the level of the neuron and its synaptic interconnections means that one will never be able to understand the mind or the brain simply by an analysis of its individual components, whose responses are inherently unpredictable.

This effect persists for a relatively long time, and as there is a specific relationship between the stimuli and the responses, it is regarded as a genuine form of associative learning.

Instead of fooling credulous multitudes with responses from Delphi, we have a Congress which can enact tariff regulations susceptible of interpretations enough to satisfy the love of mystery of the entire nation.

For them such a dissected chunk of tissue was moribund, its responses no more than dying pathological spasms.

Although everything about their day-to-day functioning was as mechanical as that of any other animal, humans could also think and above all had a soul, whereas, for Descartes, animals were capable only of fixed responses to their environments.

Behaviour, of humans or other animals, was to be understood in its own terms, as simply a series of stimuli and responses linked in chains and adopted by the organism in response to rewards for approved and punishments for undesirable behaviour.

Changes in behavioural responses occur not in an individual but over many generations as a consequence of evolution.

The advantage is that responses are highly flexible and can be modified in response to environmental changes and perceived outcomes within the lifetime of the organism.

However, it is crucial to recognize that such learned responses are not genetically transmitted to offspring.

Despite the remarkable analogy between habituation and sensitization in the intact Aplysia and the responses of its isolated sensory-motor synapse, which certainly fulfill some of my criteria, there is a conspicuous gap in the logic.

Bradley, P M, Burns, B D, and Webb, A C Potentiation of synaptic responses in slices from the chick forebrain.

His observations of the responses to these stimulations were accumulated over a period of several years.

This is the recording of internal events, the responses of the little person to what he sees and hears.
