- “A reflex response which is developed in special training procedures ”(J. ECCLES, 1977, p. 235)
As well known, the basic research in this subject has been done by I. PAVLOV.
Of course, when the reflex is condionned, it is still conditional, i.e. the trigger signal is always needed and must be given in a precisely recognizable way.
When the reflex is not sollicited during a long period , it tends to wane, but may generally more or less easily revived.
