Other Index 8: The Conditioned Reflex

1. █ Divider: 8
2. █ Section Title: The Conditioned Reflex
3. █ Simple conditioned reflex as an elementary property of the commutive system, 1621. Still unsolved, 1943. Solved with multistable system, 1982. Further observations, 2064, 2490. Still unsolved, with reasons, 2192, 2243.
4. █ Conditioned reflex might be due to feedback depending on a "match" 2612.
5. █ Conditioned reflex machine built. 2614. Seems to be original, 2623.
6. █ List of properties of conditioned reflex for checking theory, 2186.
7. █ Habituation to a moving stimulus 2608.
8. █ If a variable is repeatedly displaced to a value X, then the system tends to a field with resting state at X, 2240.
9. █ Two examples of a system stabilising a variable after the variable has been fixed repeatedly there, 1826.
10. █ Forcing a variable in an U.S. repeatedly to one value tends to make the resting state go towards that value 2500.
11. █ In a multistable system, if variables are repeatedly forced to certain values they will tend to become stabilised there, 1943. Improved statement, 2015, 2240.
12. █ Prediction, nature of, 2609.
13. █ Ultrastable process tending to correct prediction, 2610.
14. █ Hull's model showing conditioned reflex, 1667.
15. █ The "multistable reserve" 2244.
16. █ Importance of averaging in the conditioned reflex, 2061.
17. █ Conditioned reflex can occur outside cerebral cortex, 2185.
18. █ The "two-parameter" explanation of "association" 2231, 2234.
19. █ A fresh start at the conditioned reflex, 2670.
20. █ A possible mechanism for the conditioned reflex examined but rejected, 2673.
21. █ Ignoring the breaks makes an animal seem to have freedom and intelligence; knowing the breaks makes it a machine (thus reconciling the two aspects)
22. █ An ultrastable system is immune to a disturbance ß if the U.S. was going to act as ß anyway, 2689. This gives a new clue to the conditioned reflex, 2691.
23. █ In some circumstances, not reinforcing a conditioned reflex may give a large response, 2694.
24. █ Two ways of getting a conditioned reflex: they are closely related, 2695.
25. █ Mechanism for conditioned reflex of second order, 2699.
26. █ Conditioned reflex demonstrated on the homeostat, 2747, 2762.
27. █ When considering the conditioned reflex, consult Woodworth's book, which contains much material extra to Pavlov's, 2844.
28. █ Since the decerebrate dog still has abundant dynamic mechanisms, but cannot develop the more intricate reflexes, we can deduce that the intricate reflexes demand specialised mechanisms only to be found in the cortex. 2845, 2858.
29. █ Three ways of 'proving' that a theory of the conditioned reflex is true, 2848.
30. █ Hebb points out that Pavlov's theory is contradicted by Pavlov's own facts, 2853.
31. █ A mechanism to be considered 2855.
32. █ Conditioned reflex in Carchesium, 2860.
33. █ Effect of alternate reinforcement and non- reinforcement: 2914.
34. █ See notes from Gantt, 2930.
35. █ Extinction is not complete if the conditions are changed 3011.
36. █ For the elementary conditioned reflex, essential variables are not necessary. 3091.
37. █ One of the conditioned reflex's most characteristic features is recovery after extinction. 3111.
38. █ 'Pseudo'-conditioning is due to the animal reacting to more than the experimenter thinks of, 3112.
39. █ Anrep's experiment, 3367.
40. █ Neutral stimuli play a part in reactions, 3458.
41. █ Another contribution to the basic mechanism 3894.
42. █ The multistable system probably promotes competition between it's component arcs, 4426.
43. █ Conditioned reflex as loss of transmition, 4424.
44. █ The phenomenon of p. 197 (Pavlov) must be due to movements between states of equilibrium, for no accumulation of noise or error occurs.
45. █ Conditioned reflex probably works by going from equilibrium to equilibrium. 5278.
46. █ Conditioned reflex may use any response that is not too flexible / not too rigid. 5427.
47. █ Conditioned reflex of alcohol causing production of anti-toxin. 6060.
48. █ Simultaneous forcing may give a trace of conditioned reflex. 6136.
