Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth analysis of variations in the knee jerk reflex, a subject of extensive experimentation throughout the late 19th century. The author explores both normal and augmented reactions, and discusses the variation and significance of these reflexive kicks. One particularly interesting element of the book is the exploration of reflexive and voluntary action. The author sought to determine whether purely external stimuli could elicit the knee jerk response without any voluntary or conscious effort, through a series of experiments where participants were instructed to focus on other stimuli (such as a bell, or a mild electric shock). In doing so, the author uncovers new insights into the connection between external stimuli and motor responses.
