Definition(s)

  • The meaning of the term “reflex” has changed considerably as theories of motor control have evolved. Classically defined as an involuntary and relatively stereotyped response to a particular stimulus, a reflex was considered to be the simplest component of the nervous system able to produce a coherent, elemental reaction.
