Question

A boy learns typewriting and harmonium at the same time. He finds harmonium more easy to learn. This is an example of
A)Conditioned reflex
B)Short term homeostasis
C)Long term homeostasis
D)Residual learning

Answer 1

Hint: Our brain creates new connections and neurons each and every time we learn something new, and makes existing neural pathways stronger or weaker. ... In your neurons, dendrites transmit signals from other dendrites and the signals pass along the axon, linking them to other neurons and dendrites.

Complete answer:
An indifferent stimulus creates an unconditioned response, coupled with another stimulus capable of eliciting an unconditioned reflex. The indifferent stimuli is able, by itself to provoke a response after some time, which can then be considered a conditioned one. The external environment (auditory, olfactory, tactile and thermal stimuli) as well as the internal environment can contribute to these indifferent stimuli (viscera, bones, joints). The motor, the secretory or the neurovegetative may be the conditioned responses. Therefore, voluntary or involuntary vegetative responses may be conditioned. If we use the necessary conditioning, we can make certain involuntary responses appear, at our will. Excitatory (with an increase in function) or inhibitory responses may be conditioned (with function decrease).

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: 1. For example, after proper learning, reflexes formed through training and learning are called conditioned or acquired reflexes, we can perform dancing, simply by using reflexes.
2. Homeostasis is any mechanism of self-regulation by which an organism seeks to preserve equilibrium when adapting to the best conditions for its survival. Life persists if homeostasis is successful; if it is ineffective, it results in the organism's catastrophe or death.
