Lab 3 question 1

Help for Question 1:

Please remember, reflexes and reactions are two completely different things. A reflex is already programmed into your body and there is nothing you can do to remove it. A reaction is learned and thus can be un-learned. A learned reaction will never become a true reflex. The case with Pavlov's dog is a learned reaction, not a reflex; though some people call it a reflex, it is not a reflex in the scientific sense. 

As for the neuronal sequence involved, refer to page 42 of your lab manual. The answer to question 1 should have at least this much detail.
