Classical conditioning a. reflexogenous zones

edit

Hi, great to meet such an expert among wikipedians! I’ve just noticed your revision of the article “Classical conditioning”. Could I ask you a question concerning improving that article? While writing about difference between conditioned and unconditioned reflexes, I wikified the word combination receptive fields. As far as I can understand, this wikification turns out to be inappropriate. The receptive field of a reflex, also known as “reflexogenous (reflexogenic) zone”, is not the same as the receptive field of a sensory neuron. These are a bit different concepts. Is it so? If I’m right, should I create the corresponding disambiguation page and a special article about reflexogenous zones? --SU ltd. (talk) 05:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm not an expert on this particular topic, but my understanding is that the receptive field of a neuron refers to the group of receptors which, when activated, cause that neuron to become active. "Rreflexogenous zone refers to the group of receptors that when activated triggers a certain uncondiitoned reflex. Thus, the two terms are closely related, but do differ in that stimulation in a receptive field triggers the discharge of a neuron in the peripheral or central nervous system and stimulation in a reflexogenous zone triggers a behavioral response. Db4wp 15 Feb 2013

Many thanks for your explanation. I thought so, but I was not sure. I'm familiar with such concepts of sensory physiology as receptors and neurotransmitters. An example in the article "Reflexogenous Zone" seems to witness that the concepts in question differ from one another. Proceeding from your reply, I should certainly correct my wikification on of these days. --SU ltd. (talk) 00:19, 16 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Operant conditioning

edit

I really appreciate your work on Operant conditioning but there is a wider structural problem. Operant conditioning consists of Reinforcement and Punishment (psychology). There is a lot of overlap in those articles and Operant conditioning. There is no easy solution and at present the applications are duplicated between articles.--Penbat (talk) 18:58, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
