The term reflexive is applied by traditional grammarians to an event or situation that “reflects” (“rebounds”) upon its initiator, typically when some internal argument of the predicate co-refers with its subject (e.g., English John pinched himself or John saw himself in the mirror).

Inter-rater reliability of categorical versus continuous scoring of fish vitality : does it affect the utility of the reflex action mortality predictor (RAMP) approach? [PDF]
Scoring reflex responsiveness and injury of aquatic organisms has gained popularity as predictors of discard survival. Given this method relies upon the individual interpretation of scoring criteria, an evaluation of its robustness is done here to test ...

A recent theory of pigeons' equivalence‐class formation (Urcuioli, 2008) predicts that reflexivity, an untrained ability to match a stimulus to itself, should be observed after training on two “mirror‐image” symbolic successive matching tasks plus identity successive matching using some of the symbolic matching stimuli. One group of pigeons was trained

Orgasm-induced Seizures: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Certain types of stimuli can trigger epileptic seizures in patients with epilepsy. This phenomenon is defined as reflex seizure. Stimuli may be in visual, auditory, tactile, or cognitive forms, and orgasm may trigger epileptic seizures. A 42-year-old man

The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology
That the greater demand for a unifying principle and controlling working hypothesis in psychology should come at just the time when all generalizations and classifications are most questioned and questionable is natural enough.

Contralateral inhibition of click- and chirp-evoked human compound action potentials [PDF]
Cochlear outer hair cells (OHC) receive direct efferent feedback from the caudal auditory brainstem via the medial olivocochlear (MOC) bundle. This circuit provides the neural substrate for the MOC reflex, which inhibits cochlear amplifier gain and is ...

A characterization of reflexivity [PDF]
Let \(E\) be a real normed space and consider the following semi-inner products \((-,-)_i\), \((-,-)_s\) given by \[ \begin{aligned}(x,y)_i &:= \lim_{t\to 0-} {|y+tx|^2-|y|^2\over 2t}\quad x,y\in E\\ (x,y)_s &:= \lim_{t\to 0_+} {|y+ tx|^2-|y|^2\over 2t}\quad x,y\in E.\end{aligned} \] The author proves: Theorem 3: Let \(E\) be a real Banach space.

Trigeminal Cardiac Reflex: New Thinking Model About the Definition Based on a Literature Review
Trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is a brainstem reflex that manifests as sudden onset of hemodynamic perturbation in blood pressure (MABP) and heart rate (HR), as apnea and as gastric hypermotility during stimulation of any branches of the trigeminal nerve.

The trigeminocardiac reflex – a comparison with the diving reflex in humans
The trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) has previously been described in the literature as a reflexive response of bradycardia, hypotension, and gastric hypermotility seen upon mechanical stimulation in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve.
