Isomorphic Provoking Response

An isomorphic provocative reaction is a type of provocative reaction in which a change in the shape or appearance of an object occurs in response to the influence of a stimulus. This phenomenon was first described in the 1950s in the works of Russian scientist Nikolai Nikolaevich Miller.

The essence of an isomorphic provoking reaction is that, under the influence of a stimulus, the body begins to change its shape or appearance in order to adapt to new conditions. For example, if a person sees a snake, their body may begin to take on a more curved shape to appear more like the snake and avoid its attention.

The isomorphic provocative response can be used in various fields such as medicine, psychology and biology. For example, in medicine, isomorphic challenge responses can help doctors better understand how the body responds to different diseases or medications. In psychology, isomorphic provocations can be used to study human behavior in various situations.

However, it should be noted that an isomorphic provoking reaction is not always positive. In some cases, it can lead to negative consequences such as injury or even death. Therefore, when using isomorphic provocations, caution must be exercised and possible risks taken into account.



Recently, the study of the physiology of laughter and isomorphic provocative reactions has become increasingly relevant. If a modern person, who has received education and upbringing in society, is not always able to hold back a smile when hearing absurd statements, then what can we say about people who have never been in the realities of the modern world. At such moments, an isomorphic provocative reaction occurs - behavioral stereotypy, in which a person copies the emotions and actions of the people around him. At the same time, he tries not to look unusual, maintaining an internal state close to neutral. However, this depends on the individual characteristics of the individual, since in the process of life, each person develops a certain level of stress resistance and adaptation to changing conditions within his psyche.

It’s interesting, but some people interested in science and its laws are surprised to find in their memory no less amazing examples of isomorphic provocation from the past. What might they encounter in modern conditions and what should they do? There are many theories on this matter, which can be divided into psychological and sociological, depending on the purpose of the study. For example, what will happen if a person has a higher education, living in modern, average Russia, but suddenly laughs in the company of unfamiliar people?
