Start-Reflex

“Start reflexes” are specific biological and reflex reactions that occur in a person or animal at the moment of starting any activity. These responses may be associated with the initial stages of motor activity, such as lifting the limbs, extending, straightening the body, running, climbing or jumping. Let's look at a few examples of the start reflex observed in animals and humans.

Physiological start-reactions: * Smile: When a person sees an attractive person, he smiles, even if they do not know each other yet. This is an example of a physiological start-reaction associated with the onset of emotional arousal.

* Flight or response to danger: In the face of danger, people may flee, although this may result in injury or death. In some cases, flight is a normal physiological response. It can help animals avoid injury and save their lives. However, these reactions must be controlled and managed to minimize negative consequences.

Features of start-off reflexes in people People can also respond to social or psychological stimuli in such a way that their reaction may depend on personal characteristics and experience. For example:

Reaction to Compliments Some people love compliments, while others may feel uncomfortable in the situation. This is often due to a person’s complexes, negative self-esteem or fear of being accepted in society. Therefore, knowing your reactions to external stimuli is an important aspect in communicating with people. Each person has his own individual experience and perception of the world, which makes his start-reactions unique. Therefore, it is important to be able to manage your reaction to various life situations and social conditions. Stages of activation of start processes:

1. Warning (start position): In this phase, the body prepares for the rapid start of any action. The exchange of information between think tanks begins. There is an analysis of images and information that we receive from the environment. 2. Start (giving life): To activate the start process, it is necessary that the cells of our body release energy, which will be used to start and maintain all processes. When the control process is carried out at the appropriate level, it moves into the stage of performing actions. 3. Execution (completion of a task): When the start process is activated, the body begins to work on completing the task. The entire complex of instinctive reactions is activated in an instant.
