Conclusions
-
1.
By the use of the classical motor-defensive method of conditioning to “pure time” in experiments onHelix lucorum changes can be detected in the responses of the pneumostome taking place during formation of the reflex.
-
2.
The newly formed reflex is conditioned with respect to its basic properties.
-
3.
The similarity of the properties of the conditioned pneumostome reflex formed inHelix lucorum and the conditioned reflex to “pure time” in higher animals suggests a similarity of the neurophysiological mechanisms of formation of the reflex.
-
4.
The results indicate the important role played by constantly acting factors of the experimental situation in the process of formation of a conditioned reflex to “pure time” in the snail.
