[The simplest form of emotional-motor reaction in man].
In the present paper, human startle reaction (SR) characteristics were estimated by the amplitude of eye-lid reflex and extent of monosynaptic H-reflexes increase. SR depended not only on the parameters of sound stimulation (strength, unexpectedness) but also on the subject's functional state (attention, emotional background). Differences are given of the SR parameters from the orienting reaction. It is supposed that SR is an independent form of emotional-motor reaction of an adaptive character.
