Talk:Startle response

message: This article only recognizes the acoustic startle reaction. The visual startle reflex is more complex but has some interesting features, namely Subliminal Distraction.
The basics of the visual startle reflex begins with subliminal sight and the subliminal detection of threat movement. This system functions in the background of consciousness. It will break your concentration with a startle if threat movement is detected while you slightly dissociate to perform knowledge work or daydream. 
Basic information on this is in first semester psychology psychophysics. 
Subliminal Distraction arises from the fact that there are no off switches for sensor cells in your eyes and ears. If stimulus reaches them neural impulses go to the brain over noral channels.

thread_title: Startle reaction/reflex

message: It's not included in the article, but often, people "yelp" or cry out without intent as a reaction to a startling stimulus whether visual, auditory, or tactile. Info on this would be great to include in this article.--99.252.199.159 (talk) 21:43, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Isn't involuntary vocalisation part of the startle reflex? 

message: For Arae91, your contribution helped. Also, good job on putting a cite on what a moro reflex is. Overall, you did a good job on citing all the information. Lastly, i just added a link to the moro reflex to the wikipedia of it.Khaycee18(talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 04:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  PSYCH EDIT 101

message: This article made a distinction between the Moro and startle reflexes in infants, but this distinction isn't supported by any reference (and was actually contradicted by one of the citations). See , , , , . I couldn't find a single reference, notable or otherwise, that distinguished between the two. I will update this article appropriately. Cory Donnelly (talk) 13:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  what is the startle response? 

message: This needs to be included somewhere. Does anybody have any refs to any such research into this specific topic surrounding the startle reflex?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.182.73 (talk) 12:46, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Involuntary vocalisation. 

message: For me, this attempt to combine the startle response (physiology) with the startle reflex (neurology) does nothing but add to the confusion that seems to persist here.  — MaxEnt 05:14, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
