text: The importance of reflexes for behavior in general may be elaborated and summarized by the following statements: reflexes are innate in the sense that they are the result of genetically transmitted neural mechanisms; they are hierarchically organized so that very simple reflexes can be combined, by the activity of brain centers, into more complex response patterns; while the most simple reflexes within an organism are fixed and stereotyped, complex reflexes tend to be variable and can be modified by experience; finally, phylogenetically, nervous systems have evolved from diffuse and crude reflex mechanisms to more specialized linkages capable of clearly differentiated response patterns.
