However, many ordinary observations, such as touching a very hot object, show us that decisions and decision-making can take place in a distributed manner.

Sets of neurons may therefore act together as action processors. Possibly this needs training, as very young babies might not be able to show this kind of behaviour.

So now we are able to understand that training is a mechanism by which sets of neurons begin to work together to carry out functions that do not need the brain.

Is Reflex Action a trained behaviour? Does a newborn baby sense the mothers temperature and opens her mouth to suck the life giving mothers milk?

Sucking_Reflex looks like a non-trained process. Could it be that the training happens in the womb from the third month?

Maradonna had trained football tactics into Reflex Action

Reflex Arc (arm away from hot object), Sucking Reflex are Unconditioned Reflexes but Conditioned Reflexes are by training. Maradonna is a Conditioned Reflex Action footballer! In my younger days, I too could have been trained to be a good football player.

Ivan Pavlov’s classic 1927 paper on Conditioned Reflex. How experiments should be carried out for physiological activities.
