Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orienting reflex is an involuntary response to a new or unexpected stimulus. A cat sniffing the air when it detects the odor of a strange animal is an example of an orienting reflex as it is a response to a new or unexpected stimulus. Looking at the page of your text as you read it, watching television or looking at a person during a conversation on the bus are not necessarily responses to a new or unexpected stimulus.
