As for the reflex arc, I'll ask: from where to where? From my understanding of the reflex arc, the stimulus must occur somewhere along the same nerve pathway as the response, like the knee to the spinal cord and back to the muscles that move the knee. Or the fingertips to the spinal cord and back to the finger muscles in the case of the way I would try to measure reaction time. From eye or ear to muscles in legs or arms as far as I know is not a reflex. And this really shows up in my experiment I would have the kids do for measuring reaction time. Aram
