What is Automatic behaviour?
'''Automatic behaviour''' is the name for a set of actions that occur (or that continue to occur), without [[Consciousness|conscious]] thought. Usually, they are guided by a part of the [[nervous system]] that is called [[autonomic nervous system]], or visceral nervous system. Automatic behaviour is like a [[reflex]]. *Inherited normal behaviours: for example blinking and leaning back when something is waved in front of face. *Learned normal behaviours: cycling is a good example. Also any sport or dance training aims to make proper behaviours automatic. Another example is simply walking without bumping into other people. Many [[mental illness]]es have certain forms of unwanted automatic behaviour. == Related pages == *[[Unconscious mind]] *I[[instinct|nstinct]] *A[[autonomic nervous system|utonomic nervous system]] [[Category:Symptoms]] [[Category:Reflexes]] [[Category:Psychology]] {{biology-stub}}
