Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of lower organisms, challenging long-held assumptions about their behavior. The author meticulously examines the responses of various species, such as ciliates and rotifers, to stimuli like heat, cold, and light. By conducting experiments and detailed observations, the author meticulously dismantles the popular theory of "tropisms," which posits that an organism's movement towards or away from a stimulus is directly dictated by the stimulus's effect on its locomotor organs. Instead, the author proposes a groundbreaking alternative, arguing that the seemingly random movements of these organisms actually follow a specific pattern, characterized by a distinct "motor reaction." This reaction, involving a sequence of backing up, turning, and moving forward, is triggered by the organism's sensory perception of the stimulus. This pattern, often repeated until the organism finds a more favorable environment, suggests that these simple organisms are capable of complex learning through trial and error. By meticulously dissecting the mechanisms behind these behaviors, the author offers a new perspective on the intelligence and adaptability of lower organisms, challenging the traditional view of their simplistic nature and paving the way for a deeper understanding of the intricacies of life at its most fundamental level. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331942009_0
