Definition

Noun (Psychology): * Dynamic Stereotype: A relatively stable and integrated system of conditioned reflexes (temporary neural connections) formed in the cerebral cortex through the repeated and consistent presentation of a sequence of stimuli. It represents the brain's ability to establish, consolidate, and automate a pattern of response to a predictable series of events or a routine.

Usage

This is a specialized term used primarily in academic, psychological, and physiological contexts. * The formation of a dynamic stereotype underlies the development of habits, skills, and daily routines. * Researchers study the dynamic stereotype to understand learning and adaptive behavior.

Notes on Meaning

This term is specific to the Pavlovian theory of higher nervous activity. It should not be confused with the sociological term "stereotype" (định kiến, khuôn mẫu xã hội). The key aspect of động hình is its dynamic and systemic nature as a sequence of neural processes, not a static idea.
