Momentary Conditioning


An idiom referring to the Strategic Ploy of deception employed through a repeated seemingly predictable sequence which then unexpectedly changes to take advantage of the Conditioned Response.

 

Comments:

 

Conditioned Responses were first officially recognized and documented by the Russian priest Pavlov in and around 1889, in his famous dog experiments.

 

Momentary Conditioning differs from Conditioned Response in that Momentary Conditioning is employed for much shorter lengths of time. Typically only long enough to deceive the opponent(s) into believing that they perceive a pattern (which is then broken).

 

Momentary Conditioning can be used against the opponent by using Reactionary Anticipation and Reactionary Set-up.

 

Momentary Conditioning can be used against you through a Rhythmic Pattern.

 

Conditioned Responses are commonly  brought about by Unanticipated Variables against an opponent.

 

Example(s):

 

Repeatedly punching the same spot until the opponent anticipates the maneuver demonstrates Momentary Conditioning.
