Dear Sirs,
Let`s imagine the case. I am staying at the crossroad. I would like to cross the street but the red light is on. Why am I staying? What biological process manages myself?
Could we interpret it as my brain mechanism associates the thought (meaning) "I can be injured by moving cars" with unconditioned reflex/phenomena of self-preservation?
I would be very grateful if you gives the references and explain I am right or not.
Thank you for an advance
