Is scratching your head in confusion an actual human reaction or cartoon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scratvhing your head: Is a reaction for some people in real life but not everyone. Some people stare blankly others may get mad. In cartoons we see one standard sterotyped response. The real response is as varied as individual people themselves.
