Simple DNS question about some basics. NOTIFY and REFRESH difference

When a master DNS is updated does it automatically NOTIFY the slave
DNS?  Or must the slave dns go get a refresh when the SOA Refresh
parameter has expired.

If the Master does notify the Secondary (not waiting for the Slave record
to expire) then does it do so by default?  I know you can specify
additional nameservers you can have the master to notify, but by default
it does all the ones listed as NS records.  Correct?

Let me know how off I am here.

Thanks,
