Study Notes
Primitive Reflexes
- The Moro reflex typically disappears between 3-6 months of age.
- The stepping reflex is triggered by holding the baby upright and supporting them under their arms.
- The stepping reflex re-emerges in babies around 12-14 months of age.
- The rooting reflex is activated by stroking the baby's cheek or lips.
- The rooting reflex develops around 32-34 weeks of gestational age.
- A typical characteristic of the asymmetrical tonic neck reflex is the extension of the arm and leg on the side to which the face is turned.
- The rooting reflex usually disappears in infants around 4-6 months of age.
- The frontal lobe of the brain is responsible for replacing primitive reflexes with voluntary movements as it matures.
- A normal response when the asymmetrical tonic neck reflex is elicited in an infant is the extension of the arm and leg on the side to which the face is turned.
- The asymmetrical tonic neck reflex typically emerges in fetal life around 18-20 weeks of gestational age.
