"A reflex action, also known as a reflex, is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus."

There are many reflexes only observed in human infants.  As they age they should grow out of them.

Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex- (also known as the fencing reflex)-when the face is turned to one side, the arm and leg on the side to which the face is turned extend and the arm and leg on the opposite side bend.Grasp reflex- when an object is placed in the infant's hand and strokes their palm, the fingers will close and they will grasp it.Moro reflex- ( also known as the startle reflex)-when the body contracts in response to loud noises or sudden movements.Sucking- when an item is placed by the infants mouth it will begin sucking on it.Tonic labyrinthine reflex- when the head of the infant is tilted back while he/she is lying on his/her back. This causes the back to stiffen and even arch backwards, causes the legs to straighten, stiffen, and push together, causes the toes to point, causes the arms to bend at the elbows and wrists, and causes the hands to become fisted or the fingers to curl.
