stabilizing movement
postural movement, any action that gains or holds stability in the force of gravity or self-generated forces
locomotor moovement
used to change one’s location in space
manipulative movement
movement that affects the environment with ones body (EX: throwing)
what are reflexive movements
movements that have a high probability of occurring following a stimulus
what are spontaneous movments
movements that have no purpose or stimulus (EX: shaking a rattle)
primitive reflexes
present at birth but are replaced with voluntary movements at about one year
palmar grasp

- stimulus: pressure simultaneous on both palms
- response: opening of mouth, closing of eyes, and neck flexes
palmar mental reflex
- stimulus: pressure on lower palms
- response: opening and closing of jaw
retained primitive reflexws
when primitive reflexes stay prior to one year and is an indicator of developmental disorder
postural/locotmotor reflexes
generally not present at birth
