Question

What best describes the Moro reflex in a baby?

quickly closing their arms when startled
closing their fist around objects placed in their palms
bringing knees to their chests in the fetal position
spreading fingers apart while sleeping

Answer 1

Probably should be moved to the 'Psychology' section.


Moro reflex is one of the infantile adaptations where the baby spreads out his or her arms when being carried or startled. Hope that helps.
