Infant Reflexes

Infant Reflexes
Your text does not cover some of these important infant reflexes, so I want to make sure you've had a chance to see them. All of them are present in newborns and aid the survival of otherwise vulnerable infants.

Rooting Reflex



Sucking Reflex (this video will actually demonstrate both sucking and rooting reflexes)


Grasping Reflex


Moro Reflex (This is sometimes described as an infant's startle response. Can be brought on by any unexpected stimulus. Although this is nicely illustrated in the video below, I like this one better, because it's cute.)


Babinski Reflex (Ignore the weird, melodramatic tone in this video)

Psych Club Ornament Directions

For today's Psych Club meeting, you'll have a chance to make a holiday ornament featuring your favorite psychologist.

Follow the directions found here, and just swap in a picture of your selected psychologist for the holiday paper.

Who wouldn't want Freud glaring at them from the tree?
