Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Palmer grasp is the reflexive action displayed by infants in which they grab an object using their whole hand. This reflex becomes more controlled as the child develops, and they begin to use their fingers and thumbs to pick up objects, which is known as a pincer grip. Moro reflex and fencing reflex are protective reflexes that infants display in response to certain stimuli.
