Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns rely on reflexes to interact with their environment. They do not yet have fully developed voluntary movement and rely on innate reflexes such as the rooting and sucking reflexes for feeding and the startle reflex to react to sudden noises or movements. As they continue to develop, they will begin to gain more control over their movements and develop voluntary motor skills.
