The grasping reflex is the most likely reflex to occur when something touches an infant's palms. This reflex causes the infant to automatically grasp onto the object. The rooting reflex involves turning the head and opening the mouth in response to a touch on the cheek or lip, the sucking reflex involves beginning to suck when something touches the roof of the mouth, and the Moro reflex involves a startle response when an infant is suddenly dropped or experiences a sudden change in position.
