Understanding Primary Reflexes and Child Development
Unit 3: Primary Reflexes
Primary reflexes are the previous step of voluntary motor activity and movements.
They are automatic movements that happen after a specific stimulus in the first months of life.
In a newborn baby, they are produced in the subcortex because of the unfinished development of the brain.
They are useful to identify normal brain activity (no Motor Neuron Disease).
Their main aim is to protect the child’s life.

Sensation and Perception: Understanding Sensory Processes
Sensation and Perception
Sensation: The process that occurs when a stimulus is detected by receptors in the sense organs. It involves basic, immediate experiences caused by simple, isolated stimuli.
Perception: The thought process related to and influenced by learning and memory, leading to an understanding of a situation.
Attention: The adjustment of sensory organs and the body, resulting in a clear and vivid consciousness of certain stimuli or ideas, and provoking a disposition to act.
