The answer is:

Correct Answer(s):

  • grasping
  • sucking
  • rooting

Incorrect Answer(s):

  • shivering
  • knee-jerk reflex

Explanation:

  1. Grasping Reflex: This is a primitive reflex seen in infants where they will automatically grasp anything that touches the palm of their hand. It is typically present at birth and fades as the child grows older.

  2. Sucking Reflex: This reflex is crucial for feeding and is present in infants. When the roof of the baby's mouth is touched, the baby will start to suck. This reflex is essential for breastfeeding and bottle-feeding.

  3. Rooting Reflex: This reflex helps the baby find the breast or bottle to begin feeding. When the baby's cheek is stroked, they will turn their head toward the touch and open their mouth.

  4. Shivering: This is not a reflex specific to infants. Shivering is a response to cold that occurs in people of all ages to generate heat.

  5. Knee-Jerk Reflex: This is a reflex that is present in both infants and adults. It is a response to a tap on the knee and is not specific to infants.
