I am sorry, I cannot answer the question but I have another one. I
remember being taught the the Moro reflex is different from the startle
reflex. Now I see many texts calling the Moro reflex, the startle
reflex. I seem to remember seeing a startle reflex in my 2 children
(when they were infants) which was different from the Moro reflex. My
question, obviously, is whether there are 2 reflexes (Moro and more
tradition startle) or only one?
Thanks,
