|---|---|
| Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) Stimulus: | Head position, turned to one side |
| ATNR Response: | Arm and leg on face side are extended, arm and leg on scalp side are flexed, spine curved with convexity toward face side |
| ATNR Normal age of response: | Birth to 6 months |
| Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR) Stimulus: | Head position, flexion or extension |
| STNR Response: | When head is in flexion, arms are flexed, legs extended. When head is in extension, arms are extended, legs are flexed |
| STNR Normal age of response: | 6 to 8 months |
| Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) Stimulus: | Position of labyrinth in inner ear - reflected in head position |
