Superficial cutaneous reflexes include the gag reflex‚ the plantar reflex‚ and the anal wink reflex (Crimlisk & Grande‚ 2004). The deep tendon reflexes include checking the reflexes of the “biceps‚ triceps‚ brachioradialis‚ patellar‚ and Achilles tendon” (Crimlisk & Grande‚ 2004‚ p. 7). And the vestibular reflexes

Reflex acts were one of the first human reactions to being studied. Descartes was the first beginning a study model of reflex acts‚ this to be able to demonstrate that the body worked like any other machine. Another scientist in studying this phenomenon‚ Robert Whytt. He was a Scottish physicist and physicist. He inclined his research around action-reflex‚ differentiating voluntary and involuntary movements. Describing the pupil reflex to light (reflecting Whytt)‚ he further proposed that the arches

most basic circuits is a reflex arc‚ which occurs rapidly in response to inputs from the sensory neurons and consist of only one or a few afferent and efferent cells. Such a response is very quick and automatic. Reflexes are among the oldest and most important features of nervous systems‚ because they allow animal to respond quickly to potentially dangerous events.

These reflexes include the rooting reflex‚ the sucking reflex‚ the Moro reflex‚ and the grasping reflex. Some reflexes are immediately tested by doctors at birth to insure the newborns health. The video I watched‚ in part‚ displayed nurses testing the rooting‚ sucking and Moro reflexes of newborns in a hospital setting. The rooting reflex occurs when an infant turns its head to find something to suck in response to the stimuli of being touched‚ and the sucking reflex refers to an infant’s automatic

CS306- INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS Part – A 1. There are well-known classes of problems that are intractably difficult for computers‚ and other classes that are provably undecidable. Does this mean AI is impossible? (2) No‚ it means that AI systems should avoid trying to solve intractable problems. Usually this means they can only approximate optimal behavior. Notice that even humans do not solve NP- complete problems. Sometimes they are good at solving specific instances with a lot of structure

At the end of the six weeks‚ or sooner or later depending on the baby (this is an example of rate of development)‚ the baby’s hands will automatically grab whatever it is place in its hand‚ due to the palmer reflex. Once the simple reflexes have been developed the baby will go into another stage of development where it develops primary circular reactions‚ and after once it has accomplished it over a certain period‚ it will move on to yet another stage of development
