Define: aphasia
an acquired disturbance of language due to a cortical dysfunction (note: not aphagia, which is the inability to swallow)
Define: apraxia
the inability to perform a skilled, learned, purposeful act in the absence of a primary disturbance of attention, comprehension, motivation, power, tone, coordination, or sensation that would preclude the act
Define: agnosia
the inability to recognize and correctly interpret incoming stimuli despite adequate perception in the modality (i.e. visual, tactile, auditory) in which the object is presented

palmomental reflex
occur due to process that disrupt the normal cortical inhibitory pathways. To perform this reflex, strike the thenar eminence briskly with a thin stick object, from proxima to distal, using moderate pressure. An abnormal response is a single visible twitch of the ipsilateral mentalis muscle.
rooting reflex
this reflex assists in breastfeeding, and disappears at 4 months of age. The reflex is performed by gently stroking/touching the side of the cheek/mouth. The abnormal response is instinctively searching for the object by moving the head steadily in decreasing arcs until the object is found.
grasp reflex
: this reflex should extinguish by 6 months of age. It is performed by gently stroking the palm of the hand. The abnormal response is uninhibited grasping of the object in the palm.
