Define: aphasia
|

|
Define: apraxia
|

|
|
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.
