Motor development in Neonate is related to:

Motor development in neonates refers to the development of motor skills, which include both voluntary and involuntary movements.

• In newborns, motor development is primarily driven by reflex actions and basic involuntary movements, which gradually evolve into more coordinated voluntary actions as the child grows.

Key Points

• Motor development in neonates is mainly related to reflex action and involuntary action.
• At birth, babies exhibit a range of reflexes such as the rooting reflex (turning the head toward a touch on the cheek) and grasping reflex (grasping an object placed in the hand).
• These reflexes are automatic and help the baby respond to stimuli. Involuntary actions are also present, such as automatic body movements that occur without conscious control, like muscle spasms or jerks.
• As the baby grows, these reflexes are gradually replaced by more voluntary, controlled movements.

Hint

• Differentiation refers to the process of cells or structures becoming more specialized, which is part of overall developmental processes but not specifically related to motor development in neonates.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Reflex Action & Involuntary Action'.
