We are all born with a number of instinctive physical reactions, things we do automatically, which are called primitive reflexes. One of the most interesting is called “grasp reflex”. If you touch the palm of a baby`s hand, the fingers will close around, whatever object is doing the touching. The baby`s grip is so strong that if a baby grasps a rod with both hands. It can be lifted right off the ground. Some psychologists think that this goes back to our evolutionary past when we had to be able to hang on tree branches or to our mother`s fur as she moved. The reflex disappears at about six months of age.
