The second describes a quantitative descriptive profile of selected reflexes that has been developed to provide a clear, structured approach to more sophisticated analyses of reflexes and a more complete understanding of the role reflexes play in inhibiting the development of voluntary motor functioning. The book is extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables. It includes a bibliography and an index. [Funded in part by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
