Newborns have common innate early behavioral responses to external stimuli. In one such response, a baby will quickly move its legs and arms away and back to its body, when it perceives a lack of physical support or a sudden, loud noise. Moro and Startle are the specific names given to this type of innate, automatic behavioral response.
