Hi all I think I can take a stab at answering this one.

Actually if we want to be really technicle --  and also if I have the names 
of my reflexs straight what we refure to constantly as the "startel" refelex 
is actually called Moor’s Reflex.  It is normal in an infant untill about 4-5 
months.  After this time it is "abonormal".    Of course I have a friend who 
calles this the "CP jump" LOL!  Talk about getting really practical?
