Primitive reflexes are reflex actions originating in the central nervous system that are exhibited by normal infants but not neurologically intact adults, in response to particular stimuli. These reflexes disappear or are inhibited by the frontal lobes as a child moves through normal child development.

Other primitive reflexes tested in adults
As mentioned these are generally referred to as frontal release signs although this may be a misnomer.
They include the palmomental reflex, snout reflex, glabellar reflex or "tap", in addition to some of those mentioned above.
