A local motor response to a local sensation; an unlearned automatic behavior that may be influenced by higher control centers, e.g., grasping a pen or a glass of water. Most reflexes are involuntary in the sense that they occur without the person willing them to do so, but all of them can be brought under voluntary control, such as when grasping an object.[1]
