Can you think of any related skills that the pincer grasp might be a precursor for? What about skills related to grasping? In what ways would these primitive skills be so important across cultures?
What will be an ideal response?
A possible answer to the first part of this question would be that it might lead to self-feeding. Grasping might be related to future skills that would involve reaching out to be able to play with a toy that is nearby, or reaching out to gain attention as a form of communication. These skills may be so important cross-culturally because they are important to survival (self-feeding leads to growth and independence) and communication.
