common objects used in
everyday life, three types
were selected from among
those originally classified by
Schlesinger (10). These, appearing
in Figure 13, are
palmar, tip, and lateral prehension,
respectively. The
frequency with which each of
these types occurred in the
investigation cited is given in
Table 6. While the relative
percentages differ in the two
types of action, the order of
frequency with which the
prehension patterns occurred
is the same.
