| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mechanisms of timing adjustment to a target by children were investigated and the possibility of applying the findings to children’s exercise settings was examined. The results indicated the following: (1) If the velocity of a target to be acquired is shown before starting the task, young children turn their head toward the interception point when performing the task, (2) If the change of the target velocity is uncertain, young children turn their head towards the target, which is different from adults. (3) As an application, children tend to be more affected by the stimulus when blinking at an inducing stimulus ahead of the target. These results are expected result in a better understanding of children’s physical systems and lead to the development of exercise support measures concerning timing abilities.
