| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we first analyze the eye movement patterns and motor functioning during handwriting for students with developmental disabilities, and typically developing students and adults by using an eye-tracker. Our results showed that students with developmental disabilities showed longer fixation duration and greater number of fixation during copying task than motor coordination skill matched typically developing adults.
We also examine whether observing or copying the segment by sequential stimulus presentation is effective for our participants to improve their writing skills and develop their eye movement patterns and motor functioning. Our results showed that students with writing difficulties acquired Kanji writing skills via observing sequentially presented parts of Kanji stimuli. In other copying task, students with developmental disabilities improved their percentages of fixated during sentence copying task through copying sequentially presented segments.
