| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Previous studies have examined the effects of different pictures of tools on manipulation, and methods of presenting different pictures of tools on Action RT before initiating imitation activities. However, the effects of holding a tool in hand on imitation have not been directly examined to date. Therefore, adult participants of an experiment were requested to imitate the action of grasping a cup placed in front of them with their hand or imitate the action of grasping the cup with a tool held in their hand after watching an action picture. The results indicated that Action RT between presenting an action picture and performing an imitation was shorter when holding a tool in hand compared to when not holding a tool. There were no differences in Action RT when the effector was shown as a hand and when the effector was shown as a tool.
