| Research Abstract |
The interaction between development of voluntary locomotion such as creeping or crawling and that of visual motion perception, which contribute to control locomotor actions, was investigated with several experiments.
We first exploratory examined the relation between the voluntary locomotion and visual motion perception with 106 infants aged from 5 to 12 month-olds. We found that there was significant difference between the visual motion perception between the locomotor and non locomotor infants. We also examined infants visual perception and locomotor ability every month longitudinally by the same experimental procedures with the first experiment. The results indicated that significant developmental changes in motion perception were observed one month before the onset of the voluntary locomotor actions.
