| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study investigated the relationship between changes in the feeling of body ownership and action imitation ability. To manipulate the experience of body ownership, which is the knowledge that parts of our body belong to us, we used the rubber hand illusion paradigm. For measuring action imitation ability, we used simple elbow movement and 3-ball cascade juggling. The strength of the illusion was significantly correlated with the action imitation ability. This suggested that changes in the feeling of body ownership would be involved with imitative behaviors.
