Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a special cursor pointer as a visually guided tool to explore the difference between stimuli, and we measured the fluctuation of the body motion with an acceleration sensor during the mental rotation of young children. We found that 8-year-old children focused on the eye area and distinctive features when searching. The results of searching activities performed by the 3- to 5-year-old children indicate that confirmatory rotation appears following the perceptual reference. On the other hand, measurements of the fluctuation of the heads and hands of the 3- to 8-year-old children showed that the coordination of each body part varied according to the performance of the task, suggesting a close relationship between cognitive processing and fluctuation of body motion. In addition, we showed that spontaneous particular action plays a supporting role in cognitive processing, and the relative spatial transformation provided evidence for the involvement of self-regulation.
