| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the development of gaze patterns in response to radial optic flow, one of the main visual cues for locomotor control, among children 0-12 years of age and adults. Results showed that adults tended to look more frequently around the focus than the periphery of a radial flow pattern, whereas infants aged < 1-2 years tended to look more frequently around the periphery than the focus of a radial flow pattern. Although the adult-like asymmetrical gaze pattern (looking more frequently around the focus than the periphery of a radial flow) was observed in those 5-6 years of age, the mean looking time at the focus of a radial flow reached adult levels only after 11-12 years of age. The results imply that visuo-locomotor interaction develops in a protracted manner until the later stage of childhood.
