| Research Abstract |
Social interactions have various effects on children's cognitive development. For studies purposing to clarify mechanisms of children's knowledge and social skills acquisition, it's important to describe processes of social interaction in detail. Because of some methodological problems, most of previous studies have never described those processes sufficently. In this study, we proposed a way to analyze children's social interaction focussing on not only coordinated physical actions in the collective tracing task but also verbal communications and visible motions. First, in a case study that was presented to explain how the interaction process was analyzed, we found some cues to clarify how mechanism existed in the social interaction process. It was implicated that children interacted with peer by coordinated actions constantly in addition to verbal communications and their speech fulfillled those functions to control those actions. Second, in experimental studies, it was found that children formed coordinated relation with each other in controlling their rhythms or timing of motions. Finally, in observational study, it was implicated that children interacted with peers thorough their coordinated actions in everyday situations.
