| Research Abstract |
How could we explain the mechanism by which young children's rhythmic co-ordination would be integrated into cognitive and verbal self-regulation in socio-affective interaction? The present study is intended to provide a theoretical framework to analyze the bridging phases from socio-emotional to socio-cognitive development and planned three experimental studies to analyze the developmental processes in which young children's rhythmic motor coordination would be integrated into cognitive and verbal self-regulation. In the first experiment, we compared the verbal functions in terms of vocal sound or rhythm and semantic meaning in verbal-motor coordination task. Secondary, we manipulated the variation of rhythmic structure (alternation , inversion, cycle) in sesori-motor task (drumming and jumping) and cognitive task (checker board and canning). And finally we focused the emotionally promoted activity in synchronizing and maintaining behavioral and cognitive coordination in playing and dancing to music song in adult-child vs child-child interaction. Main rusults were as follows. (1) Semantic meaning of verbalization always contributed to the improvement of verbal and motor coordiantion, and only rhythmic sounds of verbalization were insufficient. (2) Children's rhythmic regulation was better in cognitive task than sensori-motor task. (3) Children's emotionaly based experience could activate their subjective and independent motor action in accord with other partners in dancing and playing to music task. These results were discussed in terms of development of cognitive-and emotional-rhythms, rhythmicity in body and mind, emotonal fuction in cognitive regulation, and developmental characteristics of difference between chil-child and adult-child interactions.
