| Research Abstract |
The present study aimed to examine the cultural difference in drawing movements between Japanese and German participants. The participants, who were right handed preschoolers and university students from both cultural groups, were asked to draw a circle, a triangle and so on by one stroke. The results showed that there was no cultural difference among preschoolers but significant cultural difference among universiLy students. IL was thought that these results reflected the influence of writing habit on Ole development of drawing movement in the dominant hand.
