| Research Abstract |
Visual motion sensitivity during forward/backward locomotion was investigated. Results indicated that the visual motion sensitivity was lower under the condition that the relation between the direction of locomotion and that of a visual motion pattern was in a natural state than under the condition that the relation between them was unnatural. We also examined whether there is a systematic relationship between development of locomotor ability and that of sensitivities to various visual motion patterns in infancy. We found that difference between sensitivities to distinct visual motion patterns tended to be remarkable after the emergence of valid locomotor ability in the first year of life. These results suggest that there is a suppressive interaction between the locomotor ability and visual motion perception which may be acquired through daily experiences after birth.
