Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to clarify that relationship between observation of others’ movements and the control of self-movements. Two experiments were conducted to examine the following: 1) whether observer could distinguish variations in others’ movements during torque generation, which relates to movement generation; and 2) whether observing others’ coordinating movements affects the control of self-movements. With respect to 1), the time taken to observe the changes in the pitching motion identified by the observer and the timing of the torque generation was almost the same time. These results showed that the observer could identify changes in others’ movements during self-movement generation. With respect to 2), the results of both experiments were almost the same; one subject jumped 4 times such that his jump height was 50% of his/her maximum height, and 4 subjects jumped once after observing the previous jump movement such that their jump height was 50% of their maximum height.
