Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Learning Disabilities (LD) is the handicap, which have been defined only recently. At Present, evaluation of LD is only done subjectively by experienced doctors or therapists. Quantitative evaluation of LD has not, been established untill now. If it is possible to evaluate LD quantitatively, we can detect LD in an earlier stage and treat them more appropriately. In general LD children are not good at receiving a ball. Therefore, we consider that, compared with healthy man, LD can not make a space model appropriately in their brain using visual and auditory information, which are thought to be important for space perception. In the present study, to quantitatively evaluate LD, we investigated the characteristics of the pointing movements to the targets of (1) visual stimulation alone, (2) auditory stimulation alone, and (3) the visual with the auditory stimulation. And we compared the characteristics of the pointing movements among three subject groups, healthy men, LD children and non-LD children.
