Abstract(in English) A human subject threw wooden balls at a visual target while looking through a pair of wedge prism spectacles. He threw in his prism-bent gaze direction, missing the target to the side. Within 30 throws, he gradualy adapted with a wider gaze-throw angle and hit the target. Immediately after removal of the prisms the wide gaze-throw angle persisted and throws missed the target to the opposite side, the so-called 'negative after-effect'. Repeated throws were required to adapt back to the normal gaze-throw angle and hit the target. The adaptation was specific to a considerable extent both to the throws to a stationary visible target and the throws to a remembered target when the target position was fixed. Such context-specific adaptation is similar to what we found in the human saccade adaptation. The result was not consistent when the target position was shifted.
