Abstract(in English) In this study, we measured reaching movements to visual targets to evaluate children with learning disabilities (LD). In this experiment, the visual feedback was altered, because the cursor that represented the subject's hand position was rotated. We measured in ramp condition where the rotated angle increased gradually, and in step condition where it increased stepwise. After 10 trials training, the error angle between the direction in which the subject had started to reach and that of the target decreased. In ramp condition, the gradient of adaptive line was 2.02 in children with LD, and 2.64 in children without LD. The result suggested that adaptation occurred more slowly in children with LD than in children without LD.
