- Refereed, Japanese Journal of Biofeedback Research, Japanese Society of Biofeedback Research, Process of modulating speed between individuals who initiate at different speeds, NARUSE Kumi, We investigated the process of modulating speed by comparing two subject groups who chose different speeds. Sixteen female subjects were asked to perform a continuous forearm rotation movement task at their individually chosen speed, after which they were divided equally into two groups based on their chosen rotation speed (Fast-Preferred Pace group, FPP; Slow-Preferred Pace group, SPP). Eight pairs were then randomly chosen from the groups and matching speed was investigated. We found that the matching speed was faster than the initiated speed in the SPP group and slower than that initiated in the FPP group. During the matching period, rotation speed tended to increase and the coefficients of variations for rotation speed were similar. Thus, we concluded that determination of movement speed and the coefficients of variations for that speed may be a sensitive means to measure synchronization. After the matching period, the rotation speed of the SPP subjects was faster than their original initiated speed. These results suggest that fast movement speed may have a greater influence than slow movement speed., 2010, 37, 1, 37, 44, 10.20595/jjbf.37.1_37

While viewing footage of a child playing, the students underwent ECG measurement and their reactions to the child's altering mood were monitored. Their autonomic nervous activity was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) with spectral analysis and coefficient of variation (CV_
). Students' feelings toward the child in the video were assessed by multiple mood scale (MMS), and then child's feelings are assumed by the students. The results of MMS suggested that they felt "astonished" by the videotape of a child reacting with astonishment or "pleased" when they observed a child's pleasure. The CV_ were significantly increased while they were observing a child's astonishment. This study confirmed that for the students observing, their own moods were altered psychophysiologically to the same degree as that of the child in the video., 2009, 36, 1, 23, 32, 10.20595/jjbf.36.1_33 - Not Refereed, 2008, 10, 117, 127

- Refereed, Japanese Journal of Physiological Anthropology, Japan Society of Physiological Anthropology, EFFECT OF DIFFERENT MOVEMENT PACES ON MOOD STATES, NARUSE Kumi, The purpose of this study was to classify the various words that are associated with pace, from the viewpoint on how humans feel when they imagine themselves at each pace. Seventeen words that express different pace were classified into four subscales by factor analysis, they were 1) negative fast, 2) positive fast, 3) positive slow and 4) negative slow. To confirm whether the difference between the paces can reflect on real movement, 142 female university students were asked to draw a single circle inside individual 1-cm squares printed on an A4 size sheet of paper at the requested pace with 1minute time limit. On completion of the task, they were asked to evaluate their feelings at the requested pace. The significant difference was obtained for the number of circles. The evaluated positive feelings were significantly lower in the fast negative in compared to the positive fast condition and positive slow condition. This result indicates that different movement paces produce different feelings, depending on what pace is chosen., 2005, 10, 4, 25, 32, 10.20718/jjpa.10.4_161

- Not Refereed, PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR SKILLS, PERCEPTUAL MOTOR SKILLS, Relationships between mood state, time estimation, and selected movement speed, K Naruse, We investigated whether different aspects of mood state influence sense of time estimation and movement speed. Mood states were measured on the Multiple Mood Scale for 142 female undergraduate students, who were then asked to estimate the interval of time elapsed between the words "start" and "stop" spoken by a tester. Next, the same subjects were told to draw circles inside 1-cm squares printed on an A4 size sheet of paper in succession at their freely elected comfortable speed. Scores on Concentration (r=-.22, p<.01) and Being Startled (r=-.26, p<.01) each correlated significantly and negatively with time estimation, while scores on Boredom (r=.17, p<.05) had a significant positive correlation with movement speed. These results suggest that different aspects of mood state have some association with time estimation and selected movement speed. Values account for small common variance., Oct. 2004, 99, 2, 618, 620, Scientific journal
- Not Refereed, PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR SKILLS, PERCEPTUAL MOTOR SKILLS, Effect of slow movement execution on cognitive function, K Naruse; H Sakuma; T Hirai, We investigated the effect of slow paced movement on cognitive function. The task movement was a dual-task performance composed of a continuous forearm rotation for the right hand and a simple reaction task for the left hand. Exp. 1 was designed to compare reaction time during performance at a slow pace to that at medium pace by 14 female undergraduate students. The mean reaction time for the left hand under the Slow Pace was significantly longer than that under the Middle Pace condition (p<.05), which showed that the subjects were required to give more attention to right-hand performance at the slow pace as it was difficult. Exp. 2 examined changes in reaction time when using the left hand that were associated with the learning of a slow paced task while using the right hand. Twenty-three female undergraduate students participated and repeated the task 6 times. The 3 sec. prior to and the 3 sec. after each auditory stimulus were used to establish rotation speed and mean coefficients of variation. The mean coefficients of variation, evaluated as within-subject variability, showed a significantly positive correlation with reaction time at Trials I and 6 for prestimulus and Trials 5 and 6 for poststimulus. Over successive trials participants continued performing the primary forearm task at a constant slow pace before and after receiving auditory stimuli, and this progress was related to a decrease in reaction time. Further, the sense of concentration evaluated by the subjects poststimulus was significantly higher than that prestimulus (p<.01). Performance at a constant speed, which was much slower than the ordinary or preferred speed of each subject, may have had a strong effect on their ability to remain conscious of movement execution., Feb. 2004, 98, 1, 35, 43, Scientific journal

- Not Refereed, PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR SKILLS, PERCEPTUAL MOTOR SKILLS, Slow movement execution in event-related potentials (P300), K Naruse; H Sakuma; T Hirai, We examined whether slow movement execution has an effect on cognitive and information processing by measuring the P300 component. 8 subjects performed a continuous slow forearm rotational movement using 2 task speeds, Slow (a 30-50% decrease from the subject's Preferred speed) and Very Slow (a 60-80% decrease). The mean coefficient of variation for rotation speed under Very Slow was higher than that under Slow, showing that the subjects found it difficult to perform the Very Slow task smoothly. The EEG score of alpha-1 (8-10 Hz) under Slow Condition was increased significantly more than under the Preferred Condition; however, the increase under Very Slow was small when compared with Preferred. After performing the task, P300 latency under Very Slow increased significantly as compared to that at pretask, Further, P300 amplitude decreased under both speed conditions when compared to that at pretask, and a significant decrease,vas seen under the Slow Condition at Fz, whereas the decrease under the Very Slow Condition was small. These differences indicated that a more complicated neural composition and an increase in subjects' attention might have been involved when the task was performed under the Very Slow Condition. We concluded that slow movement execution may have an influence on cognitive function and may depend on the percentage of decrease from the Preferred speed of the individual., Feb. 2002, 94, 1, 251, 258, Scientific journal
- Not Refereed, PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR SKILLS, PERCEPTUAL MOTOR SKILLS, Properties of internal speed control and psychophysiological response during continuous forearm rotation movement, K Naruse, This study investigated the properties of speed control and psychophysiological response when subjects changed movement speed internally. The task consisted of a continuous forearm rotational movement, which 14 women performed under 3 conditions, namely, ( I) Preferred: the Subject performed the task at a freely selected speed, (2) Slow: the subject changed the speed in two steps from preferred to a slower pace (slow, then very slow), (3) Fast: the subject changed the speed in two steps from preferred to a faster pace (fast, then very fast). Rotation speed and the coefficient of variation were measured to evaluate within-subject variability. Under the Preferred condition, there were no significant differences in rotation speed or coefficient of variation during the trials. However, under Slow and Fast conditions, the standard variation scores and coefficient of variation indicated different tendencies, Under the Fast condition, although the standard variation increased with the faster speed, the coefficient of variation decreased. On the other hand, the coefficient of variation increased under the Slow condition. Preferred speed had a significant positive relationship to the slow, very slow, fast, and very fast speeds. Heart rate (R-R interval) and EEG spectral intensity measurements showed no significant changes among the three conditions; however, respiration frequency significantly increased during Fast as compared to Preferred and Slow conditions, These results suggest that a preferred speed for continuous movement exists and that it is closely related to internal speed control as a psychological criterion. Furthermore, different movement speeds may reflect different psychophysiological responses., Oct. 2001, 93, 2, 387, 396, Scientific journal
- Not Refereed, Japanese Journal of Physiological Anthropology, Japan Society of Physiological Anthropology, RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PREFERRED SPEED AND RESTING FRONTAL EEG ASYMMETRY AND P300 COMPONENT, NARUSE Kumi, The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preferred speed and the resting frontal EEG asymmetry of alpha-1 (8-l0Hz) and alpha-2 (10-13Hz), P300 amplitude and latency, as well as mood states (liveliness, well being, and concentration). The task consisted of a continuous forearm rotational movement, which 18 female subjects performed. The frontal EEG asymmetry of alpha-1 had a significant positive correlation with self-selected preferred speed (r=0.5, p< .05). This result suggests that frontal neural activity may have an influence on the selection of preferred speed, while greater relative left frontal activation is associated with the selection of faster speed., 2001, 6, 4, 27, 32, 10.20718/jjpa.6.4_27

- Not Refereed, PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR SKILLS, PERCEPTUAL MOTOR SKILLS, Effects of slow tempo exercise on respiration, heart rate, and mood state, K Naruse; T Hirai, The purpose of this study was to investigate psychophysiologic responses to slow movement tempo exercise in three experiments. Exps. 1 and 2 were designed to compare slow with preferred movement tempos chosen freely by the subjects. The task movements in Exp. 1 were repetitive Arm Swinging, Stepping, and Body Swaying, performed by 14 female undergraduate students, while in Exp. 2, Body Swaying and Arm Winding were performed by 10 female undergraduate students and 13 boys and girls junior high school students. Respiration, heart rate, and scores on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were measured. Analysis showed respiration rates were lower during slow tempo conditions than preferred conditions. Exp. 3 was designed to compare very slow with slow movement tempos, using a Tai Chi-type of movement performed by 6 female undergraduate students. The subjects were required to synchronize the task movement with auditory stimuli, during which respiration and heart rate were measured, and a UWIST Mood-Adjective Checklist was utilized. Under the very slow movement conditions, Energetic Arousal scores were lower than those for the slow movement and the variation of respiration between rest and task conditions corresponded inversely with the Tense Arousal scores. Together, our results suggest that slow tempo exercise does not increase physiological or psychological arousal., Dec. 2000, 91, 3, 729, 740, Scientific journal

1年生は「文字」の正答数が手足部位刺激より有意に多いが,2~4年生は「文字」と「手背」「足甲」の表面部位との差がなかった.手部位の正答数は全学年で「手背」が「手掌」よりも有意に多く,足部位は4年生のみ「足甲」が「足裏」より有意に多かった.3年生の「手掌」に男女差がみられ,男子の正答数が有意に多かった.手足部位のMRは当該部位を客体化した空間的・視覚的な処理と,自身の身体感覚に基づく処理があり,視覚的経験の少ない部位に対する後者の処理は3年生から4年生の時期に始まると考えられる., kaken - Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 01 Apr. 2016 - 31 Mar. 2019, 16K04362, Research on self-regulation and attentional function in the process of synchronization of physical communication, Naruse Kumi, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 3900000, 3000000, 900000, Physical communication includes touch and imitation. Therefore, it has different characteristics from verbal communication. In physical communication, there are aspects of output that express one's own movements and aspects of acceptance that accept others' movements. Entrainment is a situation in which these aspects circulate smoothly between the other and the self. This study collected and analyzed the synchronization process by experiment and field work. (1) We extracted three factors related to excessive consciousness, and analyzed the relationship between anxiety and attention / interpersonal style. (2) The speed tuning process was visualized using the forearm rotation task. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between personal adjustment and communication skills. (3) We observed the free play of kindergarten children and analyzed the synchronization process from rhythm and space use. These results suggest the nature of self-regulation in physical communication., kaken
- Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2011 - 2013, 23500799, The process of synchronized movement during non-verbal communication in group as clinical application, NARUSE KUMI, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 5330000, 4100000, 1230000, Synchronized movement is considered as a result of the social integration. We often feel synchrony when we move at the same rhythm, the same posture or the same space. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the complementary relationship and the modulating process of the movement in the dyad non-verbal communication and in the polyad non-verbal communication. We made the experiments utilizing the finger-tapping task and improvised dance task. Moreover we observed the several activity, such as, the chattering of the university student, the out-door cooking of the primary schoolchildren, and the group moving of the kindergarten children., kaken

Synchronized movement is considered as a result of the social integration.The main purpose of this study was to investigate the modulating process of the movement speed in the dyad non-verbal communication. We made the experiments utilizing the forearm rotation task, the finger-tapping task, and the pat-a-cake task (hand clapping movement between two people), moreover we observed kindergarten children who played with blocks.During dyad communication, depending on the situation, both people will try to adjust the movement speed of the other person. Under this complementary relationship, the new dyad rhythm is gradually formed., kaken
- Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2004 - 2005, 16500462, Effect of pace adjustment with others on respiration, heart rate, and mood state, NARUSE Kumi, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 1900000, 1900000, When individuals perform voluntary movements, they choose a spontaneously appropriate pace that is known as "preferred pace". Several investigations have reported that intra-individual consistency and inter-individual differences in preferred pace. In everyday life we sometimes perform the mutual adjustment with others, which is assumed to be one of the essential forms of the physical communications. In this case, we are forced to adjust our own comfortable pace to those of others. The purpose of this study was to investigate psychophysiologic responses during the pace adjustment.
In chapter 1, the usefulness of the study for human communication along with issues concerning self-selected pace are noted. In chapter 2, the various the words that are associated to slow and fast were classified, from the viewpoint on how humans feel when they imagine under those paces. We pointed out that different movement paces associate with different feelings. In chapter 3, psychophysiological responses to slow movement execution are discussed. We pointed out that breath control may be required in order to adjust each individuals' preferred pace slow interval stimulus, and influence on their mood state negatively since these are difficult performances. In chapter 4, the communication process through body expression in the case of group work session was analyzed. The results suggest that the third participant may be a key person who helps to understand an image easily for another person participated in the same play. In chapter 5, two experiments were designed to put the pace adjustment skill for practical use., kaken - 奨励研究(A), 1997 - 1998, 09780105, 他者の身体への注視行動に関する実験的研究-発達的および文化的側面からの検討-, 成瀬 九美, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 樟蔭女子短期大学, 2100000, 2100000, 運動の習得過程では、鏡やビデオを利用して、習得した動作の自己修正を行う場合がある。付加的なフィードバックは、それまでの主観的な観察から客観的な観察への移行をもたらすものと考えられるが、本年度の研究は、ビデオによる付加的で非言語的なフィードバックが運動修正に及ぼす影響を検討することを目的とした。被験者は21才から22才までの大学生女子6名、課題動作は舞楽作品の一連の動作で、所要時間は26.5秒だった。女性が示範する様子をビデオに収録して呈示し、これを繰り返し遂行することによって習得した動作と、ビデオフィードバック後の修正動作のそれぞれに対して動作分析を行い、比較した。
修正された動作に見られた特性は以下の通りである。
1. 習得時の遂行時間は示範に近似し、修正時に示範より短縮した。
2. 上肢フォルムは下肢よりも詳細に修正される傾向にあった。
本実験の結果から、ビデオによるフィードバックは動作の時間的要素や空間的要素の部分的な修正に効果的といえるが、一カ所のフォルムを修正することが他のフォルムの誤再生を生じさせた例などの、負の効果も指摘された。, kaken
