The characteristics of velocity adjustment, in response to instruction using degree adverbs, were examinedfrom the viewpoints of image and demonstration by human hand point to point motion. It became clear from the survey that imaginative amount of velocity adjustment to the degree adverb changed with the strength that the degree adverb implied. It was experimentally verified that the amount of velocity adjustment in human hand point to point motion also changed with the strength that degree adverb implied, and that the characteristics of velocity profile in point to point motion, that is, the bell-shaped velocity pattern and the velocity peak position in the movement time, did not change with the change of degree adverb. The relationship between the imaginative amount and the demonstrated amount showed almost linear when normalized with the result of “fast”.
