Analysis of Thought Process in Learning Juggling -In Case of 3-ball Cascade-

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the thought process in embodied knowledge acquisition on juggling. We planned an experiment on learning 3-ball cascade. We instructed seven beginner subjects to practice 3-ball cascade of juggling over 2 weeks. We investigated the acquisition process of embodied knowledge by awareness of issue in detail using analysis of verbal reports and video data. As the result, in order to acquire embodied knowledge, it was suggested that it is important to decompose the problem and to clarify the issue they should be conscious of.
