VARIETIES IN TIME OF ACTION DUE TO THE ALTERNATION OF PROGRAM OF MOTION WITHIN CENTRAL NERVE SYSTEM

Abstract

The motions are manifested by the built-in motion programing within the central nerve system. It was investigated by means of a simple keypushing motion on what variations in the motions would be developed by alterations in the programing. The key-pushing motion consists in pushing two or four keys in designated orders according to the photic stimulation, and the reaction time and motion time in this case were determined. The key-pushing was performed in accordance with the 4 types of programing.
The results were as indicated hereunder.
1) The motion time was shorter when the number of keys to be pushed is less in comparison with the larger number of the keys.
2) The variations in the programing within the central nerve system are more influential upon the initial stage of the motion, i. e. the pushing procedures of the first and the second keys.
3) The delays in the reaction time were more remarkable in children in any programing than in the adults. The errorneous key-pushing motion was more frequently noted in the action to push the first key.
