人文科学研究所公開研究会開催のお知らせ（「視覚と認知の発達」チーム）

講　 師：    Andrew　Bremner 氏 (バーミンガム大学准教授)

テーマ：  　The origins of body representations in perception and
           　　action in human infancy

要　 旨：   　We still know relatively little about how human infants and children come to

　　　　　　perceive their own bodies and the relationship between external events and the body.

　　　　　　In the first part of this talk I will report on recent findings from my lab pertaining

　　　　　　to how infants and young children come to be able to process the multisensory 　　

　　　　　　relationships which specify their own bodies and an embodied environment. I will focus

　　　　　　particularly on the representation of touch on the body surface in in external space, as

　　　　　　well the layout of the body in external space. I will then go on to describe another

　　　　　　programme of research investigating the development of an ability to tailor movements of

　　　　　　the body to achieve specific goals in external space. These latter studies demonstrate

　　　　　　developmental trajectories in human infancy whereby the movements subserving purposeful

　　　　　　actions become more specialised.
