Differential effects of hand and mouth gesture training on L2 English pronunciation
Human communication inherently integrates speech and gesture. Acquiring second language (L2) pronunciation, encompassing both segmental (e.g., vowels) and suprasegmental features (e.g., rhythm, fluency), remains a major challenge. This study investigated how two types of gesture training—manual (hand gesture training) versus articulatory (mouth gesture training)—influence these features in Japanese EFL learners. Forty university students particip…
Faster key-press responses to front vowels than back vowels when matching heard vowels with represented vowels
This study investigated key-press responses to five spoken Japanese vowels: [ɑ], [i], [ɯ], [e], and [o]. In the first experiment, 30 participants pushed only a single key when they listened to spoken Japanese vowels (response task). In the second experiment, another 29 participants matched the heard vowels with represented vowels by pushing one of five corresponding keys (matching task). The results of the first experiment showed no difference in…
Quantification in shooting precision for preferred and non-preferred foot in college soccer players using the 95% equal confidence ellipse
Shooting precision is a fundamental characteristic in soccer, yet the probabilistic structure and magnitude of precision in soccer shooting remain quantitatively unexplored. This study aimed to quantify shooting precision using measures derived from the bivariate normal distribution for both preferred and non-preferred feet. Sixteen right-footed collegiate soccer players participated by performing instep kicks aiming at targets which are placed c…
Shape of an obstacle affects the mediolateral trajectory of the lower limb during the crossing process
In previous studies involving obstacle crossing, vertical foot clearance has been used as an indicator of the risk of contact. Under normal circumstances, individuals do not always cross over obstacles with the same height on both sides, and depending on the shape of the obstacle, the risk of contact may differ depending on the foot elevation position. Therefore, we investigated whether task-related control of the mediolateral foot position is ad…
Dynamic stability during level walking and obstacle crossing in children aged 2–5 years estimated by marker-less motion capture
In the present study, dynamic stability during level walking and obstacle crossing in typically developing children aged 2–5 years ( n = 13) and healthy young adults ( n = 19) was investigated. The participants were asked to walk along unobstructed and obstructed walkways. The height of the obstacle was set at 10% of the leg length. Gait motion was captured by three RGB cameras. 2D body landmarks were estimated using OpenPose, a marker-less motio…
