- Abstract
From the perspective of the dynamic systems approach, previous studies have redefined motor development theory, and movement variability has been an essential evaluation index for analyzing motor development. Accordingly, this study investigated the characteristics of motor development in a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) focusing on movement variability. The child's jumping movements were analyzed using a longitudinal design that incorporated multiple time scales. Results indicate that the child with ASD made a total of 129 variable jumping movements during the 13 months of the study. These variable movements were seen to alternate between the stability and instability aspects. Furthermore, qualitative changes in his jumping movements occurred in response to changing task constraints, that is, - primarily, the way he cared about his own body or external constraints. These findings suggest that for children with ASD, adapting to task constraints is a critical factor for increasing movement variability and long-term motor development.
