Abstract
Development of space-time characteristics of children's motor responses to auditory rhythmic stimuli was studied 20 Ss were randomly selected from each of six groupings representing ages 6 to 11 yr. Utilizing a rhythmic analysis system, Ss performed 16 consecutive motor responses in time with auditory rhythmic stimuli presented at intervals of 1.4 sec., 1.1 sec., and .8 sec. Findings indicated a significant reduction of error in spatial and temporal accuracy with increasing age for each tempo. However, the tempo main effect was not significant, and no level of tempo interacted with any specific level of age. Results are discussed in relation to the influence of personal rhythm upon Ss' responses to externally imposed tempos.
