大多数关于知觉运动发育的研究都集中在婴儿期和蹒跚学步阶段的变化。在这篇论文中，我们描述了我们在儿童后期和青春期早期的知觉-运动发展方面的工作，背景是一个重要的应用问题：骑自行车穿过交通拥挤的道路。具体地说，我们使用身临其境的交互式自行车模拟器，检查了儿童和成年人在骑自行车穿过十字路口时接受的汽车之间的差距。这项工作既突出了使用身临其境的交互式虚拟环境来研究知觉-运动功能的方法学进步，也突出了在理解自我相对于其他移动物体的运动问题方面的理论进步。最后，我们对未来的研究和这项工作的实际意义提出了想法。
Most research on perceptual-motor development has focused on changes occurring during infancy and toddlerhood. In this paper, we describe our work on the development of perceptual-motor development during late childhood and early adolescence in the context of an important applied problem: bicycling across traffic-filled roads. Specifically, we have examined the gaps between cars that children and adults accept when bicycling across intersections, using an immersive, interactive bicycling simulator. This work highlights both methodological advances in using immersive, interactive virtual environments to study perceptual-motor functioning as well as theoretical advances in understanding the problem of moving the self in relation to other moving objects. We conclude with ideas for future research and practical implications of this work.
