When several people move at the same rhythm, they often feel synchrony. Synchronized movement is considered as a result of the social integration.The main purpose of this study was to investigate the modulating process of the movement speed in the dyad non-verbal communication. We made the experiments utilizing the forearm rotation task, the finger-tapping task, and the pat-a-cake task (hand clapping movement between two people), moreover we observed kindergarten children who played with blocks.During dyad communication, depending on the situation, both people will try to adjust the movement speed of the other person. Under this complementary relationship, the new dyad rhythm is gradually formed.
