A video game task was devised to evaluate this ability, and about eight hundred and forty healthy individuals from younger children to the old people participated in the study. Response times and numbers of correct responses for each participant of each age group confirmed that imaginary body movement continued to develop until adulthood, it remained robust in normal aging, and information processing functions other than imagination of body movement was accelerated between 6- and 13-year old groups. These results were applied to the trial of rehabilitation for apoplexy sequelae.
