| Abstract |
Daily music experience involves synchronizing movements in time with a perceived periodic beat. Contrary to the auditory-specific view of beat synchronization, synchronization to a visual beat composed of a periodically bouncing ball has been shown to be not less stable than synchronization to auditory beats. The ecological relevance of periodically moving visual stimuli is considered to be essential for such synchronization improvement. However, multiple factors could be associated with the ecological relevance and the relative contributions of the ecological factors to the synchronization improvement remain unclear. The present study investigated whether ecological factors other than a proposed critical factor, i.e., the speed characteristic, are required to account for the synchronization improvement of the bouncing ball. A periodically contracting ring that had the same speed characteristic as the periodically bouncing ball but lacked other possible ecological factors of the ball was designed. The results showed that synchronization was more stable for the bouncing ball than for the contracting ring, and this stability difference was larger in the difficult 300-ms than in the comfortable 600-ms inter-beat interval tapping condition. The finding suggests that ecological factors other than the speed characteristic are required to explain the synchronization improvement of periodically moving visual stimuli, particularly in difficult tapping conditions. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 July 2018.
All research outputs
#15,011,732
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#16,359
of 30,473 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#197,944
of 329,174 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#514
of 720 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 30,473 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.5. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,174 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 720 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
