Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the internal phase correction mechanisms for timing control in a synchronization tapping task. Here, the synchronization error (SE) is directly controlled using our experimental method, and its response is measured as the temporal development of the inter tap onset interval (ITI). As a result, two types of internal phase correction mechanism are revealed. The first type shows a strong negative correlation between SE change and ITI change, suggesting a simple negative feedback mechanism. The second one does not show this correlation and disappears under the dual task condition. These results suggest that there are two types of timing control mechanism in the phase correction of tapping task.
