ABSTRACT

It has been repeatedly found that rhythmic movements involving in-phase coordination are more stable than movements involving anti-phase coordination. The patterns of differential stability obtained with in-phase and anti-phase coordination are not limited to interlimb coordination (e.g., Haken, Kelso, & Bunz, 1985) but also apply to coordination involving tracking a rhythmic moving visual stimulus (Wimmers, Beek, & van Wieringen, 1992).
