Table 2
The movement sequences presented in Experiment .
Movement type
Description
Arms discrete + legs discrete
Left foot tapped on beat 1 followed by Toque de Palmas of the arms on beats 2, 3, and 4; right foot tapped on beat 5 followed by Toque de Palmas of the arms on beats 6, 7, and 8.
Arms discrete + legs continuous
The hands clapped on beats 1, 2, and 3 and 5, 6, and 7, with the arms moving from the right to the left diagonal. In parallel, the legs made a continuous movement as in Experiment .
Arms continuous + legs discrete
The left arm performed Braceo while the legs performed Marcaje, both covering 8 beats.
Arms continuous + legs continuous
The right arm performed Braceo from beats 1 to 4 while the right foot carried out a circular movement, and then the pattern was repeated with the left arm and the left foot from beats 5 to 8.
