Action Observation and Synchronization

1. Two typologies of wandering behavior, "continuous" and "sporadic" can be distinguished when time-in-motion is used as a criteria. 2. Interventions for "continuous wanderers" should emphasize modification of the environment while organized activities and verbal communication techniques should be stressed for the "sporadic wanderer." 3. Empirical research is needed that studies the different needs of wanderers based on the percentage of time spent in motion.
