While accurate environmental impact assessment of wind farm is required due to frequent landscape disputes, current assessment criteria do not discuss the viewpoint that wind turbines are rotating structures. In this study, we conducted five experiments to examine visual search and instantaneous vision using both simple and landscape models from the viewpoint of attentional capture caused by the motion of rotating turbines of wind power plant, were conducted. The results indicated differences in gazing behavior between the case when the windmill was stationary and when it was rotating. This suggests that visual attention is captured by the dynamic conspicuity.

This study elucidates the impact of COVID-19 on factors constraining leisure. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 500 university students concerning factors that restrict leisure （e.g., anxiety about stay, trip planning burden, absence of companions/self, lack of time, and lack of money）. Thereafter, an exploratory factor analysis was performed to see if the factor structure changed before and after the pandemic. A confirmatory factor analysis was also conducted to check the validity of the factor structure. The results showed that the leisure constraints before the COVID-19 outbreak had a three-factor structure comprising “anxiety about stay,” “interpersonal constraints,” and “lack of money,” whereas those hindering tourism after the pandemic had a four-factor structure consisting of “travel anxiety,” “trip planning burden,” “infection anxiety,” and “lack of time.” These findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the structure of the constraint factors. Furthermore, multigroup analyses targeting gender revealed that the factor structure was common between men and women both before and after the pandemic. However, differences were found between men and women in path coefficients between some factors and related questionnaire items, suggesting gender differences in perceptions of some constraint factors.

In this study, we surveyed fourth, fifth, and sixth grade elementary school students to determine (1) the frequency of their contact with the media, including manga; (2) their experiences reading manga, including frequency; and (3) their awareness and attitudes about manga. Results showed a lower frequency of reading manga in comparison with a previous survey conducted in 1990. Many elementary school children have a positive attitude regarding manga, despite the significant changes in the media environment. Our categorical factor analysis regarding awareness of manga revealed four factors for consideration: (1) the usefulness of manga, (2) the understanding of manga, (3) the negative impact of manga, and (4) the superiority of manga. Correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to assess associations between subscale scores and how children read manga. The results showed that its perceived usefulness influences children’s experiences reading manga.

While it has been claimed that retrieval practice (RP) is much more advantageous than other learning strategies, the effects of RP on the re-studying phase are still not well understood. In the present eye-tracking experiment, participants in the Non-RP (NRP) group simply read the text twice. On the other hand, the RP group read the text twice with a free-recall task between the first and the second reading. The results showed that while the NRP group showed significantly less reading time, fewer fixations, and less fixation duration in the second reading than in the first reading, the RP group showed the same reading time, fixation count, and fixation duration in the second reading as in the first reading. These findings suggest that RP modulates the cognitive processes in the second reading and this function may facilitate memory consolidation.

Japanese comics (manga) are now one of the most popular reading media among young generations. However, the cognitive mechanisms that might underlie reading comprehension of manga remain unknown. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of reading comprehension of manga with respect to the functions of working memory. In this study, 61 sixth grade readers were asked to read a manga story and then complete a comprehension test based on van Dijk & Kintsch’s (1983) model of three distinct levels of text representation: the surface form, the propositional textbase, and the situation model. The participants then completed several types of working memory tests measuring verbal short-term memory, verbal working memory, visuo-spatial short-term memory, and visuo-spatial working memory. Correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to assess the associations between each level of reading comprehension and each of the working memory capacities. The results showed that high-capacity readers for both verbal and visuo-spatial working memories showed a higher performance compared to other readers in the process of textbase comprehension, implying the involvement of integrated propositional representation of verbal and visuo-spatial information for understanding manga stories. On the other hand, verbal and visuo-spatial components of working memory were found to be separately involved in situation model processing. Based on these findings, media characteristics of manga and its potential usefulness as a learning material in language class are discussed.

This study examined the internal and external validity of the Japanese version of the Thinking Styles Inventory (TSI: Hiruma, 2000), which was originally developed by Sternberg and Wagner (1991) based on the framework of Sternberg's (1988) theory of mental self-government. The term "thinking style" refers to the concept that individuals differ in how they organize, direct, and manage their own thinking activities. We administered the Japanese version of the TSI to Japanese participants (N = 655: Age range 20—84 years). The results of item analysis, reliability analysis, and factor analysis were consistent with the general ideas of the theory. In addition, there were significant relationships between certain thinking styles and 3 participant characteristics: age, gender, and working arrangement. Furthermore, some thinking styles were positively correlated with social skill. Implications of these results for the nature of Japanese thinking styles are discussed.

<p>Do network diagrams that are entirely irrelevant to a task, drive local and global processing? Two types of diagrams, （1） Convergent diagrams having a core in the center with elements converging at the core, and （2） Divergent diagrams having no core with multiple elements diverging at random were investigated to test the following hypotheses： Task-irrelevant convergent diagram would facilitate local processing, whereas task-irrelevant divergent diagram would facilitate global processing. In Experiment 1, positive and negative face judgment tasks and in Experiment 2, local and global letter judgment tasks, in which diagram stimuli were presented as primes were conducted. The results indicated that task-irrelevant convergent diagram significantly facilitated local processing, whereas task-irrelevant divergent diagram did not facilitate global processing. Based on these findings, efficient use of diagrams in information design is discussed.</p>

This study investigated the influence of visual motion information on perceived tactile position. In Experiment 1, tactile stimuli were presented on participants' left and right index fingers together with visual motion stimuli projected onto a semi-silvered mirror, which allowed participants to view their hands. Participants were asked to discriminate the positional relationships of tactile stimuli. Discrimination performance differed depending on the relationship between the positions of the tactile stimuli and direction of the visual stimuli. In Experiment 2, a normal mirror was used which eliminated the view of the hands and the effects observed in Experiment 1 disappeared. These results suggest that the perceived spatial position of touch is displaced in the direction of visual motion, but this effect is dependent on vision of the stimulated body part.

The study investigated the time course of attentional biases for a shop facade in each attentional engagement and disengagement by using a forced-choice reaction time (RT) version of the dot probe task. The shop facades differing in the level of affective valence and amount of displayed goods were presented as prime stimuli at two exposure durations. The results showed that attentional bias varied depending on the valence and as function of the time course in the cognitive processing of a shop facade. These findings might provide the evidence of selective attentional biases towards physical saliency of the shop facade in early attention and positive affective valence of shop facade in late attentional process.

Individual differences in impressions created by the color of cellular phones were investigated. In the study, participants were asked to evaluate the appearance of cellular phones of 16 different body colors by using the Semantic Differential (SD) method. Three-mode individual difference analysis model TUCKER 2 was used for the analysis. The results indicated that there were three types of impressions: masculine-feminine, gorgeous-staid, and evaluation. We used hierarchical cluster analysis for examining individual differences in impressions and separated the participants into three groups. Results of comparing individual evaluation structures in each group identified differences in color impression structures of cellular phones between the groups. In addition, it revealed that the color preference differences among the groups were related to some of Value-Intention Scale subscores that assess value-intending mental acts based on Spranger's classification of values.

In two experiments, the redundancy gain paradigm (Miller, 1982) was employed to examine whether redundant visual and tactile motion signals are integrated across these two modalities, and how the spatial relationship of visual and tactile signals affects cross-modal integration. A visual motion stimulus and/or a tactile motion stimulus were presented, and participants had to identify the motion direction of stimuli from each modality as quickly as possible. It is well known that faster reaction times are observed for bimodal stimuli than for unimodal stimuli; this facilitation is termed redundancy gain (RG). The present study manipulated the spatial relationship between the visual and tactile motion stimuli to assess reaction time distributions and the magnitude of the RG. Results indicate that visual and tactile motion signals are most effectively integrated when visual and tactile stimuli are presented in the same spatial location.

Impression made by the color of cellular phones was investigated. We presented pictures of an identical cellular phone with 16 different body colors to 194 observers and asked them to evaluate the appearance of the pictures by using the Semantic Differential (SD) method. The results of factor analysis indicated that there were three factors of impressions: masculine-feminine, gorgeous-staid, and evaluation. A subsequent confirmatory factor analysis supported the factorial validity of the proposed three-factor model. It also revealed that there were significant gender differences in certain factor scores and intrafactor correlations. We applied the "positioning analysis" method (Toyoda, 2001) for the SD data, and mapped the loading values for SD scales and colors on a 2 dimensional plane. Implications regarding the underlying structure of impression and its relationship with the body color of cellular phone are discussed.

The effects of package color on taste impression by appearance of plastic bottled green tea were studied. In Experiment 1, participants rated the taste impressions (sweetness, astringency, mellowness, refreshment, umami, strength, flavor, quaffableness, liking) by appearance of plastic bottled green tea with nine color packages (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, and white). It was showed that the ratings varied with color for all these taste impressions. In Experiment 2, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) procedure was used to investigate how participants evaluated their preference for colors. Three kinds of taste impressions (sweetness, strength, and quaffableness) were designed as evaluation items in AHP. The results revealed that green color made a favorable impression on all evaluation items. Cluster analysis was then applied to assess potential individual difference of the preference for taste impressions. It was shown that evaluation pattern could be classified mainly into three types (high scores on sweetness, strength, or quaffableness, respectively), and that there may be differences of the preference for colors among different types of the preference for taste impressions.

This study examined whether a letter prime presented in one modality facilitate a subsequent response to the same letter target presented in the other modality. A prime and a target were presented either in vision or touch. The task was a go/no-go task, in which subjects were required to press a key as quickly as possible if the target was either the letter L or T (go trials) and refrain from responding if the target was a 5-dot pattern (no-go trials). Results from two experiments showed facilitatory priming effects in both vision-touch (VT) and touch-vision (TV) modality pairs at both short and long target onsets. This suggests that the visuotactile crossmodal priming effects endure for a certain period of time and that tactile stimuli take time to be processed.

The present study examined distinct characteristics of kanji representations in speakers of Korean (KLs) and Chinese (CLs) who were learning Japanese. Participants in the study were, in each native language, 12 persons at each of the following levels of Japanese kanji proficiency: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Other participants in the present study were persons learning Japanese who had no previous knowledge of kanji (NKLs; 12 at a beginning level of proficiency, and 15 each at intermediate and advanced levels). Participants were asked to write as many kanji as possible in 15 minutes, and then asked about the cues they used to retrieve kanji from their memory. The results suggested that Chinese whose proficiency was advanced used more semantic cues than did Chinese whose kanji proficiency was at a beginning or intermediate level, whereas Koreans at all levels of proficiency used semantic cues. This suggests that kanji proficiency has no effect on the accessibility of the links between the conceptual representations and the related lexical representations in second-language acquisition for Koreans learning Japanese. It was also found that Koreans used kanji components that were smaller than radicals at the same rate as the participants who had no previous knowledge of kanji. These latter participants used smaller components more frequently than did Japanese speakers (N=12; Ito & Wada, 1999a). These findings suggest that both Koreans and persons with no previous knowledge of kanji pay attention to the smaller components when they are memorizing kanji.

The six attentional-style subscales of the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS, Nideffer, 1976) have been used mainly in the sport psychology area to investigate the relationship between attentional abilities and performance. This study assessed the validity of the Japanese version of the TAIS attentional-style subscales with 157 male and 163 female students. A confirmatory factor analysis failed to validate Nideffer's attentional dimension of bandwidth (narrow to broad attention) and direction (internal to external). The findings replicate previous studies which showed that the structure of the TAIS attention-related subscales is not reasonable and its factorial validity does not meet the needs of psychometrics.

We usually express the spatial location of one object in reference to the other object. The former object is called a located object, which a speaker intends to describe the spatial position. The latter is called a reference object, which is employed to describe the located object. Previous findings showed that the inherent direction of reference objects would exert some influences on the selection of frame of reference. However, those effects of located objects have been ignored. In this study, we conducted two experiments to examine the effects of the inherent direction of located objects by manipulating the inherent directions of located objects as well as those of reference objects. The results indicated that the located objects as well as reference ones affect the selection of frame of reference. From the results, it is possible to say that the selection of a reference system would be made to reduce the ambiguity of interpretations.

Two experiments were designed to examine the existence of lower versus upper visual field anisotropy in form perception based on shading and edge-based information. In the experiments, subjects were asked to judge the visual property of the stimulus defined by shading or edge. The results demonstrated that the lower visual field is specialized for the processing of shading information, whereas the upper field is specialized for the processing of edge-based information. These findings are consistent with Previc's (1990) hypothesis that the processing of optically degraded images is linked to a peripersonal visual system which is biased to the lower visual field, while an extrapersonal visual system, which is biased toward the upper visual field, is used for the processing of details of form.

As for the cognitive characteristics of latent memory and unconscious scenes, in a small-scale experiment, it was found that familiar scenes could be replayed (sketched) well, but the gazing point was scattered, and despite this, the detection of changes was quick. Expanding on this, we could not confirm the effect of less "interference" in visual information processing in the case of more commonly familiar landscapes. Therefore, in order to utilize the characteristics of quick change detection in actual landscape maintenance, we examined what kind of changes would increase the evaluation, and it became clear that changes in "appearance" factors could increase the evaluation of residential landscapes that are not necessarily highly evaluated.

Manga includes a variety of different information in panels (depicted objects, word bubbles, onomatopoeias, etc.) and hence, when reading, readers are supposed to engage in high-order cognitive abilities. Many studies have shown that individual differences in these abilities have an impact on reading behavior. Therefore, we could assume that individual variability could emerge in visual exploration of manga reading. To test this assumption, we eye-tracked participants when free reading manga and analyzed these gaze data in relation to the readers' personality traits and cognitive styles. Results showed that the eye-movement parameters observed during manga reading were stable over time and consistent among diverse materials. In addition, some eye-movement parameters were found to have significant relationships with some personality dimensions and cognitive styles, implying the possibility of identifying individual differences based on how readers move their eyes during manga reading.

Many victims occurred by the Great East Japan earthquake, and most of them became the political weak. In our research project, we examined the possibility of the e-democracy from their viewpoint. And we paid attention about e-voting to facilitate their vote participation. There is not the local government carrying out election by the e-voting system now. However, We understood that many people permitted the use of the electronic voting system from a survey of public opinion poll that we made in Fukushima. And Our questionnaire survey for the EMB (election management body) of all Japanese cities made clear that they was careful about enforcement of the e-voting. We must solve concern of the EMB on promoting the ICT use in the election.

More and more books are digitized, in Japan especially the manga. The differences of the reading between the digitized manga and the printed manga were investigated by the survey among students. One talks often about the manga reading, but one can't prove why so is. We used the method of cognitive psychology and tried to make clear, how to read the manga, for example the space perception or what one pays attention to by the manga reading.

To investigate a possible locus of multisensory integration between vision and touch, I conducted a series of studies concerning the effects of spatial attention and contextual modulation on the perception of shape information of visual and tactile inputs. The main findings were as follows : (1)The integration process might occur at a stage of object-identification prior to attentional stages of information processing. (2)Contextual effects of flankers on the target detection (i.e., detection of a central Gabor stimulus is modulated by the presence of collinear flanker stimuli) could occur in a cross-modal setting (a central visual target and tactile flankers). In sum, these findings suggest that the integration process could occur at a relatively early perceptual processing stage of perceptual grouping prior to attentional selection.

平成19年度の研究では、視覚(CRTディスプレイ上)と触覚(触覚ディスプレイ上)に、同一方向に運動する線分パタンを同時に提示して実験参加者に刺激の運動方向の弁別(どちらのモダリティに基づいて反応を行うかは問わない。このような刺激事態はredundancy-gain paradigmと呼ばれている。)を求めたところ、視覚・触覚間で運動情報の統合が生じていたことを示す知見を得ることができた。ここでの成果を受けて本年度の研究では、情報統合が生じるための制約条件をさらに詳しく検討するために、2つのモダリティの提示位置や運動情報のバリエーションといった刺激要因を操作した実験を行った。その結果、以下の点が明らかにされた。(1)視覚情報と触覚情報を空間的に同じ位置に提示した場合と異なる位置に提示した場合を比較した結果、提示位置が一致する場合には情報統合が生じるのに対して、一致しない場合には統合は生じないことが示唆された。(2)視覚運動刺激を、これまでの運動線分パタンに換えて、上下方向に全体運動するドットパタンや運動方向を表す意味刺激としての形態パタン(上下を示す三角マーク)を用いた実験を行い、情報統合が運動情報が処理される段階よりも以前に位置する位置情報の検出のレベルで生じている可能性や、あるいは運動方向が意味的に符号化される段階で生じているのかについて検討した。その結果、本実験事態における視覚・触覚間の運動情報の統合は、位置情報の検出以降から意味情報への符号化までの間の処理ステージで生じていることが示唆された。

In order to find out what is optimal strategy for the control of attention, we conducted experiments on individual differences in the voluntary control of attention. 1) One source of individual difference is aging, which is known to bring about deterioration in the various frontal lobe functions including attention. With a dual task participants searched for a probe stimulus while answering to questions heard from either left or right ear. Compared to younger people, older participants were not only slower to detect the probe but also showed increased interference from answering to questions than younger participants, especially when they had to listen to left-ear messages. 2) In the second experiment, two types of working memory capacities (both spatial and verbal working memories) were measured and they were correlated with attentional gain scores of two types of spatial cueing tasks (Le., endogenous and exogenous control). Verbal working memory capacity was found to be correlated with top-down or endogenous control of attention. However, the direction of the results was contrary to what we had expected initially Thus, high verbal working memory participants tended to show smaller attentional gain when their attention was under voluntary control 3) In attentional blink task where participants had to respond to two successive targets, a new measure of attentional focusing was explored with flanker task as the second target. In the traditional probe task reaction time is used as a measure of attentional capacity Using Hanker interference task, both reaction time (RT) to compatible condition and interference score (difference between compatible RT and incompatible RT) were available. Reaction time may be an index of spare attentional capacity while interference was regarded as an indicator of attentional concentration with higher concentration leading to lower interference. The obtained result conformed this expectation in that attentional capacity as indicated by compatible RTs was a monotonic decreasing function of the interval from TI, while attentional focusing was dynamically modulated as a function of TI interval.

本研究は、高次の知覚処理過程、潜在的短期記憶やプライミング効果といった知覚現象が関係すると考えられる注意・記憶系の表象で行われる知覚処理レベルにおいて、視覚・触覚間でのクロスモーダルリンクの作用がみられるか否かについて検討することを目的としている。本年度は、短期記憶系の処理が関与されるといわれている知覚プライミング効果を取り上げ、プライム刺激とターゲット刺激が視覚・触覚のそれぞれ異なるモダリティに提示された際に、ターゲット刺激の形態パタン弁別課題において視覚・触覚間のクロスモーダルプライミング効果がみられるかについて検討した。刺激として2種類の大きさを持つアルファベット文字型のパタン刺激を用い、プライム刺激を視覚(もしくは触覚)、ターゲット刺激を触覚(もしくは視覚)で提示した。プライミング効果の時間特性を検討するために、プライム・ターゲット間の提示時間のずれ(SOA)を200msと700msの2種類に設定した。被験者の課題は、ターゲット刺激の弁別であった。実験の結果、視覚から触覚、触覚から視覚へのいずれの場合においても、プライム刺激がターゲット刺激と同じ文字で提示された試行の反応が促進され、視覚・触覚間のクロスモーダルプライミング効果が観察された。しかし当初の予想に反して、 SOAの違いはここでのプライミング効果に影響を及ぼさなかった。また、当該試行のターゲット刺激が次試行のプライム刺激となる"ターゲット-ターゲット"手続きを用いて同様の実験を行った結果、視覚におけるポップアウトプライミングとして知られている現象と類似した履歴効果(hysteresis)が、視覚・触覚間のクロスモーダルプライミングにおいても観察されることが示された。

本研究は、視覚と触覚といった異なる感覚モダリテイ間での形態情報の統合のあり方とそこで作用するクロスモーダルリンクの機能的特性を解明するために、視覚刺激の先行提示が後続の触形態知覚の成績にいかなる影響を及ぼすかに関して心理物理学的手法を用いて検討することを目的とした。前年度の研究から、触覚刺激の形態的弁別における課題成績(反応時間や弁別感度)が、課題無関連な視覚刺激の先行提示による影響を受けて時限的に変調することが見出された。本年度はこのような視覚・触覚間クロスモーダルリンクの作用が、潜在的短期記憶や知覚プライミングが関与すると考えられている注意・記憶系の表象における形態処理レベルにおいても認められるかどうかについて検討した。実験では、"ターゲット-ターゲット手続き"パラダイムを用いて、方位(垂直/水平)とサイズ(長/短)の2つの刺激属性を持つ線分パタンを、視覚的もしくは触覚的にランダムな順序で堤示した。被験者の課題は線分パタンの方位もしくはサイズの弁別であり、従属変数として反応時間が計測された。その結果、方位・サイズ弁別課題ともに、現在の試行と過去の試行との間で刺激の課題関連属性が反復する場合の反応が、それらが反復しない場合と比べて促進される反復プライミング効果が、同一モダリティ間だけでなく異なるモダリティ間においても認められた。一方、刺激の課題無関連属性のプライミング効果に関しては、同一モダリティ間ではその効果はみられたが。異なるモダリティ間ではみられなかった。これらの知見は、視覚・触覚間のクロスモーダルリンクの作用が注意・記憶系の形態処理レベルにおいても認められることを示すものである。また、反復プライミング効果が課題関連属性の処理にのみ選択的に生じたことから、ここでのクロスモーダルリンクの作用には課題目標に応じて働く合目的な機序が関与している可能性が考えられる。
