    [Abstract] The purpose of the present study is to examine whether working memory capacities are intrinsically domain-specific for different modalities (visuospatial and verbal information). In previous studies, this question was addressed by assessing the correlation between the performance in visuospatial and verbal working memory tasks. However, both were measured separately. In the present study, to assess the costs in the multitask situation, participants were required to employ both multiple object tracking (visuospatial working memory task) and listening span test (verbal working memory task) concurrently when attentional resources for these tasks were almost equal. The results showed that the performance of listening span test decreased as a function of verbal working memory load, while verbal working memory load had little influence on the performance of multiple object tracking. These results are consistent with the notion of domain-specific capacities in working memory, suggesting an importance of the role of central executive control in working memory system.専攻: 認知心理学

    Visual context, such as a spatial relationship between the locations of a particular target object and the other distractor objects, is learned with repeated presentations of the same spatial layout, and facilitates searching for or detecting the target object. This context learning is referred to as contextual cueing. Previous studies have demonstrated that learned context involved the association target location with individual locations of distractors (nonconfigural learning) and the association target location with the overall distractor configuration (configural learning) in visual search and change detection tasks respectively, indicating that the content of context learning was task specific. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the content of context learning relied on participants' attentional control setting during performing change detection task. The results showed that nonconfigural learning tended to occur even in change detection task when it was necessary for detecting the target effectively to direct spatial attention to individual distractors, suggesting the possibility that the aspect of context learning is dependent on participants' attentional setting.専攻: 認知心理学

    Major earthquakes were followed by a large number of aftershocks and significant outbreaks of dizziness occurred over a large area. However it is unclear why major earthquake causes dizziness. We conducted an intergroup trial on equilibrium dysfunction and psychological states associated with equilibrium dysfunction in individuals exposed to repetitive aftershocks versus those who were rarely exposed. Greater equilibrium dysfunction was observed in the aftershock-exposed group under conditions without visual compensation. Equilibrium dysfunction in the aftershock-exposed group appears to have arisen from disturbance of the inner ear, as well as individual vulnerability to state anxiety enhanced by repetitive exposure to aftershocks. We indicate potential effects of autonomic stress on equilibrium function after major earthquake. Our findings may contribute to risk management of psychological and physical health after major earthquakes with aftershocks, and allow development of a new empirical approach to disaster care after such events.

    Three experiments used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to examine brain activation in the frontal cortex during comprehending and reporting the contents of a story. In Experiment 1, the participants were asked to view humorous comic strip stories under the following two conditions: comprehending and reporting the contents after the experiment (report condition), and not reporting the contents (non-report condition). The changes of Oxy-Hb concentration in the left prefrontal region were higher in the report condition than in the non-report condition. In Experiments 2A and 2B the participants were asked to arrange sets of cards, according to either story development or shape complexity, without reporting the content of the story. The changes of Oxy-Hb concentration in the left and right prefrontal regions were higher for card arrangements related to story development than for those related to shape complexity. When articulatory suppression was used, activation in part of the left prefrontal region was reduced. The anterior portion of the left inferior frontal gyrus (around BA47) was consistently activated when participants actively tried to understand content, regardless of the type of task and memory load. We suggest a new objective method, using NIRS, with which to measure the brain activity associated with trying to understand content.

    Visual context, such as an association between a target location and a abstractor configuration, has been shown to be implicitly learned through repeated experiences in a visual search task, and facilitates the search performance (contextual cueing effect). In the present study, we examined whether the whole layout or only the local half-layout contributed to contextual cueing. In a training session, the whole layout or the local half-layout including the target location was repeated. Then in a test session, half of the layout including the target location was presented while the remaining half of the layout was randomly changed. The results showed that the search performance in the repeated whole layout condition was equivalent to the condition where only half of the layout was repeated throughout both the training and the test sessions. This suggests that the local layout around the target location was selectively learned and used for contextual cueing even if the whole layout was repeated.

    A near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) study was conducted during which participants carried out tactile recognition of unfamiliar objects. A previous functional brain-imaging study reported activation of the right parietal lobe under tactile recognition of familiar objects using only the right hand (Reed et al., 2005). In this study, we intended to extend the previous finding to tactile recognition of unfamiliar objects with the left hand, as well as with the right hand. Hemodynamic activation of brains of eight healthy young participants was compared between tasks involving recognition of objects made by LEGO bricks and palpation of them, allowing to eliminate the effect of similar motor and sensory stimulation. Compared to nonsense object palpation, the most prominent activation evoked by tactile object recognition was in bilateral parietal lobe, irrespective of the hand used for the task. This suggested contribution of bilateral parietal lobule on tactile recognition for unfamiliar objects.

    For inefficient search, target detection is faster for repeated than for regenerated layouts. This effect, called contextual cuing, was assumed to arise from implicit learning of local spatial relationships between targets and distractors. However, a more global influence from distractors far from the target has not been tested. In this study, the search field was divided into upper and lower halves containing a repeated and a regenerated configuration set, respectively. The positions of the two sets were or were not exchanged, meaning that their relative as well as their absolute positions were the same or different (Experiment 1). In Experiment 2, the repeated set appeared alone in either the same or the other half of the screen (same or different absolute position). The contextual cuing effect remained when only absolute position was changed, but not when both absolute and relative positions were changed. These results suggest that contextual cuing depends on relative positional information.

    To conduct an efficient visual search, visual attention must be guided to a target appropriately. Previous studies have suggested that attention can be quickly guided to a target when the spatial configurations of search objects or the object identities have been repeated. This phenomenon is termed contextual cuing. In this study, we investigated the effect of learning spatial configurations, object identities, and a combination of both configurations and identities on visual search. The results indicated that participants could learn the contexts of spatial configurations, but not of object identities, even when both configurations and identities were completely correlated (Experiment 1). On the other hand, when only object identities were repeated, an effect of identity learning could be observed (Experiment 2). Furthermore, an additive effect of configuration learning and identity learning was observed when, in some trials, each context was the relevant cue for predicting the target (Experiment 3). Participants could learn only the context that was associated with target location (Experiment 4). These findings indicate that when multiple contexts are redundant, contextual learning occurs selectively, depending on the predictability of the target location.

    For conducting efficient visual search, it is important to inhibit spatial attention from reorienting to previously examined distractors. Several studies have proposed that this inhibition can be associated with object-based inhibition of return (IOR). The present study examined whether the spread of IOR across an object's surface affects the performance of visual search or not. If the spread of IOR occurs in visual search, unexamined targets and distractors linked with the previously attended items would be inhibited. We found that the spread of object-based IOR results in the increases of error rates in the target present trials and the decreases of reaction times in the target absent trials. These results indicate that participants made "absent" responses before examining all items if object-based IOR spread over unconfirmed items. We discuss the function of object-based IOR in visual search and also deal with how visual search is terminated.

    Previous studies of pattern psychophysics have suggested that a form property such as the number of turns and a structural property such as symmetry were useful cues for perceptual judgments of simple forms. However, it is necessary for complete descriptions of more complex forms to use hierarchical indices reflecting global and local characteristics. In this study, we clarified what geometrical properties contributed to complexity and similarity judgments of novel shapes, and examined differences between the two judgments, using Fourier descriptors as a form property, and symmetropy as a structural property. Global and local unevenness were derived from the amplitude of Fourier descriptors, and the hierarchical representation was found in both judgment data. Whereas complexity judgment was based on local unevenness and global symmetry, similarity judgment was, it was suggested, mainly based on global unevenness and symmetry. Moreover, it became clear that geometrical properties important for complexity data were a subset of those for similarity data. These results suggested that more dimensions in geometrical properties were necessary for similarity judgment than complexity judgment.

    We examined the effect of relation between interferences from distractor and inhibitory mechanism on the occurrence of negative priming, by using a matching paradigm. The ease of perceptual target selection was determined by magnitudes of interference. Stereoscopic depth was used to manipulate the relative position of a target, a distractor and a standard figure. When the ease of perceptual target selection was manipulated by separation of the target from the distractor in depth, positive priming occurred. However, the ease of target selection turned out to be unnecessary in the occurrence of priming effects. When the distractor and the standard figure were displayed at the same depth plane, where the distractor was supposed to interfere with the encoding of a standard figure, negative priming occurred consistently regardless of the ease of perceptual target selection. This study suggests that inhibitory mechanism contributes to the suppression of inappropriate processes by distractor, and inhibitory mechanism actively keeps distract ors from interfering with standard figures.

    The massive earthquake on Japan 2011 was followed by a huge numbers of aftershocks, in even suburbs of Tokyo which is more than 350 kilometers away from epicenter of the earthquake. We conducted an intergroup trial on equilibrium dysfunctions and effects of psychological aftermaths on equilibrium dysfunctions in survivors who exposed versus rarely-exposed repetitive aftershocks. Here we show greater equilibrium dysfunctions in aftershock-exposed survivors without visual compensations. We also show that the equilibrium dysfunction in aftershocks-exposed survivors seems to be a consequence of the disturbance of inner ear, and related to the individual vulnerability to the state anxiety enhanced by the repetitive-exposure of aftershocks per se. Our findings might contribute to risk managements of the massive earthquake for mental and physical health in general, and hold potentialities for a new empirical approach for disaster care against a mega earthquake with aftershocks.

    Technical report of IEICE. HIP  2004/07 
    In an inefficient search, the search for a target becomes faster with a repeated configuration when compared with a newly generated configuration. This facilitatory effect is termed contextual cueing, and suggests that an association between a target location and a distractor configuration is encoded in memory and this association can be used as a cue in visual search. In this study, we examined the effects of selective attention to search items and retrieval cues of the context information on visual search. The results showed that contextual cueing was observed only when the configuration of the attended items was fixed. However, the facilitatory effect was observed regardless of attention to the search items when the place folder was presented as a cue before the presentation of the search array. These results suggest that selective attention affects the immediate use of the context, but not the use of the context itself.
