Research Abstract |
There had been much research on perceptual and cognitive process of everyday events or everyday objects. However, recently these areas have attracted considerable attention. In this Grant-in Aid for Co-operative Research, we have done integrative research, organizing four groups: perceptual, cognitive, comparative and developmental groups. The outcome of each group is as follows: (1) The perceptual group studied perception of biological and real objects in dynamic situations. (2) The cognitive group focused on cognition of letters, sentences, facial expression and others as research targets. The group examined priming effects, the testimony of witnesses of human subjects and cars, and quantitative study of emotion interpreted from facial expression, using the computer simulation method. (3) The comparative group compared cognition of everyday events processed by animals ( apes and pigeons) with that of human. (4) The development group examined development of cognitive functions, employing causal inference, generation of random numbers, dementia scales and other cognitive tasks. The ages of the subjects ranged from 4 to 99 years old. This research was conducted from many approaches; therefore, it is hoped that the outcome of the research will contribute further understanding of cognitive process of every events.
