| Outline of Research at the Start |
The objective of this research project is to make a meaningful contribution to enhancing the effectiveness of cognitive interventions for individuals of different age groups who are facing challenges with neurodegenerative cognitive function.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We developed several behavioral methods to measure indices of higher cognitive functions related to the integration of visual information and movement in humans. One such method involves measuring responses to visual verbal cues, which help prepare appropriate movements within a short timeframe. We identified effective verbal cues that complement cognitive factors in fall prevention and evaluated their use in mixed reality technology. Additionally, we measured multiple priming effects and assessed their impact on the visuomotor coupling. The evaluation results revealed the importance of both explicit object shape judgments and non-explicit recognition of object orientations during visually cued movements. Furthermore, it was suggested that the higher cognitive functions play a crucial role in cognitive control during instantaneous body movements.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
We developed several behavioral methods to measure higher cognitive function indices involved in the integration mechanism of visual information and movement in humans, and conducted experiments with young adults.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
We will increase the number of participants to enhance the study's accuracy. Additionally, we intend to investigate how higher cognitive functions related to the integration of visual information and movement evolve and decline across different life stages.
