| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, I investigated the effect of causality on the perceptual and cognitive processes. For the purpose, I conducted various types of psychological experiments such as on the depth perception, temporal order judgement, and synchronicity. The results of these experiments indicate that the causality affects these perceptual processes. Furthermore, the results from introspection and the additional tasks conducted after telling the participants the possible causality revealed that there might be different processes about causality; one is a process in which a causality is automatically detected and affects other perceptual processes and the other is a process in which a meaning of causality is inferred. These results supports the existence of direct perception of causality which was proposed by previous researchers.
