Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed a training support system to cultivate logical thinking skills for inferring others’ cultural backgrounds, values and/or beliefs, which contributes to building deep understanding and communication skills. It has been suggested that learners are inspired by giving a stimulation from the system, and then they can get a feeling of not ‘he is wrong’ but ‘my belief is wrong’.
