| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Psychological experiments were conducted to examine the role of hands in visual selective attention. First, Posner's classical cueing paradigm was used to assess how strongly hand images attract attention. It was found that hands had no attentional advantage over other object (e.g., flowers), which was an unexpected result. In addition, IOR (inhibition of return) was examined. Second, eye-tracking experiments were conducted to examine the attentional shifts during free observations of natural scene images containing human figure. Results showed that i) observers looked at hands just after faces, and ii) hands interacting with other objects were looked at more often and quickly than non-interacting hands. The relationships with other objects (faces, tools, etc.) would be critical to understand the role of hands in attention, scene perception, and person perception.
