| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the effect of temperature environment as environmental context on facial recognition and facial expression recognition. At first, we showed that the presence of specific conceptual association between "warm - cold" and facial expressions. We also showed that temperature environment affect recognition of ambiguous emotional expression. Furthermore, the effect of the temperature on the recognition of emotional expression was modulated by season. In contrast, we did not find clear effect of temperature environment on face memory.
