| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Differential Pavlovian conditioning was used to measure visual perception objectively. Non-retinotopic tilt aftereffects, which is difficult to observe due to the weak effect, could be observed by using eyeblink conditioning. This suggests that the sensitivity of measurement with conditioning is relatively high. In addition, eyeblink conditioning was used for several face discrimination tasks which need different perceptual processing. It was demonstrated that difference between these perceptual processing of faces could be observed by manipulating SOA between the visual stimulus and the air-puff in eyeblink conditioning. These results suggest that differential Pavlovian conditioning is useful to measure visual perception.
