Outline of Final Research Achievements

To investigate developmental relationship between visual attention in space-time and cognitive development, we conducted various types of cognitive experimental tasks using both nonverbal and verbal stimuli in infants, young children, and adults. Results indicated infants' visuospatial attentional patterns toward word-speech rhythms accompanied by several types of nonverbal visual stimuli, changes during the session time in visuospatial attention to figures and objects of different conceptual levels in young children. Results also indicated visual attentional patterns in space-time depending on differences in meaningfulness, literalness, and three dimensionality of visual stimuli and on differences in presentation intervals of auditory stimuli.

認知発達

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

単一の認知能力の発達上の変化では、実態を把握しきれない発達事象が増えてきている中、成人との比較のもと、視空間的・時空間的な注意機能と乳幼児期の認知発達の関係性を調べ、その発達メカニズムを明らかにすることは、従来、単一の認知発達上の変化としてしかとらえられてこなかった現象を認知発達全般の中で位置づけることを意味し、学術的に意義がある。そのように広範囲の認知発達の中で捉え直すことにより、新たな幼少期の認知発達支援、さらには、その後の、学齢期の学習支援のあり方に示唆を与える可能性がある点で、社会的意義がある。
