Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, I investigated which stage of the object recognition process was affected by attentional inhibition. I created the optimized experimental paradigm to assess the attentional inhibition, and evaluated the effects on local feature detection, encoding in working memory. Also, I examined the the effects in situations similar to real-life situations. The result suggested that the cost by attentional inhibition is more likely to occur in situations where perceptual interference occurs, and that feedback processes from higher-order processing, such as encoding in working memory, may be deficient.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は注意が向いていない状態での物体認識プロセスの特性を定量的に評価した点である。これにより視覚情報処理が注意による修飾を受けずにどのように行われるかを検討するための知見を蓄積することができた。社会的意義は,非注意位置でのパフォーマンスの低下がどのような方法で向上するかの検討につながる可能性があり,最終的には利便性が高く操作エラーの少ないユーザーインターフェースの開発の一助となる点である。
