| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The problems of “Classroom disorder” and declining academic performance that have been pointed out in education are related not only to the effects of children's cognitive functions (attention and inhibition), learning ability, and social abilities, but also to social interactions in daily life, such as parent-child relationships. It has been reported that those social interactions in daily life affect cognitive functions and social abilities by regulating the function of endocrine systems such as oxytocin in vivo, but there are still controversial.
Therefore, we will clarify the effects of social interactions such as parent-child relationships from early childhood on children's cognitive functions and social abilities by combining methods such as cognitive psychological surveys, questionnaire surveys, brain function imaging tests, and endocrine tests in saliva.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
認知機能検査、MRIを用いた脳機能や構造、唾液中オキシトシン濃度の計測を行うことで、親子関係などの社会的環境要因が、子どもの認知能力にどのように関与していることを明らかにする研究である。その際に、生活環境・認知機能・脳機能・生理機能の関係性を行動心理学・脳科学・生化学的指標との関連にて解明する。幼児を対象として、これらの多面的なアプローチにより、メカニズムの解明を行う点が重要かつ独創的な研究である。時期的な問題で、計画通りの研究を行うことができなかったが、予備的な調査を含め、実験遂行のための基礎的なデータを収集し、子どもの行動と環境要因、生理学的要因との関係を調査できた。
