Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focused on unconscious eye movements that occur in response to visual stimuli, and explored their potential application in content design. There were two types of experiments were conducted: examine the basic characteristics of eye movements in response to visual stimuli, and to verify the possibility of application.
As a result, it was confirmed that eye movements are likely to occur in response to stimuli in the peripheral visual field. On the other hand, regarding stimuli presented in the central visual field condition, various types of stimuli were tested, but it demonstrated only that there were multiple pathways for participants' gazes to reach the target stimulus. Furthermore, it was limited but the results of the memory task suggest the potential applicability of unconscious eye movements in content design.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究によって得られた成果は、学術的には、無意識的に生じる視線の移動について、その基本的な特性に関する知見を提供した点で意義があると言えよう。社会的には、短期的な学習効果への検討のみであるが、コンテンツ内における効果的な情報提示手法として、有効で有る可能性を提示できたという点で意義があると考えられる。今後、視線の移動と視覚的な注意の性質との関係性の解明や、応用可能性に関する検討の種類の拡充などにより、更なる発展があると考えられる。
