| Research Abstract |
Visual context, such as a spatial relationship of the objects is thought as one of the important factors to control our behavior. This study examined whether physical activity levels influence the occurrence of implicit learning of visual context. The results showed that learning of visual context occurred only in the high active group. However, there was no difference in efficiencies of attentional control between the high and the low active groups. These results suggest a possibility that the occurrence of implicit learning of visual context is affected by physical activity level, and regular physical activity would have a benefit to use the learned context information.
