| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The Visual Working Memory Tracking paradigm created in the previous year has been written up and submitted for publication at an academic journal. During the lengthy peer review process, we have added an extra analysis to this paradigm.
A study validating the paradigm by showing that performance on the task both interferes with, and is interfered by, standard working memory tasks, has been completed. Results are currently being written up, and will be presented at the Vision Sciences Society 2024.
The first experiment of the final study in this project has also been conducted, looking at how performance on the new paradigm, and not the old working memory paradigm, interferes with motor control. This experiment will be presented at the Asia Pacific Conference on Vision, held in Singapore in 2024.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Delays during the peer review process have prevented the publication of the first and most important study. However, the research itself is on track to be finished this year.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Study 1 will be modified as required by the peer review process until it is accepted.
Study 2 will be written up and submitted once Study 1 is accepted.
Study 3 will contain two more experiments. These two experiments will be conducted during the middle of the year. The study would be finished by the end of the year.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Savings were found due to extra internal funding from Waseda University, especially in travel costs. Not such funding is available at Hiroshima University, so the leftover funds will be used to cover travel in 2024
