Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

Documentations were acquired without any delay. Data for analyses at Western University were prepared, including data from examinations and behavioral assessments. Additionally, priority was given to preparing necessary documents and contacting the relevant personnel at Western University to arrange entry and a one-year stay in Canada.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

Databases accessible to Western University will be utilized for analysis and correlation with data obtained from Fukui University. Consequently, for the upcoming academic year, priority will be given to analyzing data from Fukui University to obtain preliminary results. Additionally, data from the Western University database will be analyzed to identify potential correlations, despite the differences in population demographics and heterogeneity.
