Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a cognitive-science based e-learning system for identifying archaeological artifacts. Eight naïve university students and six experienced students (major in archaeology) and 1 archaeologist participated, and they were asked to rate the typicality of a pottery presented in computer monitor. Each of them gradually made a stable rating pattern, and they kept the pattern until 2 months later. Furthermore, thus evaluating task made a promoting effect on memory after observation.
