Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study mainly aimed to investigate the neural basis of multimodal language processing during childhood using an eye tracking system in a prospective cohort. We made a novel task that is optimal for 4-years-old children and obtained the data from over 200 children. To appropriately interpret the results of this task, we demonstrated the relationship between the results of an eyetracker-based task and a neuropsychological test and further conducted simultaneous monitoring with eyetracker and event-related potential and found the neural correlates of information processing in adult subjects.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、アイトラッカーを用いて言語タスク時の眼球運動を、２歳、４歳に加えて、６歳でもデータ収集を完遂することができた。また利き手や神経心理検査のデータも得られており、これを合わせて解析することにより、年齢に応じたマルチモーダル言語情報処理の神経基盤が明らかになると考えられる。また、その神経基盤が異なることが予測される自閉スペクトラム症など発達障害を持つ児に、適切な言語養育環境を提供できる可能性を有している。
