Research on visual illusions in different animal species as compared to human beings is fruitful to know the adaptive significance of the illusory phenomena. Comparative studies on visual illusions suggest the precedence of global features in adult human visual perception and the precedence of local features in non-human animal visual perception. Similar results are also reported by a developmental study (Doherty, Campbell, Tsuji, & Philips, 2010), suggesting the precedence of local features in human child visual perception. The importance of the comparative work on visual illusions in two perspectives (cross-species and developmental) is discussed.

Big time-series data have been generated in various applications including sensor networks, financial systems, online documents, medical information, web access records, social networking services, etc. How can we efficiently and effectively find typical patterns? How can we statistically summarize all the sequences, and achieve a meaningful segmentation? What are the major tools for forecasting and outlier detection? This paper summarizes our recent work, which includes: SpikeM that analyzes the rise and fall patterns of influence propagation in social networking services, TriMine for fast mining and forecasting of complex time-stamped events, AutoPlait for automatic mining of co-evolving multidimensional time sequences, EcoWeb as ecology-inspired nonlinear dynamical systems for pattern extraction from online activities, FUNNEL for automatic mining of spatially co-evolving epidemics, CompCube for non-linear mining of competing local activities, and RegimeCast for real-time forecasting of data streams.

In this study, we investigated the influence of visual information on the food preference of toddlers. Forty 2- to 3-year-old toddlers participated in two tasks: a naming task and a preference task. We prepared photographs of vegetables and fruits and then made line drawings of the photographs. We selected high and low familiarity foods based on wholesale quantity orders for the last six years. At first, we presented the high and low familiarity food images side by side. Participants were asked to choose a favorite one and say the name of the food. Results showed that the effect of the naming task on preference was different between vegetables and fruits. The visual information of color and texture might be important factors for a food's visual preference.

Since the advent of functional magnetic resonance imaging cognitive science has experienced a turn towards neuroscience. Models of perceptual and cognitive functions can now be tested against patterns of human brain activity in anatomically well-defined regions of interest. Structural and functional connectivity analyses can inform us about how different brain regions are interconnected and interact in perceptual and cognitive tasks, as well as during resting states. In this study I review the results of a series of experiments that aimed to reveal the visual-vestibular sensory processing underlying self-motion perception. We (Frank, Baumann, Mattingley, & Greenlee, 2014; Frank, Wirth, & Greenlee, 2016) localized regions in the posterior insula using fMRI with visual and vestibular stimuli. The results suggest that two areas in this part of the brain are involved in self-motion perception: the parieto-insular vestibular cortex (PIVC) for the processing of vestibular information and posterior insular cortex (PIC) for the integration of visual and vestibular information. The results suggest that these two regions play different roles in the integration of visual and vestibular cues related to self-motion perception.

The Noh Mask Test measures social skill ability. Noh Mask image stimuli of this test were compared with Human face photos stimuli by Matsumoto & Ekman, Face Drawings. A multi-dimensional scaling analysis of the comparative judgments of the healthy subjects for these three stimuli revealed a two-dimensional solution involving pleasure and arousal. The reaction of Face Drawings located on X and Y axis. Although face stimuli of human lacks the first quadrant, Noh mask image to draw a smooth oval, covering all of the quadrants. Representing subtle look, Noh Mask Test was considered to expose the feelings of continuity. The test was compared with Rorschach Test and MMPI, also performed test–retest method. Schizophrenia in outpatient day care performed Noh Mask Test, and they were studied after 4 years later. The Noh Mask score of employed after 4 years later was more similar to healthy employee than unemployed patients. It was found that Noh Mask Test is a test for examining the social skills.

Semantic dementia (SD) is a neurodegenerative disorder featured selective loss of semantic memory associated with a focal atrophy of the anterior temporal lobes. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features of SD and to propose a coping method as a care for the patients with SD. Difficulties in naming and recognition of words with surface dyslexia on kanji-word reading [gogi-aphasia] are the most prominent symptoms in the patient with the left-dominant temporal lobe atrophy, while misidentification of familiar persons [prosopagnosia] and/or misunderstanding of visual objects [associative agnosia] is the characteristic of the patient with the right-dominant temporal lobe atrophy. Either symptom, however, rather appeared common in almost every SD patient from longitudinal perspectives of progressive amodal semantic impairment. Then the persistent stereotypies at an early stage of the disease turned into prominent and huge destructive behavior and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Quality associated way of care for patients with SD, early exposure to daily cognitive skill training utilizing preserved abilities and stepwise application to the care-services is essential.

In science education, it is crucial to create teaching materials that are directly linked to students' individual experiences. On “The Japanese Psychonomic Society Committee for Developing Teaching Materials for High School Students,” using computer graphics technology, we developed a visualization system called “Face Homunculus Viewer” (FHV) that provides an opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between brains and minds. Additionally, we conducted a workshop on human touch perception using FHV. In the workshop, we defined the two-point discrimination threshold of touch as “tactile acuity,” and students measured their tactile acuity with the methods used in psychological experiments. Our contributions are the development of an interactive system for visualizing differences in tactile acuities between bodily sites within each individual and differences between individuals. We believe that this study will indicate a new direction in science education in which computer graphics can be applied.

Virtual-reality research aims to create substantially identical percepts and experiences of the real world for human users by presenting artificial sensory inputs. I describe technical topics in recent virtual reality studies as of 2014, and especially focused on physically and psychologically critical components of reality, various modality-specific displays and apparatus, position and action sensors, and development software. While these technologies are progressing on going, relatively standard and general technology and products are selected in the paper. Perceptual psychology and psychonomic sciences give an evolution to the virtual-reality research, and virtual reality studies promote investigation of reality in perceptual psychology and psychonomic sciences.

We surveyed the number and the contents of papers published in the Japanese Journal of Psychonomic Society, as well as the society's annual meetings, from 1982 to 2012. Over the course of these 30 years, we found that papers on perception increased in the first decade, followed by an increase in cognitive research, which reflected the shift of the members. Although the time of year and format of the annual meetings were not fixed, a review of the roster showed that greater participation was seen when the meetings were held in fall or winter and/or if they were joint meetings with other societies. The results would contribute to a better management of the society.

When a person synchronizes finger tapping with an isochronous stimulus like a metronome, taps often precede stimuli by 100 ms or less. This phenomenon is called negative mean asynchrony (NMA). Two experiments were conducted to examine whether NMA is generated by the underestimation of inter-onset intervals (IOIs), and to examine the relation between NMA and beat-based timing. In Experiment 1, estimations of empty intervals were compared with those of filled intervals in duration and tempo tasks. Durations of empty intervals were estimated to be shorter than those of filled intervals. On the other hand, estimated tempos were the same for both empty and filled intervals. In Experiment 2, the synchronized finger-taps were compared between empty and filled intervals. NMA was observed in all conditions, but the synchronized error was greater for empty intervals than for filled intervals. These results showed that perceiving IOIs as shorter advanced the timing of taps but was not an essential factor causing taps to precede stimuli. It is considered that beat-based timing is not the cause of NMA.

When conducting experimental psychology, psychological phenomena are often described in mathematical terms and logic. How practical is the mathematical approach in experimental psychology? This paper aims to explain plain linguistic and mathematical expressions, how psychological phenomena are expressed mathematically in experimental psychology and how mathematical models are constructed, using examples of psychological phenomena related to sensation, perception, and cognition. First, it outlined the perspective, thinking, and utilization of mathematical models in experimental psychology, using some psychological phenomena. Second, it was introduced that several previous studies dealt with spatial properties of perceptual and cognitive phenomena, including the author’s studies. It is hoped that this paper will increase familiarity with and opportunities to utilize mathematical models in experimental psychology.

There has always been a close relationship between social psychology and cognitive psychology. In this article, I review research on implicit attitudes in social psychology, focusing on the measures inspired by theories and methodologies from cognitive psychology. I also discuss the theoretical influence of cognitive approach on the studies about attitudes and attitude change. Finally, I discuss the associative-propositional evaluation (APE) model, an integrative perspective on attitude change.

A number of studies on mechanism of an illusory contour and related experiments are reviewed. The critical evaluation suggests that no theory may be adequate which assumes the only one process for perception of the illusory contour. Even the multi-process-theory is not adequate as far as it assumes the illusory contour as a mere result of other processes such as depth-processing and brigntness contrast. Rather, we suggest that the illusory contour itself influences depth-perception and brightness enhancement.

Psychologists may think that positive reinforcement is already a well-known process and that studies on reinforcement are outdated. These beliefs are counterfactual in that behavioral researchers have not agreed on the exact articulation of the function of reinforcement. Historically, an articulation proposed by choice researchers was dominant: reinforcement determines the allocation of different behaviors, which is the manifestation of the relative strength of those behaviors. However, recent studies on the dynamics of choice revealed that the allocation could be determined not by the strengthening effect but by the signaling effect of reinforcement. Further, a study using a reinforcement-omission procedure with a fixed-interval schedule in a choice situation revealed that the presentation of a reinforcer had two simultaneous opposite effects on the short-term and long-term allocations of behaviors. These studies suggest that the repetition of reinforcement inevitably assigns signaling functions to reinforcing events, and therefore, reinforcement as a procedure has multiple effects on behavior. Behavioral studies clarifying these and other functions of reinforcement will provide an important basis for physiological and computational studies on reinforcement.

People are generally unable to correctly determine the fixation point from the gaze direction when facing another person. This study investigated this tendency from the viewpoint of the anisotropy of space. Experiment 1 showed that compared with the physical space, the gaze perceptional space was 1.227 times larger laterally and 0.516 times narrower sagittally, suggesting that the gaze perceptional space has an orthotropic property. Furthermore, this space had an anisotropic property in the oblique direction. In Experiment 2, the space was constructed from the verbal cues of distance and angle, with the same size as the physical space in Experiment 1. Compared with the physical space, the space constructed from the verbal cues was 0.866 times larger laterally and 0.783 times narrower sagittally. These results show that the gaze perceptional space differs from the space constructed by verbal cues in terms of the degree of anisotropy. They also suggest that gaze direction was not judged on the basis of quantitative verbal representation concerning distance and angle.

Although online research has shown promise as an alternative to laboratory research, it is unsuitable for the mere exposure effect because it is unknown whether participants sufficiently pay attention to repeated stimuli. To overcome this problem, we developed an online research method using exposure frequency in everyday life, which was combined with a cross-cultural comparison to consider the effect of confounding factors. Participants familiar and unfamiliar (Japanese and English speakers) with kana characters evaluated their attractiveness. After standardizing the attractiveness for each participant, we calculated the mean of each character’s view for each type of speaker to calculate a character-based correlation. The result of the Japanese speakers showed a moderate positive correlation between attractiveness and log-transformed exposure frequency to the characters counted by a Japanese corpus, indicating an occurrence of the mere exposure effect. This result cannot be explained by such confounding factors as the visual aspects of the characters due to a non-significant correlation in the English speakers. This study provided a more appropriate way to study the mere exposure effect in online environments.

In the late 1990s, the American Psychological Association advocated improved statistical practices, including reporting confidence intervals (CIs) and effect sizes. Since this statistical reform, the numbers of reports in international academic journals of psychology which have included the CI and effect sizes have increased. We investigated the evidence for statistical reform in Japan by examining papers published from 1982 to 2008 in the Japanese Journal of Psychonomic Science. The reports which included CIs and effect sizes were extremely rare in the journal even after 2001. This observation suggests that this statistical reform has not yet started among Japanese researchers in psychology.
