2-A-03 距離知覚に注意配分が及ぼす影響 : 2-A-03 奥行知覚との比較(2002年度 日本基礎心理学会第21回大会優秀発表賞)

抄録

We conducted two experiments to investigate the relation between attention and perceptual processing. It is known that "distance perception" is based on egocentric processing, and that "depth perception" is based on exocentric processing. Many researchers have examined various aspects of spatial perception in 3-D space. However there are few studies about the relationships between attention and distance or depth perception. In this study we examined how attention operates when depth and distance perceptions are required. We controlled the expectancy of the location of target by using the validity of a precue. The results revealed that there is a relationship between attention and depth perception. However a relationship between attention and distance perception was not apparent. The results indicated that the allocation of attention might change according to the demands of the task.
