    People feel uncomfortable when someone else comes spatially near and thus encroaches on their personal space (PS). Although many social psychologists have explored characteristics of PS of/between/among individuals so far, there is currently no empirical research on whether the PS of individuals expands into space surrounding their belongings (or objects) that are away from their body. This study measured the spatial distance between bags which participants and confederates left behind, and thus demonstrated that the distance between bags was modulated in response to the interpersonal relationship of their owners. The present study suggests new evidence for expansive PS, which is the concept that an individual's PS expands into space surrounding his/her belongings.

    Previous studies have found a negative correlation between subjective hunger aroused by direct olfactory and gustatory stimulus and altruistic behavior. However, the influence of activation of food representation on altruistic behavior by mere recollection of food without any direct stimuli still remained in question. This study aimed to examine how the degree of subjective hunger by mere recollection of food affects participants’ altruistic behavior. 63 participants were allocated one of three conditions where they were made to feel hunger by recollecting a specific food to describe in detail: noodle for strong condition; pudding for weak condition; and control condition with no recollection task. After the priming task, participants were asked how much they would be willing to help another experiment. A result showed that the participants in the noodle condition were significantly more reluctant to help compared to the other two conditions. The result is explained using conceptual metaphor theory.

    Williams syndrome (WS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder by a hemizygous deletion in chromosome 7. WS is relatively preserved in the processing of faces and often shows ASD characteristics. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between clinical characteristics and face memories in WS. We employed 18 WS (mean age: 25.2) and 16 children with typical development (TD) (mean age: 6.5), who performed tasks of face memory and approachability to the faces. ASD characteristics in all participants was assessed by SRS, which was scored by their parents. WS participants were divided into high (WS-H) and low (WS-L) groups by levels of language development. WS-H and TD showed a significant enhancement of memories for low and high approachable faces but not WS-L. In addition, WS-L showed significantly higher SRS scores than TD. These findings suggest that variances of verbal development could be associated with face memory and ASD characteristics in WS.

    People often try to conceal their emotions and present a different expression. However, we can discriminate deceptive faces from genuine faces. We investigated how we use spatial frequency components to understand deceptive faces. In this study, participants were asked to generate deceptive smile, deceptive anger, genuine smile, and genuine anger images by tuning the intensity of a smiling and angry expression. The intensity could be changed from +10 (the most smiling) to -10 (the most anger). The low and high spatial frequency (LSF and HSF) components of the images could also be varied independently. The results demonstrated that a deceptive smile consisted of a neutral expression in LSF and a low intensity smile in HSF. These results suggest that we can understand deceptive smile faces by using the unbalanced intensities of emotional expression between LSF and HSF.

    Previous studies showed that meat is associated with masculinity and men’s attractiveness for women. We examined whether heterosexual people would perceive the faces of the same sex to be more attractive after seeing or eating meat. Seventy-three participants were randomly assigned to a meat or a vegetable group, and rated the pictures of six slides of averaged faces (a) during the baseline period, (b) after seeing meat/vegetable, and (c) after eating meat/vegetable. The results revealed that men in the meat group were likely to perceive male faces to be more attractive than the vegetable group, whether after seeing (p=.017, r=.50) or eating (p=.049, r=.41) them. Women were likely to rate female faces to be the most attractive after just seeing both meat and vegetable (ps<.026, .54<r<.81). Meat might be specifically associated with male attractiveness for men, whereas the desire for food might enhance female attractiveness for women.

    People often record some information by external memory tools, such as a digital camera, although photographing lead to poor memory of photographed information (Henkel, 2013). However, it is unclear whether photographing affect our memory except photographed information. We investigated whether photographing information enhance subsequent learning. In a photograph block, participants studied list A and then photographed them. Next, participants studied list B and then took a free-recall test for list B. Finally, participants re-learned list A item by watching the photograph and then took the free-recall test for list A. In a control block was the same as the photograph block except that photographing and re-learning were omitted. Our results showed that memory performance of list B in the photograph block was higher than that in the control block both when proactive interference was low and high. Thus, we suggest that photographing can enhance subsequent learning.

    The purpuse of study this study was to identify hte factors of folging image creation. Usually, we fold a square paper. A tiangular paper is veru novel. The influence of paper shape to the way folding was revealed. To fold a triangular paper , we must apply folding skills of a square paper. The analysis of process of folding a triangular paper give us the suggestions of the factors of mechanism of folding.

    We investigated how online vision affects kinematics properties of reach-to-grasp movements in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), compared to typically developing (TD) peers. Participants, wearing liquid crystal shutter goggles, reached for and grasped a cylinder and lifted it around 5 cm. Two visual conditions were tested: Full vision (FV) condition (the goggles remained transparent during the movement) and no vision (NV) condition (the goggles closed 0 ms after movement initiation). The two visual conditions were alternated with each trial in one experimental session (Alternated condition), or each condition was blocked in the session (Blocked condition). The ASD participants showed larger peak grip aperture difference between NV and FV conditions in the Blocked condition than the Alternated one, which was similar to the TDs’ grip configuration. The ASD also showed larger temporal difference between grasp end and lifting initiation in the Blocked condition, suggesting difficulties in organizing action chain.

    This study examined young children’s information-seeking behavior for illness/injury by (1) identifying primary informants and (2) determining whether children’s evaluations of trusted informants change as they acquire domain knowledge of the illness. Study 1a, 1b, and 1c showed that 3- and 4-year-old children preferred mothers, teachers, and doctors, rather than other children or stuffed animals. When the task was about a rare animal’s illness, they preferred zookeepers, suggesting that children were discerning. In Study 2a and 2b, 4-, 7-, and 10-year-old children and adults were asked to indicate their preference of informants about contagious and non-contagious illnesses, and injuries between mothers, doctors, adult, and stuffed animals. The 4-year-olds always preferred mothers, while the 7- and 10-year-olds preferred doctors. Adults’ evaluations differed by type of illness and injury (Study 2b).
