    This is a synopsis of the lecture addressed at the 9-th annual convention of our association at University of Tsukuba in 1991. As entitled, the concept of structure of F. H. Allport was expounded, which he developed as a unifying principle of perception in his book Theories of perception and the concept of structure (Wiley, 1955). The book was considered being of high value as an overall review of and criticism on theories of perception in the first half of this century. Because of Allport being a social psychologist, his concept of structure inevitably extended to the outstructural tangencies with social contexts, its psychophysiological implication was particularly emphasized, though, in this address.

    The present study examined the property of muscle (musculus abductor digiti minimi manus) control without external feedback, and compared it with the results of the magnitude production task. We developed the V test, in it subjects control their muscular tension with the movement of a target on a computer screen. Subjects accomplished three tasks the magnitude production with a 30s inter-stimulus interval, and the same task with a 3s inter-stimulus interval, and the V test. The results of magnitude production supported the previous studies. The results of the V test showed that in the decrease phase the results of all subjects fitted to the exponential curves. However, in the increase phase the data did not fit well, and no specific patterns appeared. We ascribed to the property of muscle control, and discussed the relationship to the physiological mechanism.

    This study explored the state-dependency hypothesis of conditioned responses on the sleep stages. Subjects were divided into 2 groups (group A and B). Standard response values were measured on the Ist night. A week later (2nd night) differential conditioning was run in stage 2 for group A while in stage 3+4 for group B. A week after 2nd night (the 3rd night) conditioning effects were measured as the response discrepancy between the 1st and 3rd nights. Using the finger plethysmograph (FP), heart rate (HR) and EEG K-complex (KC) as measures, the subjects' responses to the conditioned stumuli in stage 2 for group A and in stage 3+4 for group B were scored. FP and HR were found to respond to the differential conditioning. Group A subjects conditioned during stage 2 retained their responsiveness in the same stage. Group B subjects conditioned in stage 3+4 retained their responsiveness not only in stage 3+4 but also in stage 2. The hypothesis of sleep stage-dependency of the conditioning responses wes supported in the group A, but not in the group B.
