JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwo experiments were conducted to explore the hemispheric specialization for the visual recognition of Kanji. In Exp. I, effects of different processing strategies were examined. Reaction times obtaind neither from physical identity matching nor phonological identity matching condition revealed any significant visual field differences. In Exp. II, hemispheric specialization for different levels of Kanji processing was investigated by those subjects who made both physical identity matching and semantic categorization matching. Results showed that RTs to the right visual field were shorter than that of the left in the semantic categorization matching, while no such significant visual field difference was revealed in the physical identity matching. Identical Kanji stimuli were used in both experiments to compare the relative strengths of the levels of processing and the effects of strategy onKanji recognition. It is suggested from the present study that the effects of strategy in information processing is not strong enough to overcome the visual field difference while the visual field difference is strongly influenced by the levels of Kanji processing.View full abstractDownload PDF (1288K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTo examine functional asymmetry in children's manipulation, 103 right-handed subjects (4, 5 and 6-year-olds) were given the unimanual task which included both sequential and spatial factors. The main results were as follows: (a) Subjects performed better with their right hands for the sequential factor, and with their left hands for the spatial factor. (b) Left-hand predominance was observed in correct responses of both sequential and spatial factors. (c) Though all subjects were right-handed, different performances were shown by the groups of latent handedness measured by the Crossing-arms test. These results were interpreted as a reflection of functional asymmetry of the brain, and it was suggested that the developmental process of manipulation was different from that of handedness.View full abstractDownload PDF (1338K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPerformance curves in each session of the Uchida-Kraepelin Psychodiagnostic Test (U-K Test) can be taken as the results of repeated trials of the same test, and one may assume that the structure of each session is Guttman's simplex. Three quasi-Markov models were constructed. Model 1 is a general quasi-Markov model. Model 2 assumes the equalities of the correlations between true scores of neighboring rows. In Model 3 the proportions of the variances of the true scores were set equal. These models were fitted to the observed data by the least squares method. The results were satisfactory enough to conclude that the correlation matrix among the 15 rows in each session of U-K Test shows a simplex structure. Further, the possibility was discussed that the models in this paper could be extended to deal with the 30 rows of U-K Test.View full abstractDownload PDF (1115K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSubjects were presented a sentence of active or passive voice, followed by various cue words either with or without delay. The task of the subject was to follow the cue word (s) and complete such a sentence as was semantically similar to the original. (a) Mean reaction time (RT) was longer for the passive voice response than for the active, and was the longest for the soshubun. (Soshu-bun is such type of sentence as “N1-wa (topic) N2-ga (subject) V-shita.” For example, “Talking of the child, a dog bit (him).”) (b) RT was shorter for the output sentence the word order of which was more frequently used. (c) Under without-delay condition, the shortest RT was obtained for the output sentence equal to the input sentence in voice. Three different kinds of models were compared to explain the above data. Among them “the direct selection of appropriate sentence type” model seemed most appropriate. Moreover, it was found that the syntactic structure of sentence was often not preserved long in memory and decayed much faster than the content.View full abstractDownload PDF (1373K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe changes of physiological responses (heart rate, eye blink) and subjective feelings (anxiety, tension, apparent size of the model) caused by approaching of other person (a model) were examined using two groups of subjects (eye-contact group and non eye-contact one). The results were as follows. (a) Eye-contact subjects tended to keep longer personal distances than non eye-contact ones. (b) Anxiety, tension, and apparent size of the model increased gradually as the model approached. In contrast the physiological responses increased abruptly at Distance 5, while decreasing slightly from Distance 1 to 4. (c) INDSCAL analysis revealed that the subjective indices formed one cluster but the heart rate and eye blink were situated differently. (d) Those who obtained high neurotic scores attributed exaggerated anxiety or tension to the situation. (e) The relation between eye blinks and tension reduction was discussed.View full abstractDownload PDF (1172K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of forewarning types and delay times on resistance to persuasion. Subjects were forewarned either 6min before or just before being exposed to persuasion. The results showed that different resistance effects were caused by the interaction of types of forewarning and delay times. Forewarning of persuasive intent aroused psychological reactance immediately, but forewarning of topic and position caused both psychological reactance and counterarguments in a delay condition, and both types of forewarning caused resistance to persuasion. The results were discussed in terms of the theory of psychological reactance and the counterargument model.View full abstractDownload PDF (998K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study was designed to investigate dimensions and determinants in person perception of foreigners. The results suggested that attributes of the stimulus persons' native country, such as the developmental level of the country and the type of the government, strongly affected the perceptual dimensions. The results also suggested that generalization based upon stereotyping might be very high, because there were only small individual differences in person perception of foreigners in comparison with liking for them.View full abstractDownload PDF (791K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA comparison was conducted, with the purpose of investigating the intelligence structure of the mental retardates, on the results of an administration of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) to the groups of both normal and mentally retarded persons. Intercorrelations among the WAIS subtest scores for each group were separately analyzed by the method of principal component analysis. Three common factors were found for the two groups: (1) the factor of general intelligence, (2) the factor separating verbal subtests from all other subtests, and (3) the factor separating numerical subtests from all other subtests. There were no clear difference in intelligence structure between the mental retardates and the normals.View full abstractDownload PDF (779K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA questionnaire study was conducted to test two hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: Those who have high social responsibility tend to have higher environmental concern than those who have low social responsibility. Hypothesis 2: Those who have low perceived cost of environmental conservation tend to have higher environmental concern than those who have high perceived cost of environmental conservation. Social responsibility and the perceived cost of environmental conservation were measured respectively by six- and five-item five-point scales. Environmental concern consisting of five sub-scales was measured by 34-item five-point scales. The two hypotheses were supported. The results also indicated that the effects of the two independent variables upon environmental concern was weaker in females than in males.View full abstractDownload PDF (807K) -
