    ABSTRACT

    This study examined whether pupil size varies as a function of the memorability of natural scene images. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to memorize, recognize, and passively view high‐ and low‐memorability images from an established dataset. The baseline‐corrected pupil sizes were larger for high‐memorability images, but only during old trials in the recognition phase. However, after implementing stricter controls for image luminance and arousal, pupil dilation for high‐memorability images was observed across all phases: memorization, recognition, and passive viewing (Experiments 2 and 3). The effect of image memorability was further validated through item‐based analysis. Both the pupil old/new effect and the subsequent memory effect were replicated, and these effects are probably separable from the effect of image memorability. The results of this study suggest that pupil size is sensitive to image memorability regardless of the behavioral task, supporting the view that image memorability is an intrinsic, higher‐order property of the image.

  • The contributions of surface features and contour shapes to object slant perception Reviewed

    Humans perceive 3D shapes even from 2D images. A slant can be perceived from images of slanted rectangular objects, which include texture gradients and linear perspective contours. How does the visual system integrate and utilize these pictorial depth cues? A new visual illusion that provides some insights into this issue was examined. A box-like object with disk figures drawn on its upper surface was rendered in a linear perspective image. The length of the object's upper surface side line was overestimated, probably due to the foreshortened disks serving as slant cues. This illusory effect occurred even when observers estimated the line length on the image plane, suggesting that the slant perception from the disks was mandatory. Five experiments revealed that multiple depth cues were utilized for the slant perception; the aspect ratio of the disks, texture gradients, trapezium/parallelogram contours, and the side surfaces of the box-like object. However, foreshortened disks outside the object were not utilized as depth cues. These results suggested that various depth cues belonging to the target object are integrated for the slant perception.

  • Good conduct makes your face attractive: The effect of personality perception on facial attractiveness judgments Reviewed

    Human facial attractiveness is related to physical features, such as clear complexion and symmetry. However, it is also known that facial attractiveness judgments are influenced by a wide range of non-physical factors. Here, we examined the effect of the personality information of a target person on facial attractiveness judgments. In Experiment 1, participants read a verbal description of a target person (high or low honesty), followed by the presentation of the target face and facial attractiveness rating. The honest personality increased the rated facial attractiveness, replicating a previous report. This “honesty premium” effect was independent of pre-rated facial attractiveness (Experiment 1), target gender, participant gender, and target clothing (Experiment 2). Experiment 3 found that creative personality did not affect facial attractiveness ratings, while an aggressive personality was suggested to decrease the rated facial attractiveness of male targets. We did not find evidence that participants’ moods caused these effects. The results suggest that the “what is good is beautiful” stereotype is robust and that facial attractiveness is malleable and dependent on various physical and non-physical information.

    The neural basis for temporal integration of visual information in short term memory. We investigated the neural basis of integration of temporally separated bilateral asymmetrical dot patterns by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A symmetrical dot pattern with a small asymmetric region was temporally separated into two patterns and presented sequentially. The participants were asked to find the asymmetrical region by temporally integrating the patterns. When the second array was presented after a brief (40ms) or a long (2560ms) interval the performance was good. However, ...

    A number of psychological experiments have shown that the response of current trial assimilates toward the response of the preceding trial in perceptual decision-making tasks (sequential effect; Holland & Lockhead, 1968). The sequential effect has been widely observed in evaluation of physical property of stimuli (e.g., loudness and brightness; Ward & Lockhead, 1970; Ward, 1982) as well as more naturalistic properties (e.g., price of furniture; Matthews & Stewart, 2009). However, it is unclear whether subjective decision (e.g., preference) is also susceptible to the sequential effect. Here, we examined whether the sequential effect would occur in attractiveness judgment for objects and faces. Forty-eight pictures of male and female faces or thirty-two objects were presented successively. Participants rated the attractiveness of each face or object on a 7-point scale. The results showed that the attractiveness rating of a given face or object assimilated toward the rating of the preceding trial. These findings suggest that attractiveness judgment is also biased toward the preceding judgment, and hence the sequential effect can be extended in the domain of subjective decision-making.

  • The role of visual symmetry in determining depth orientation of familiar objects(Summary of Awarded Presentations at the 24th Annual Meeting)

    This study investigated the mechanism by which human vision determines the orientation of depth-rotated familiar objects. We hypothesized that the symmetry of the contours in the front and back views of objects is used to determine their orientation because familiar objects are often bilaterally symmetrical. The participants were required to detect 15°differences of depth orientation of the two objects presented simultaneously. Detection was better for the 0°(front) and 180°(back) conditions than for the 45°, 90°, and 135°conditions (Experiment 1). These results confirmed a predicted contribution of symmetry. The same pattern of results was observed when detection was required of an orientation difference of two different objects (Experiment 2).

    ヒトの視覚による物体認識について、これまで知られていなかった様々な特性を発見した。
    1、前年度に続く物体方向知覚(車やイスといった物体が自分に対してどちらを向いているかを視覚によって認識すること)についての研究では、物体が置かれている周囲の環境が持つ方向情報(例えば、道路や部屋の方向)が物体方向知覚に影響を与えることがわかった。物体方向知覚において、本来は物体そのものと関係のない周囲の環境の方向を無視できない傾向があるということになる。物体認識のみならず、情景認識など視覚認知研究の他分野にも影響を与える成果だと言える。
    2、また、物体の見た目の好ましさがどのように形成されるのかを調べる実験研究が進行し、すでにいくつかのまとまった知見を得ることができた。例えば、家具や乗物などの製品の画像を見て、その製品の好ましさを答えてもらう実験では、たった0.1秒間見るだけ好ましさがほぼ決定されることがわかった。好ましさのような非常に複雑で高次の視覚的認知がこのように高速かつ効率的に行われていることは、驚くべき発見である。
    こういった発見はいずれも、視覚物体認識が単一の物体認識神経機構によって独立に担われているという従来の考え方に変更を迫るものである。高次視覚物体認識は、他の様々な視覚認知メカニズムとの相互作用と統合的情報処理によって成立していることが裏付けられたと言える。いずれの成果も国内外で学会発表をしている。また、1の成果は英語論文として投稿、査読中である。2の成果も英語論文執筆中である。
