The
Influences of Learning Experience Upon the Visual Field Difference
in the Random Shape Recognition: Examination from Reversed Association
K. Yoshizaki |
This
study investigated the reason for a shift in laterality during short-term
learning. The new criterion of reversed association, developed by
Dunn and Kirsner (1988), was adopted to determine whether different
information processing mechanisms mediate between the before and
after phases of learning. A random shape recognition task (Test1)
was conducted first, followed by a paired-association learning task.
Several days later, the same subjects retook the same recognition
task (Test 2). The results showed (1) a shift in laterality through
the learning experience occurred between Tests, and (2) the different
information processing mechanisms mediated between Tests, and (3)
the left hemisphere seemed to exert metacontrol in Test 2.
