| Abstract |
This study has inferred the mechanism of psychological observation activities through comparison analysis of the observation data acquired from eye-tracking and their post-estimation. The results of their analysis can be summarized as the followings. First, even though the frame of analysis has been set up so that there might not be any change to the number of the sections even with any change of consecutive observation times, the fact that the time by area decreases along with the change of consecutive observation from three times to six and nine times means that the time spent on 「recognition」 of space information reduces in the course that the feature of observing for space information switches from 「perception to recognition」. Second, the subjects moves their eyes incessantly in order to acquire space information while observing the space, when it was confirmed that there was a difference between 「the space which the subjects searched for information by means of observation activities」 and 「that which they thought they observed that remaining in their consciousness」. The appreciation of this kind of difference is very significant for the analysis of observation features. Third, the short observation (0.1 second, three times of consecutive observations) is consistent with 「Ares I, intensively searched = that marked as having been observed consciously」 by 60%, while the long-time observation (0.3 second, 9 times of consecutive observations) had 56%, which was relatively high, of 「Area I, searched intensively ≠ that marked as having been observed consciously」, which means that the observation feature seen at the activities of 「consciousness : unconsciousness」 and 「observation : search」 had some change in the course of changing from 「perception to recognition」. |
