e intention-superiority e ect refers to the superior retention of information about intended but uncompleted tasks compared with the retention of information about tasks that are unintended. We conduct two experiments to examine this e ect in a situation where the participants were presented with multiple plans. e rst experiment attempts to replicate the e ect with 24 participants. e results indicated that the time needed for a lexical decision tended to be shorter for items included within a script when the script was yet to be performed compared to when the script had already been carried out. In the second experiment, 24 participants performed actions from two scripts that were memorized in advance. Longer response times were observed for items from the second script, when the decision task was administered before performing the rst script compared to when the decision task was administered a er performing the rst script i.e., immediately before performing the second script. ese results indicate that participants e ciently control activation levels related to both uncompleted and completed plans.
The neural basis of social tactics: An fMRI study
NeuroImage, 2006
One of the most powerful ways of succeeding in complex social interactions is to read the minds of companions and stay a step ahead of them. In order to assess neural responses to reciprocal mind reading in socially strained human relationships, we used a 3-T scanner to perform an event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging study in 16 healthy subjects who participated in the game of Chicken. Statistical parametric mapping showed that the counterpart effect (human minus computer) exclusively activated the medial frontal area corresponding to the anterior paracingulate cortex (PCC) and the supramarginal gyrus neighboring the posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS). Furthermore, when we analyzed the data to evaluate whether the subjects made risky/aggressive or safe/reconciliatory choices, the posterior STS showed that the counterpart had a reliable effect regardless of risky or safe decisions. In contrast, a significant opponent x selection interaction was revealed in the an...
The Structure of Decision-making of Students for Transfer in Short-cycle Higher Education
2009
The aim of this paper is to analyze the structure of decision-making of students for transfer in short-cycle higher education based on the "Survey on high school students' progression" conducted by Center for Research on University Management and Policy, Tokyo University. After the descriptive analysis, binominal logistic regression model was used for analyzing the structure of decision-making of students for transfer at both time of high school and colleges. The primary results include: 1) Parents' expectation regulates their children's choice. 2) Academic record in junior high school and learning behavior in college affect students' choice. Further analysis of actual result of transfer to university and development of framework of student survey that focuses on another type of minority students remain as future issues
