The term and concept of "immortality" has garnered a considerable amount of attention worldwide. However, research on this topic is lacking, and the question of when the mind of a deceased individual survives death has yet to be answered. This research investigates whether morality and mind perception of the dead correlate with immortality. Study 1 measures the perceived immortality of people, who were good or evil in life. The results show that the perceived morality is related with the perceived immortality. Moreover, participants indicated the extent to which each person had maintained a degree of morality and agency/experience of the mind. Therefore, morality and mind perception toward a person are related to perceived immortality. In Study 2, participants were asked to read three essays on robots (good, evil, and nonmoral), and had to indicate the extent to which each robot maintains a degree of immortality, morality, and agency/experience of the mind. The results show that good spirits of a robot are related to higher scores of mind perception toward the robot, resulting in increasing tendency of perceived immortality. These results provide implications that the morality of humans and robots can mediate the relationship between mind perception and immortality. This work extends on previous research on the determinants of social robots for overcoming difficulties in human-robot interaction.

이 연구에서는 단어를 지각하게 되면 그 단어에 대한 의미가 자동적으로 활성화되고 그림표상까지도 활성화되지만, 그림을 지각하고 난 후에는 의미표상체계는 활성화되지만 단어의 지각적 표상체계는 활성화되지 않는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 1과 2에서는 지연시간을 달리하여 그림을 지각적으로 처리를 하게 한 후 단어에 대한 점화효과를 보았으며, 실험 3 에서는 그림을 개념주도적 처리를 하게 한 후 단어에 대한 점화효과 및 암묵적 기억과 재인기억을 비교해 보았다. 실험결과 지각적 판단과제에서는 조건간의 아무런 차이가 없었지만, 의미적 판단과제에서는 동일조건과 그림조건에서의 반응시간이 통제조건을 포함한 기타 조건들에서보다 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 의미적 표상체계로부터 단어의 지각적 표상체계까지의 상호작용 통로가 존재하지 않으며, 그림자극이 단어자극의 점화효과에 영향을 주는 이유는 동일한 의미적 표상체계의 활성화가 단어자극의 지각적 표상체계까지 확산되기 때문이 아니라, 그림자극에 대한 의미적 표상체계가 활성화되기 때문이라는 점을 시사한다.

We surveyed the emotional images of three kinds of scientific technologies in people's mind and the perception of technologies in terms of their risks and benefits. The contents of the image and their image values were used to estimate the affects on each technology. As an affect heuristic hypothesis predicted, people perceived the technology more beneficial or riskier depending on their overall affect. In other words, those who have positive affect on the technology Perceived less risky and more beneficial than those who have negative affect. On the other hand, those who have negative affect on the technology perceived riskier and less beneficial than those who have positive affect. We also found negative relationship between the perceived risk and perceived benefit of each technology. The implications of our findings that suggest affective heuristic were discussed in terms of the measurements of affect and the necessity of communication of scientific technologies with the public.

가상 세계는 현실과 유사하게 디자인된 가상 환경과 인간처럼 행동 하도록 설계된 agent들로 구성되어 있다. 이 agent는 입력된 행동들만 수행하는 기존의 시스템과는 달리, 자신의 감각 기관을 통해 지각된 정보를 자신이 가진 knowledge schema와 비교하여 판단한 후, Agent 스스로 행동하는 것이 특징이다. 이 과정에서 새로운 정보를 저장하기도 하고, 기존의 정보를 수정하기도 하며 때로는 실수를 범하기도 한다. 가상 세계에 존재하는 Agent는 지각, 인식, 판단, 행동의 단계를 끊임없이 반복한다. 이 가운데 '지각'의 주된 목적은 Agent의 인식 성공률을 높이는데 있다. 이것을 위해서는 인식에서 비교 가능한 최적의 데이터 형태로 지각의 데이터들을 전달해야한다. 이 연구에서 지각 단계의 데이터 구조는 어떻게 구성되어야하고 또, 어떤 방식으로 인식 단계에 전달되는지에 대해 소개할 것이다.

음향공간의 질은 그 공간을 사용하는 사용자의 주관적인 판단에 의해 최종적으로 평가된다. 그러나 이와 같은 주관적인 판단은 주어진 공간에 대한 사용자의 종합적인 지각과 경험을 토대로 하여 이루어지는 것이므로 이를 정량 화하여 상호 비교하는 작업의 어려움과 한계는 많은 연구논문을 통해 지적된 바 있다 본 연구는 음향공간 내에서 음색지각의 변화를 JND개념을 이용하여 정량화하고 이를 음향선호도와 비교함으로써 기존의 주관적 평가방법보다 객관화된 평가방법 제안의 가능성을 논하고자 한다.

텍스쳐는 그 정의화 특징이 명확하지 않은 패턴이며, 무한한 변형에 따른 무한한 수의 텍스쳐가 존재한다. 이로 인해 사람의 텍스쳐 지각에 관한 연구에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 신경망으로 사람의 텍스쳐 특징 지각과 텍스쳐간의 유사도 지각을 모의실험하였다. 쌍별비교와 비교판단법칙을 사용하여 사람이 지각하는 텍스쳐의 특징값과 텍스쳐간의 유사도 값을 구하였다. 구한 값을 바탕으로 신경망의 일종인 다층퍼셉트론을 사용하여 특징 추출기와 유사도 특정기를 구현하여 모의 실험하였다. 신경망을 사용하여 모의실험한 결과, 사람의 텍스쳐 특징 지각과 텍스쳐간의 유사도 지각과 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 실험결과는 신경망으로 구현된 시스템이 사람의 감성적인 수치를 구하는 방법으로 사용될 수 있음을 보여 준다.

This study focused on the effects of median type on drivers' subjective sense of speed and the changes in this sense by driver age. Participants were 61 drivers: 20 young (aged 20-39 years), 19 middle-aged (40-59 years), and 22 older drivers (60+ years). The participants watched each of two driving scenarios, showing either a guardrail-equipped or a concrete median. The participants were asked to push a button when they perceived speeds of 60 km/h, 80 km/h, or 100 km/h. All drivers perceived higher speeds in the guardrail condition than in the concrete condition. Perceived speeds increased with driver age in both guardrail and concrete conditions. These results mean median type affects drivers' subjective sense of speed even as driver age increases, and that drivers' subjective sense of speed tends to increase with age.

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances, the number of cases in which AI becomes an object or subject of moral judgment is increasing, and this trend is expected to accelerate. Although the area of AI in human society expands, relatively few studies have been conducted on how people perceive and respond to AI. Three studies examined the effect of the anthropomorphism of AI on its responsibility. We predicted that anthropomorphism would increase the responsibility perception, and perceived agency and perceived patiency for AI would mediate this effect. Although the manipulation was not effective, multiple analyses confirmed the indirect effect of perceived patiency. In contrast, the effect of perceived agency of AI was somewhat mixed, which makes the hypothesis partially supported by the overall result. This result shows that for the moral status of artificial agents, perceived patiency is relatively more critical than perceived agency. These results support the organic perspective on the moral status that argues the importance of patiency, and show that patiency is more important than agency in the anthropomorphism related study of AI and robots.

This research aimed to investigate whether commercial drivers' situation awareness ability is related to their frequency and magnitude of caused accidents and penalty points. For the purpose of measuring drivers' situation perception and interpretation capacities, two tests named 'situation awareness test' and 'hazard perception test' were developed. The tests were based on the data from 299 commercial drivers (test drivers) using a driving simulator. The outcome of drivers' performance on situation awareness and hazard perception tests was designed to be categorized into 5 grades, classifying the best as grade 1 and the worst as grade 5. As the result, low grades on situation awareness test had positive relationship with accumulated penalty points, frequency of accidents and safety index. Grades on hazard perception test were also positively correlated with accident frequency and safety indices. This suggests situation awareness ability of commercial drivers is significantly related to traffic violations and accident causing tendencies.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 7-point interval scale(EAI) and visual analogue scale(VAS) on perceptual judgement and the reliability of severity on voice problems by dysphonic speakers. 30 undergraduate students studying communication disorder were enrolled in the perceptual evaluation. Those listeners judged overall voice severity within the anchored(condition 1) and non-anchored scales(condition 2) for vowel prolongation and reading tasks by 25 speakers with voice disorder. The results of this study showed that the scores by VAS was significantly higher than EAI in both condition 1 and condition 2 for vowel prolongation and reading task. However, the scores by EAI method was higher than by VAS method on voice severity of vowel prolongation (condition 1) and reading task(condition 2). These results suggest auditory-perceptual scaling procedures must be more studied in the aspects of clinical application of voice disorder.
