Legibility of electronic paper was evaluated by using the method of letter-search task and subjective visual comfort scaling. The results show that legibility depends on the illumination level, and conventional paper has a higher visual comfort rating than electronic paper although they have the similar performance in the letter-search task.

An experiment was carried out to compare the suitability in visual tasks between flat and conventional (convex) cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays. The subjects performed visual search tasks during 2-h for detecting target words among distracters presented on the screen. The subjects' visual performance was evaluated with average time and number of errors made to complete the tasks. Visual fatigue after the search tasks was also evaluated in terms of degradations in accommodative power and subjective ratings. Difference was not found in task time between the two displays, but flat CRT showed a lower number of errors than conventional CRT. The difference in number of errors was statistically significant at 0=0.05. Although there was no difference between the displays in degradations of accommodative power, results from the subjective ratings showed that flat CRT yields less fatigue than conventional CRT. The results partially support the hypothesis that panel convexity of CRT displays has a significant effect on the performance and fatigue during visual tasks and thus flat CRT is the better display than conventional one.

Using a target detection task, this study compared the processing automaticity of phonemes and features in spoken syllable stimuli to determine the primitive representation in speech perception, phoneme or distinctive feature. For this, we modified the visual search task(Treisman et al., 1992) developed to investigate the processing of visual features(ex. color, shape or their conjunction) for auditory stimuli. In our task, the distinctive features(ex. aspiration or coronal) corresponded to visual primitive features(ex. color and shape), and the phonemes(ex. /$t^h$/) to visual conjunctive features(ex. colored shapes). The automaticity is measured by the set size effect that was the increasing amount of reaction time when the number of distracters increased. Three experiments were conducted. The laryngeal features(experiment 1), the manner features(experiment 2), and the place features(experiment 3) were compared with phonemes. The results showed that the distinctive features are consistently processed faster and automatically than the phonemes. Additionally there were differences in the processing automaticity among the classes of distinctive features. The laryngeal features are the most automatic, the manner features are moderately automatic and the place features are the least automatic. These results are consistent with the previous studies(Bae et al., 2002; Bae, 2010) that showed the perceptual hierarchy of distinctive features.

The ability to understand given environments and plan a sequence of actions leading to goal state is crucial for personal service robots. With recent advancements in deep learning, numerous studies have proposed methods for state representation in planning. However, previous works lack explicit information about relationships between objects when the state observation is converted to a single visual embedding containing all state information. In this paper, we introduce graph-based state representation that incorporates both object and relationship features. To leverage these advantages in addressing the task planning problem, we propose a Graph Neural Network (GNN)-based subgoal prediction model. This model can extract rich information about object and their interconnected relationships from given state graph. Moreover, a search-based algorithm is integrated with pre-trained subgoal prediction model and state transition module to explore diverse states and find proper sequence of subgoals. The proposed method is trained with synthetic task dataset collected in simulation environment, demonstrating a higher success rate with fewer additional searches compared to baseline methods.

행동 효과(action effect)란, 특정 자극에 대한 단순한 행동이 이후의 시각 탐색 과제에서 해당 자극의 인지적 처리를 향상시키는 효과를 말한다. 본 연구는 행동을 지시하는 단어의 의미적 표상과 실제로 수행하는 행동의 종류가 행동 효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 시행되었다. 실험 1은 선행 연구의 실험 패러다임을 반복 검증하였다. 참가자는 화면을 통해 제시되는 "출발" 또는 "정지"의 행동 지시어를 보고 뒤이어 나타나는 원형 자극에 대하여 키보드를 이용해 응답하거나(출발 조건) 응답하지 않았다(정지 조건). 다음으로, 참가자는 한쪽으로 기울어진 선분을 찾아 기울어진 방향을 보고하는 시각 탐색 과제를 수행하였다. 이때 표적 자극은 이전에 제시되었던 원형 자극 위에 나타나거나(타당 조건) 다른 자극 위에 나타날 수 있었다(비타당 조건). 시각 탐색 과제의 반응 속도를 분석한 결과, 선행연구와 동일한 행동 효과(행동 조건과 타당도 조건의 상호작용)를 관찰할 수 있었다. 실험 2에서는 반응 도구 및 물리적 행동의 종류가 상이한 경우에도 행동 효과가 유지되는지 알아보고자 진행되었다. 참가자는 제시되는 행동 지시어에 대하여 키보드를 이용해 응답하였으나, 시각 탐색 과제에서는 조이스틱 방향을 조정함으로써 반응을 보고하였다. 그 결과, 타당도에 따른 주효과 및 행동 효과 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 단어의 의미적 표상이 행동 효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 실험 3에서는 두 행동 조건 모두 반응을 하지 않게 하였고, 실험 4에서는 두 행동조건 모두 각기 다른 키를 사용하여 반응하게 하였다. 그 결과, 두 실험 모두 타당도에 따른 주효과만 유의미했으며 행동 효과는 관측되지 않았다. 실험 3과 실험 4의 결과를 비교 분석한 결과, 실험 유형과 타당도 간의 상호작용이 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 행동 지시어의 의미적 표상만으로는 행동 효과를 야기할 수 없으며, 이중과제 패러다임에서 물리적 반응의 도구 및 종류와 상관없이 행동 효과가 관찰될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다.

Object segmentation is a challenging task in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a visual attention based segmentation method to segment small sized interesting objects in natural images. Different from the traditional methods, we first search the region of interest by using our novel saliency-based method, which is mainly based on band-pass filtering, to obtain the appropriate frequency. Secondly, we applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to locate the object region. By incorporating the visual attention analysis into object segmentation, our proposed approach is able to narrow the search region for object segmentation, so that the accuracy is increased and the computational complexity is reduced. The experimental results indicate that our proposed approach is efficient for object segmentation in natural images, especially for small objects. Our proposed method significantly outperforms traditional GMM based segmentation.

An inspection task largely can be seen as a job divided up into a series of visual search and classification subtasks. In these subtasks, an Inspector must performs to compare the standard references proposed in visual environments and recalled in his memory with the visual stimuli to be inspected. It means that the judgement of similarity should be demanded on inspection tasks. Therefore, the inspector's ability for the judgement of similarity and the difference similarity between inspection materials are important factors to effect on performances in inspection tasks. In this paper, to analysis the effect of these factors on inspection time, an inspection task is designed and suggested by means of computer simulator. Especially, the skin conductance responses(SCR) of subjects are measured to evaluate the complexity of tasks due to the difference of similarity between materials. In the results of experiment, the more similar or different the difference of similarity between materials is, the shorter the inspection time is because of the reduction of task complexity. And, When the inspector's cognition for similarity between materials is consistanct, the inpsection time is improved. Concludingly, the consistency of reponses for similarity judgement becomes a measurement to present the performance levels. And the information of inspection time that due to the difference of similarity between materials must be considered in planning and scheduling inspection tasks.

In this driving simulation study, the impairing effects of various types of electronic devices usage(i. e., destination search by using in-vehicle navigation system, TV watching and dialing cellular phone) during driving on front-to-rear-end collision avoidance were investigated. Percentage of collisions, driving speeds when the drivers collided, and initial reaction time for collision avoidance were analyzed and compared as the dependent measures. The results indicated that (1) any types of electronic devices usage during driving induced more serious collision-related impairment than control condition where no additional task was required, and (2) in general, destination search task appeared to impair drivers collision avoidance performance more than the other task requirements in terms of percentage of collisions and initial reaction time for collision avoidance, but TV watching induced most serious collision impact. These results suggested that any types of electronic device usage could distract drivers attention from the primary task of driving, and be resulted in serious outcome in potentially risky situation of front-to-rear-end collision. In particular, mandatory use of eye-hand coordination and receiving feedback seemed to one of essential factor leading the drivers visual attentional distraction.

정지/운동하는 배경자극들 속에서 정지/운동하는 표적을 탐지하는 데 있어서 표적 유형과 망막 이심율의 효과를 알아보기 위해서 두 가지 실험을 수행하였다. 두 실험 모두 시각탐색과제를 사용하였다. 망막 이심율은 1.6$^{\circ}$ 단위로 커지는 5개의 동심원으로 구분하였으며, 표적은 배경자극과 방위차원에서 차이나는 방위 표적과 세부특정에서 차이나는 세부특정 표적이었다. 실험 l에서는 표적과 배경자극이 모두 정지되어있는 상황에서의 탐색을 다루었다. 그 결과 표적 유형과 망막 이심율 사이에 상호작용이 있었다. 정지상황에서 방위 표적은 망막 이심율의 영향을 별로 받지 않는 반면에, 세부특정 표적은 망막 이율이 증가함에 따라서 탐지시간이 일관성 있게 증가하였다. 표적과 배경자극이 모두 운동하는 상황인 실험 2 에서도 둘 사이의 상호작용이 나타냈으나, 그 이유는 실험 1과 극적인 대조를 이루었다. 즉, 운 동 상황에서 방위 표적은 망막 이심율이 증가함에 따라서 탐지시간이 일관성 있게 감소하는 반면, 세부 특징 표적은 망막 이심율의 영향을 거의 받지 않았다. 두 실험의 결과를 항공기나 자동차의 운동과 같은 현실상황과 관련된 합의와 문제점 그리고 향후 연구방향을 논의하였다.
