Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We investigated the bahavioral characteristics of pointing to a remembered target in a walking distance over reaching, for an attempt to discuss the short-term memory representation about the position for objects in rather far space. Our results showed(1)that information of targets' position for pointing was encoded on a body-centered frame of reference tied to the eyes and the shoulder jointed to the effector arm, (2)that by turning subjects' body and changing the direction of viewing before recall of the targets, they indicated the position of targets biased toward their body on the onset of pointing, and(3)that visual stimuli other than the targets interfered the memorized targets to be undershot with respect to the subjects' body.
