Abstract(in English) Not only visual inputs but also prior knowledge about the external world affect the search strategy for the changes occuring in the visual world. The effect of piror knowledge on search strategy is known to persist even when the observers are aware the futility of the prior knowledge. However, it is unclear what kind of experience is necessary for constructing such powerful effect of prior knowledge. In the present study, we investigated how the repetition of experience of detection affects the following search strategy. In the learning session, the subjects repeatedly performed a change detenction task for the same images and the same change location. In the following test session, the subjects performed the same task for the same images but the different change locations. We recorded the eye movement during search task and measured how long the subjects looked at where the experience of detection occurred in the learning session. As a result, in the test trial immediately after the learning trial, the subjects looked longer at the location where the change occured in the learning session. In the follwoing test session, however, this effect did not last but decayed. These results suggest that the repetition of the experience of detection is insufficient for acquiring a powerful prior knowledge.
