Empirical findings demonstrate that East Asians are more likely than their North American counterparts to attend to context (e.g. Masuda &amp; Nisbett, 2001; 2006) and to produce\/prefer context-rich visual representations (e.g. Masuda, Gonzalez, Kwan, &amp; Nisbett, 2008; Wang, Masuda, Ito, &amp; Rashid, 2012). The findings of eye-tracking research also suggest that East Asians tend to allocate their attention to both the target and contextual information, whereas North Americans selectively allocate their attention to salient objects (e.g. Masuda, Ellsworth, et al., 2008; Masuda, Wang, Ishii, &amp; Ito, 2012; Senzaki, Masuda, &amp; Ishii, 2014). However, it is until recently that researchers have started to examine when and how culturally specific patterns of attention emerge in development. In this talk, I will present our latest findings of developmental studies that demonstrate cultural similarities and variations in preschool and school-age children and their caregiver\u2019s performances by using two cultural tasks: (1) School-age children\u2019s and their caregivers\u2019 emotion judgment styles (Masuda, Nand, et al. under review); (2) Preschool and school-age child interactions with their caregiver and their scene description styles (Senzaki, Masuda, et al. under review). I will then discuss the acquisition period for culturally specific patterns of attention, and the process of cultural transmission through caregiver-child interaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/assets\/upload\/images\/2014-12-11%2010.08.58(1).jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 300px;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asuka Murata, Assistant Professor of Center for Experimental Research in Social Sciences<br>e-mail: asukamurata@lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp, tel: 011-706-230<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"*This lecture will be jointly held with Top Global University Project.
