1063.50 The difference between deaf and hearing children on form perception, Meng Yu,
Chunrong Ma, Dingguo Gao, Hengyi Rao, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China
Deaf individuals perform better than hearing individuals only in some specifically visual abilities
such as the ability of motion or form perception. This study compared the deaf and hearing
children’s performance on judging two given figures' colors or forms the same or not. The results
represent: 1. Deaf children are quicker than hearing children when judging either the form or the
color.2. Deaf children' s sensitivity (be measured by d') is higher in judging the form but lower in
judging the color than hearing children.3. Deaf children’s mean peripheral vs. central d’ ratio is
higher than hearing children’s.
1063.51 A rotating hollow mask illusion and the role of its central parts, Raiten Taya, Okayama
University, Japan
A rotating hollow mask is well known to appear normal and convex when viewed from a distance.
But we found, the mask remains concave when some central parts (i.e., eyes, nose and mouth) are
occluded by a static disc placed in front of the mask. The mask appears convex when only these
central parts alone are presented. This concave-cenvex relation was examined also by a rotating
two-sided folding screen.
1063.52 An psychological analysis on the cultural factors in the music perception, Deqing Tao,
South China Normal University, China
5-year-old preschoolers and musically untrained college students were detected, by the melodies
from the Chinese traditional music or the Western tonal music, on the ability to differentiate the
variations between the musical patterns which were changed in the two dimensions: redundancy
and conventionality. The findings show: (1) obvious effect of redundancy and the auditory
asymmetries phenomenon on both children and adults; (2) the conventionality of a melody,
complect with the cultural context of the different musical patterns from Chinese or Western music,
generates different contributions to the various exposure effects on Chinese listeners at the
different ages.
1063.53 Why vowel familiality does not facilitate the discrimination in autism, Kiyoshi

School of Medicine, Japan; 2 National Institute of Special Education, Japan; 3 University of Tokyo,
Japan; 4 University of California San Diego, USA; 5 Helsinki University, Finland
We recorded Event Related Potential (ERP) and Reaction Time (RT) of high function autism
(HFA) and also normal children during Japanese and Finnish vowel discrimination task in order to
investigate whether vowel familiarity has facilitative effect in autism. Clear amplitude difference
of P300 between HFA and normal children was observed only to inhibition vowel. No vowel
familiarity effect was observed in RT of the HFA children in contrast to normal children. It was
suggested that HFA children have difficulty in allocating the voluntary attention resource to
discriminate vowels and to inhibit the response.
