Welcome

In our lab, we study how we fit into the substructures of the environment in our various ways, and how we are formed by the world we live in. We are interested in the evolution and development of ability to use the affordances of the environment that are basic to the fundamental human econiche. Our major research interests includes processes of formation of action‐environment linkage and flexibility of behavior in humans from perceptual, developmental, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. Our current theoretical focus on the links between environmental perception and skilled practice, and on the nature of information medium for somatic logic found in human-environment systems. We conduct empirical research mainly with children, craftsmen, artists, and patients undergoing rehabilitation.

私の研究室では、人間の習慣的技能が結びつく先にある環境の性質について研究しています。臨機応変なふるまいの推移が生起する現場を実際に眺めてみると、そこで環境がもたらしている足場の豊かさに気付かされます。融通無碍に環境とつながるやわらかい知能について、「まわり」から迫ることで、本質的な理解を得たいとわたしたちは考えています。
