AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how negative views persist.
The lab of Associate Professor Yuki Nishiguchi studies how negatively biased perception arises in depressed states.
In depression, people's perception tends to become biased toward the negative, and this bias is said to be hard to correct in a positive direction.
The lab investigates the cause from the perspective of how difficult it is to update predictions during learning, and plans to test this with cognitive experiments and questionnaire surveys.
The university's faculty directory lists Associate Professor Nishiguchi's fields of specialty as cognitive clinical psychology and educational psychology.
