Abstract

Many methods have been proposed to support learning optimized for each learner. However, these methods mainly target novice to intermediate learners. We propose a method for further improving the abilities of advanced learners and professionals. At the advanced and higher levels, learners often target the behavior of more competent others. However, it is difficult to acquire the skills of such others simply by observing their behaviors. A learner must understand the thought processes to arrive at their behavior. Knowing the emotions that lead others to their behaviors could help learners understand others’ thought processes. On the basis of this approach, we investigated a learning-support method that uses the emotions of others using Japanese chess (Shogi) as the subject. We obtained valences, arousals, and subjective-position scores (i.e., evaluation of whether black or white has an advantage for each position) for each move of Shogi from two professional Shogi players with different playing styles. We observed noteworthy gaps in valence and arousal between the two players, even with similar subjective-position scores. The players also gained new perspectives on complex moves by referring to each other’s emotions. This suggests that awareness of the emotional gaps with others can broaden a professional’s creativity.
