study provides an overview of the current landscape of applied cognitive
sciences in Japan, particularly emphasizing research aims and methods. While
numerous academic associations dedicated to basic and applied cognitive
sciences regularly publish journals, most Japanese studies tend to be
domestically focused and primarily published in Japanese. Within this context,
we highlight three lesser-known yet potentially intriguing studies for
international researchers: a false confession model by Hamada, a replication of
an actual witness situation by Itsukushima, and a project addressing
interviewing procedures for child witnesses by Naka. Additionally, we pinpoint
two critical challenges in Japanese applied cognitive sciences¡ªlinguistic and
social constraints in applied research¡ªemphasizing the necessity to overcome
these hurdles to advance applied cognitive research in Japan.
