Abstract

본 연구에서는 과학 영재와 일반아의 창의적 추리과정시 나타나는 두뇌사고 패턴을 sLORETA 분석 기법을 통해 분석하고, 신경생리적 특성을 파악하여 과학 영재아 판별의 기초와 활용 가능성을 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구를 위한 대상자는 과학영재아 6명과 동일 학군 및 학년에 속한 일반아 6명으로 총 12명의 오른손잡이로 하였다. 창의적 추리과정을 위해 사용된 과제는 레이븐 도형점진행렬검사를 사용하였고, 안정상태와 과제 수행간 뇌파를 측정하였다. 뇌파는 19개의 전극을 통해 수집된 16초간의 데이터를 통해 분석하였으며, sLORETA 분석 기법을 통해 8개의 주파수 대역(Delta, Theta, Alpha-1/2, Beta-1/2, Gamma, Omega)에 대한 평균 전류밀도값을 그룹별로 비교하였다. 그룹간 두뇌 활성 주파수 대역을 비교한 결과 눈감고 안정 상태에서 과학영재아가 일반아에 비해 알파-2 대역에서, 레이븐 과제 수행시 과학 영재아가 일반아에 비해 알파-1과 감마 대역에서 강한 활성이 관찰되었다. 연구 결과 나타난 알파 및 감마 대역 활성과 우반구로의 기능적 편측화(Lateralization)는 창의적 문제 해결시 영재아에게 나타나는 대표적 특성 중 하나이며, 배외측전전두피질(DLPFC)의 활성은 과학영재아의 높은 유동지능을 반영하는 결과라 볼 수 있다.
