초록

본 연구는 영재아동들의 집행기능 중 억제처리과정을 폭넓게 살펴보기 위하여 진행되었으며, 억제처리과정을 인지적 차원과 정서적 차원으로 구분하여 처리 양상을 비교 분석하였다. 실험은 국내의 ${\times}{\times}$ 대학부설 영재교육원에 재학 중인 영재아동들 총 100명(성별에 따라 남62 및 여38, 학년에 따라 초등46, 중등54)을 대상으로 진행되었다. 실험 1에서는 인지적 요소가 포함된 억제처리 기능을 알아보기 위하여 단어-색상 스트룹 과제(word-color Stroop task)를 사용하였고, 실험 2에서는 정서적 요소가 포함된 억제처리 기능을 알아보기 위하여 정서 스트룹 과제(emotional Stroop task)를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 영재아동들은 억제처리 과정에서 인지적 자동반응을 억제하기 위한 인지적 비용이 발생하였으며, 이는 성별에 따른 차이는 없었으나 연령이 증가할수록 인지적 비용이 유의미하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 정서적 요소가 포함되는 억제처리 과정에서는 간섭 비용이나 정서로 인한 인지편향이 유의하게 발생하지 않았으며, 성별이나 연령에 따른 차이도 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과는 영재아동들의 인지적 억제처리와 정서적 억제처리가 동일한 기제가 아닌 구분되는 처리 양상임을 시사한다.

The present study investigated the inhibition mechanisms of gifted children, which is one of the main executive functions in human cognitive system. The inhibition process was subdivided into cognitive and emotion aspects in order to examine the interplay between these two aspects with respect to inhibition processing. In Experiment 1, word-color Stroop task was used to study the cognitive inhibition process of 100 gifted children(Gender: 62 males, 38 females; Academic grade: 46 Elementary school students, 54 Secondary school students). In addition, emotional Stroop task was utilized in Experiment 2 to examine the effect of emotional component during cognitive inhibition process. Results revealed a significant cognitive cost (i.e., word-color Stroop effect) when participants had to withhold automatic response during cognitive inhibition task in Experiment 1. Such cognitive cost was reduced as the chronological age of the participants increased, with no difference in gender. The results in Experiment 2 showed no significant emotional inhibition cost (i.e., emotional Stroop effect) during cognitive inhibition task, and there was no effect of gender nor age. This suggests that the emotional component conveyed in words did not lead to cognitive bias effects. This study proposes that the cognitive and emotional inhibition processes are seemingly independent mechanisms that engage in complex interactions during inhibition processing of behavioral response.
