Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify effects of intensive sensory integration (SI) treatment and home-program for a child who has a sensory integration disorder. This study also examined whether the positive effect is long-lasting by a follow-up test. Method : A boy with sensory integration dysfunction underwent an intensive SI treatment for 2 weeks. The intervention was consisted of 9 sessions and duration of the each session was 40 minutes. Sensory diet and Wilbarger protocol was provided as home program. The child's sensory function was evaluated before and after the SI intervention. Five month later, re-evaluation was executed for follow-up purpose. Results : In the evaluation after the Si intervention, the child's sensory defensiveness was decreased. Praxis, visual perception, sensory regulation dysfunction (sleep function), affective stabilization and performance of activities of daily living are also improved. In the re-evaluation after the 5 month later, the self-regulation ability, especially sleep function, has been maintained and the visual perception was developing continually. However, the child showed some affective regulation such as bothering his mother and losing his temper. Conclusions : The intensive SI intervention showed positive effects in terms of SI function improvement and the effect lasted long without any additional therapeutic intervention.

예망어구의 유체역학적인 특성과 예망어구내에서의 유속 측정 자료를 기초로 어류의 측선 유수감각에 작용하는 유효한 유수자극량을 추산하고 정량화하기 위하여 예망어구내의 3차원적인 상대유속의 선형적인 분포정도를 모델링하였다. 예망어구내의 상대유속은 망지의 제반규격과 예망어구의 수중 전개형상에서의 각부 거리비에 따라 상대유속비를 선형적으로 수식화하여 본문의 식(3)과 (8)로 표현하였다. 이러한 상대유속비는 어류의 측선 유수감각기관에 의하여 탐지될 수 있는 와동 유수자극량의 지표로써 사용될 수 있다. 어류의 유수감각 예민도는 어류의 전장과 어체주위 상대유속에 의하여 선형적으로 변화되는 것으로 가정하고 본문의 식(9)와 같이 탐지가능한 상대유속차의 최소값으로 나타내었다. 예망어구내의 상대유속 분포에 관한 본 모델의 계산 결과는 실물예망어구에서 실측된 상대유속의 범위내에서 거의 근사하게 나타났으며 본 모델은 어류의 대망행동 모델링에서 예망어구의 유수자극과 어류의 유수감각 예민도를 상대적으로 정량화하여 어류행동의 반응요인으로 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 인간의 마음을 움직이는 감각자극과 그것을 생성해 내는 시스템 구현에 관한 연구이다. 마음을 움직이거나, 어떤 행동을 유발하는 정신작용의 과정에 관여하는 요소들을 밝히고, 그 구조와 효과 등을 알아내는 일이 중요하며, 이러한 연구의 성과물들은 정신작용에 관여하는 요소들을 조작, 변수처리 하여 의도적인 정신작용 감각자극을 만들어 낼 수 있는 시스템 구현을 가능하게 할 수 있다. 인간은 감각자극으로 인지된 정보를 자신의 정신적인 필터를 통해 개념화하게 되는데, 이 시스템은 의식에 직접 관여하거나, 우회하는 감각자극에 대한 것들을 제공 할 수 있도록 인간의 개념화의 과정을 의식하여 시스템의 구조를 구현 했다. 인간의 기억데이터와 비슷하다 할 수 있는 구조적 위치의 소스데이터가 있다. 그리고 이것을 현실의 시공간에서 얻어지는 미적 행위와 자극의 반복을 통해 얻어진 결과로 만들어 내거나, 이러한 미적 결과물을 유저는 커뮤니케이션의 도구로 사용할 수 있다. 이와 같은 것의 시작으로, 우리의 삶 깊숙이 침투해 있는 미디어의 감각자극들을 수동적으로 수용하는 것이 아니라 능동적으로 생산해 내는 것이다. 이런 행위는 자신을 가꾸고 만드는 자기최면적인 도구나, 대상을 갖는 커뮤니케이션의 도구를 만들어내는 연구가 될 수 있다. 자신이 필요로 하는 정신적 바탕을 스스로 만들어가는 도구로써, 자신의 메시지를 대상에게 감동을 통해 전달하는 도구로써, 그 역할을 운운하기에는 시기상조인 감이 있다. 하지만 이 시스템은 이러한 비전을 가지고 개발과 발전을 거듭해 인공감성지능 감각자극 생성과 커뮤니케이션 시스템으로 성장 할 것이다.

Objective : The purpose of the study is to find out how group sensory integrative (SI) intervention enhances play skill and social interaction of the children with sensory integration disorders. Method : Three children who were showing problems related in sensory integration received 12 SI intervention sessions. The Sensory Profile (SP) and The Social Maturity Scale (SMS) were accomplished by the subject's primary caregiver. Test of Playfulness (ToP) and Peer Social Interactions Rating Scale (PSIRS) were utilized to investigate the children's play skills and social interactions with their friends. Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) is applied to assess the children's play skill, social interactions with peer, and sensory processing at each session. Data was collected before- and after the intervention and analyzed by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test with SPSS/WIN version 10.0 and Microsoft Excel. Results : The average scores of ToP, PSIRS, and SMS were increased after the sensory integrative intervention. However, there is no significant difference in the play skills and social interactions between data of pre-intervention and the one of post-intervention. The score of the GAS was frequently increased in terms of the play skills and sensory processing throughout the whole sessions. Conclusions : This study reveals a possibility of that the group sensory integrative intervention may affect not only sensory processing ability, but also play skills and social interactions of children experiencing difficulties of sensory processing. Future research should supplement limitations of this study regarding insufficient number of the subject and the short period of the experiment.

신경생리학적으로 밝혀진 바에 의하면, 대뇌의 시상에 분포한 일차 감각영역에서 감각 정보를 수집한다. 수집된 감각 정보는 과거 기억과의 비교를 통해 인식되고 인식된 정보는 일차 운동영역으로 전달되어 행동으로 나타난다. 수집된 감각 정보를 판단하는 기관은 감각 연합 영역으로 알려져 있으며, 과거 정보를 통해 비교하여 판단하는 방식이다. 하지만, 과거 기억 정보로 존재하지 않는 새로운 감각 입력에 대해서는 대뇌피질 내의 파페츠 회로를 통해 새로이 기억하게 된다. 이 과정에는 변연계의 편도체(Amygdala)의 감정 반응을 이용하여 강한 감정 반응을 유도하는 감각 입력에 대해서는 강한 기억을 하게 되고, 반대의 경우에는 약한 기억을 하게 되는 특징이 고려된다. 본 논문에서는 기억되지 않은 새로운 감각 자극에 대해 감정 반응 정도에 따라 기억되는 정도의 변화를 관찰할 수 있는 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 이 모델은 대뇌피질의 정보 처리 및 감각 학습 과정을 인공적으로 구현하는 과정에 바탕이 될 것이다.

Objective : The aim of this study is to verify the effects of group sensory integrative intervention for sensory motor ability, behaviors in children with developmental delay. Method : The subjects were five children with developmental delays aged between 3 and 5. All Children participated in 26 sessions of group sensory integrative intervention. Children' behavior during testing was observed to assess the sensory motor ability, behaviors, the clinical observation. One group pretest- posttest design was used to verify the effect of group sensory integrative intervention. The observed children' behavior during testing were tested by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test. Results : There is no significant difference in the clinical observation between pre and post intervention. However, subjects showed the significant difference in Social interaction(Z=-2.121, p=.034), Attention(Z=-2.032, p=.042), total score in Behavior during testing(Z=-2.032, p=.042). Conclusions : The result in this study suggested that the sensory integrative intervention is effective in facilitating the social skills and improving the attention and behaviors. On the other hand, there is no effect in sensory motor ability. It is difficult to generalize the conclusion because the number of the subject was limited and the environmental confounding factors has not been controlled. Therefore, it is needed to supplement these limitations in the future study.

This study investigated the relationships between sensory processing patterns and pain catastrophizing levels in well older adults to provide basic information for rehabilitation intervention. The participants of this study were 216 older adults aged over 65. The Adolescent/Adults Sensory Profile(AASP) was used to measure sensory processing patterns and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale(PCS) was employed to evaluate psychological variables of the pain. Self perception of the pain was measured with the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS). Gender and age differences were analyzed with t-test and relationships among sensory processing patterns, pain catastrophizing and pain symptom levels were analyzed with Pearson product-moment coefficients of correlation. Women had higher 'sensory sensitivity' and 'sensory avoiding.' The group over 75 years old had higher 'sensory avoiding,' 'low registration' and 'sensory seeking.' Women had higher pain catastrophizing and pain symptom levels. Negative correlations between 'rumination' and 'low registration' and 'helplessness' and 'sensory seeking' were found. Positive correlations were found between pain catastrophizing and pain symptom levels when they were 'sensory sensitivity' and 'sensory avoiding.' The results infer that sensory processing patterns are associated with psychological variables of the pain and there are differences based on gender and age. Further studies are warranted to support the results.

This study was conducted to review whether there is a difference in the audience effect of advertisements of IoT products across different levels of sensory innovativeness. For the study, a total of 128 male and female university students and three advertisements of IoT products were selected. The study findings show that consumers with a higher tendency in purusing sensory innovativeness are more likely to rate more positively the perceived usefulness of the product and the attitude towards the product as shown in the advertisement. This finding is meaningful in that it was concluded from an empirical study at a time when studies on advertisements of IoT products are lacking. The study is also expected to provide beneficial insights into effective execution of advertisements of new technologies and establishment of marketing strategies. Follow-up studies that take into account a wider range of variables representing sensory innovativeness in consumers are suggested.

The 'spatial sense' means an intuitive feel for one's surroundings and the objects in them. The early childhood is an important period to develop the 'spatial sense'. For young children, motion is a major way of extending their spatial awareness. Consequently, an important step in spatial sense instruction involves getting the children moving. This paper proposes four motion based-contents for improving the spatial sense of young children: a bubble game, a cyber goalkeeper game, a mud-huddle game, and a shape recognition game, The proposed four games are implemented to the virtual learning environments. Also, the virtual learning environments utilize the realistic interfaces which can recognize motions of young children and then interact with the games as they do the movement at the virtual environments provided. Using the realistic interfaces not only develops young children's spatial sense but also offers them the pleasure and interest of self-study.

The present study aims to examine the relationship between self-reported sensory impairment and cognitive function among older adults in Korea. Drawn from the 2017 Survey of Living Conditions and Welfare Needs Korean Older Persons, a total of 10,082 adults aged 65 and over were included in analyses. Results from hierarchial multiple regression analysis show that those who reported greater subjective discomfort about vision, hearing, and oral function were more likely to have poor cognitive function. Results from hierarchial logistic regression analysis show. Results from logistic regression analysis show that having hearing and oral discomfort increased the a risk for dementia. Findings suggest that it is necessary to manage sensory function of the elderly at the government level and to develop self-evaluation tools to monitor changes in sensory function for older adults. Future research should target finding effective ways to improve health of older adults.
