In this research, we investigated the effect of robot programming education on adaption for school life of student with learning disabilities focusing on learned helplessness and the quantity of spontaneous communication. The participant of this study was the student supported with LD really in 4th grade elementary school. Results of the study present that learned helplessness was declined, the quantity of spontaneous communication was increased throughout robot programming education. Based on results, these finding suggested ways to practice the application of strengths-based instruction, intervention utilizing gamification for school life of student with learning disabilities in educational setting.

Recently, the need to prevent or treat cognitive impairment in older adults has been arising. In particular, they tried to diagnose MCI as an early stage of Alzheimer's disease and to delay the progression to dementia through training cognitive function. Most of cognitive function training have been manufactured to game contents which related to several cognitive function, and it needs to be verified quantitatively whether subjects are paying attention to cognitive function training. Thus in this study, we measured and analyzed EEG signals while performing attention training game contents. As an analysis method, we utilized CI, which shows how much they are focusing on, and RI, which shows how stable they are. The result of this study can be seen that all the subjects' CI were increased, which means that the subjects performed game contents with concentration.

Compared to the past, the number of disabled people in Korea is continuing to increase. As for the scope of the disability, it is expanding as well since it now includes all types of illnesses, car accidents, complications resulting from aging, industrial accidents and others accidents. Attempts are made in terms of applying sports game method that grafts IT technology in order to ensure that the disabled people participate continually in sports. While casting away the notion of play which was the role of a game in the past, new roles and domains were developed. In fact, serious game genre is what leads this change. Because serious game is leading the game industry fast, centered on education, sports, fitness and medical use, its market value can be considered very significant since it can be both fund and effective as it targets the disabled who cannot enjoy sports easily in reality. Accordingly, this research seeks to present the direction for the application of serious game for the disabled people by analyzing the current situation pertaining to the integrated and converged cases applied to the field of sports for the disabled when it comes to the serious game that uses contents based on the IT technology.

Intellectual disability affects all spheres of the lives of people can be who suffer from it. Unfortunately, modern medicine cannot cure intellectual disability. However, the quality of life improved by means of physical exercise. In this study, we compared the health-related physical fitness, metabolic syndrome index and mental health between a game biking group(5 participants) and a brisk walking group(4 participants). This study used a between-subject design and verified by non-parametric test. The participants performed an exercise program with warm up and resistance training for 12 weeks. A game bike was used for the physically impaired, where the individual looked at a screen and pedaled. The fasters he pedaled the faster the object on the screen movies. We measured health-related physical fitness, metabolic syndrome index and mental health. We also measured their perceived exertion and interest during the exercise by a visual analog scale. The results before and after the exercise program showed that health-related physical fitness, metabolic risk factors, mental health level were improved in both groups. As we hypothesized before the study, the game biking group showed a statistically significantly different level on the Rating of Perceived Exertion than the brisk walking group and a higher level on the Rating of Exercise Interest during the exercise program. Our results lead to a conclusion that an exercise program with the use of a game bike improve motivation for exercise participation in intellectually handicapped participants.

This study examined the effects of clarification training on conversational breakdowns and repair strategies of 3 school aged children with ASD. Clarification training provided to the participants during playing the barrier games. The results found that the occurrence of conversational breakdown was decreased in terms of overall and types. The occurrence and appropriateness rates of repair strategies were increased among all participants. Based on the results, 'clarification training' used in this study can be an effective method to train children with ASD for appropriate repair strategies in conversation.

In this research, a chair type game controller has been developed. We implement pressure sensors on a chair so that user's whole body movements can be signalized. The signals linked to a game system. This process occurs a meaningful exercise effect. Because users can play exergame setting on the chair type game controller, it is reduces risk of physical injury such as falling down and the Joint pressure compared existing exergame controllers. Based on the advantages of seating, elderly and obese can be provided appropriate exergame.

This study explored the effects of neurofeedback on electroencephalogram, impulsivity, sensation seeking, game addiction symptoms and game craving of university students with game addiction symptoms. Twelve university students participated in this study, six were assigned to the experimental group, and the rest were assigned to the control group. The experiment group received 20 sessions of neurofeedback, but the control group received any treatment. The neurofeedback group showed more significant improvement in EEG, game addiction symptom severity and impulsivity than control group, and the improvements were maintained at follow up.

This study looks at the social implications of gaming disorder by considering the situation in Korea. Focusing on specificity of game genres, this study analyzed two aspects of the game playing effect-positive(cognitive needs) and negative(game addiction)-and suggested directions for game regulation policies and game addiction studies, since game playing effects are closely related to game regulatory policy. To analyze game effects and attitudes to regulations, this study performed regression analysis based on the online survey. Results show that game playing effects and attitudes toward game regulation differ based on the nature of game genres. While longer gaming increased the effect of addiction, it also increased cognitive needs. Playing roleplaying, Aeon of Strife, and strategy game genres(RAS), which are subject to game regulation, increased game addiction levels but simultaneously contributed to increased cognitive needs. While playing augmented reality genres positively affected cognitive needs, it also showed favorable attitudes to general game regulation.

Providing stable services has been a crucial factor to determine success or failure in current situations, in which online game industry has become one of the important industries. The study proposed a method of establishing a stable game servers using 'Hearbeat', one of the existing (load) balance server techniques for the enhancement of availability of online game servers. In the proposed method, one could provide users with stable game services, by inspecting master server frequently using stand-by servers corresponding to each game server.
