From the biopsychological point of view,learning could be defined as the processes to transfer the information that we obtain from environment to the neural circuits in the brain.In the studies to determine the biological substrates of learning and memory,there was a remarkable effort to identify neural circuits related with a specific type of learning and to describe the mechanixm of neural plasticity of learning and memory,under the assumption that the memory orinformation may be stored as a modificationof neural synapes in the central nerviys system.On the other hand,there was a different kind of tendency to analyze the mechanism of interactions between neural substrates involved in learning and memory,under the assumption that a specific information may be represented in the patterns of comples neural network of the central nervous system.The present review,in the former position.focused on the research methods and the chracteristics and finding of the investigations employing animal model systems to indentify the essential site of engram for learning and memory.Specifically,the review presents major advances in ourunderstanding of the memory trace circuit for a specific type of learning,with the use of animal model system,the detemination of the critical lodi of neuaral plastic chabges In learing abd memory,and the neurophysiological an biocemical mechanixms of the neural modifia by learint.

This paper is to develop teaching procedures of low achievers in mathematics by using mindmaps. For this, we firstly set the teaching process on basis of literature research. And then we choose four subjects who had serious problems of both memory and mathematics achievement. we also choose the several topics of geometry and measure which could be a big burden of memory as stuff for mindmap activities. The results led us to that using mindmap activities in learning and teaching mathematics could effect on that kind of students' mathematical achievement and mathematical attitude as well as retention of mathematical concepts. It implied that we could develop individual programs for students who have different problems in learning mathematics.

In this paper, active shape control of composite structures actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is presented. The thermo-mechanical behaviors of SMA wires were experimentally measured. Hybrid composite structures were established by attaching SMA actuators on the surfaces of graphite/epoxy composite beams using bolt-joint connectors. SMA actuators were activated by phase transformation, which induced by temperature rising over austenite finish temperature. In this paper, electrical resistive heating was applied to the hybrid composite structures to activate the SMA actuators. For (aster and more accurate shape/deflection control of the hybrid composite structure, PID feedback controller was designed from numerical simulations and experimentally applied to the SMA actuators.

여러 분야에서 다양한 목적으로 인간처럼 생각하는 시스템을 구현하고자 하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 인간의 뇌에서 기억을 담당하는 부분은 시각, 청각, 촉각 등의 감각 정보를 이용하여 새로 들어온 정보가 이미 기억된 정보와 같은가를 비교하여 기존 기억에 적용시키거나 새로운 정보로 기억시킨다. 기존의 모델은 ART를 사용하여 그것을 구현하고 반복 학습되지 않는 정보는 잊혀져 버리는 것과 강한 자극과 함께 입력된 정보는 반복 학습되지 않아도 잊혀지지 않는 것이었다. 그 모델을 이용할 경우 모든 감각에 대한 정보들이 전부 한 번에 처리되었기 때문에 감각별로 정보를 차등적으로 조절하여 처리하기가 곤란하였다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 개선하기 위해 기존의 ART를 이용한 모델에서 감각 정보를 비교하는 과정을 퍼지 규칙을 도입한 방법으로 교체하고자 한다. 우선 입력받는 감각 정보의 여러 값들을 감각 별로 그룹화 한 후 그룹별로 퍼지 규칙을 이용하여 비교한다. 기억된 정보들을 퍼지 규칙으로 하고 입력된 정보를 이용하여 각각의 규칙에 대한 결과를 낸다. 이 모델에서는 퍼지를 사용하여 기억된 정보에 대한 이해가 쉽고, 기억된 정보를 이용할 때 규칙을 조절하여 적용하는 것으로 상황에 따라 필요한 감각 정보를 알맞게 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

사람들은 같은 상황에서도 감정적 경험에 따라 다르게 반응한다. 상황에 따른 감정을 나타내고자 하는 인공감정에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있지만, 기존의 인공감정들은 같은 상황에서 같은 반응을 하도록 설계되었다. 하지만 현재 느끼는 감정이 과거에 경험했던 감정적 경험에 영향을 받기 때문에 같은 상황에서 다른 반응을 유발한다. 본 논문은 감정적 경험을 기억해서 현재의 감정에 영향을 주는 메커니즘을 제안한다. 감정적 기억은 연관성이 있는 기억끼리 연상되는데 이 과정은 SOM의 연관성이 있는 것끼리 뭉치면서 스스로 학습하는 자기조직화의 특성과 유사하다. 이러한 유사점을 이응해서 감정적 경험을 기억하는 과정을 설계했다. 제안된 방법을 가위바위보로 승자가 패자를 뿅망치로 때리는 게임에 적용하여 같은 상황에서도 감정적 경험에 의해 다르게 반응하는 모습을 나타낸다. 게임을 진행하면서 가위바위보 승패에 따라 분노, 공포, 쾌락 등의 감정을 경험하게 되는데 이러한 감정적 경험이 SOM을 이용한 감정기억메커니즘에 의해 기억된다. 그 결과 감정적 경험에 대한 기억이 가위바위보에 이겼을 때의 느끼는 감정에 영향을 주어 현재 느끼는 감정 상태에 따라 뿅망치 파워가 달라지도록 했다.

The study was designed to investigate implicit and explicit memory for words with processing theory.From experiment 1 to experiment 3,in a study phase,subjects first viewed stimulus words and were required to rate likeness of words of semantic processing task and to count lines of words of perceptual processing task.In a test phase,subjects were tested by implicit word completion task and explicit cued recall task.In experiment 1,levels of processing (LOP)effects were examined.Lop effects were obtained on the explicit memory tasks but not on the implicit memory tasks.In experiment 2,repertition of perceptual processing task influenced onlu implicit memory task.In experiment 3,bepertiotion of semantic processing task affected both implicit memory task and explicit memory task.These findings suggest that repetition effect of stimulus words are explanied better in dual process theory than transfer-appropriate processing theory.

Death and the Maiden(1990), by the Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman, directly addresses the issue of liquidating the past that the transient democratic government of Patricio Aylwin faced, the government established right after the end of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. This article focuses on analyzing the aspects of conflicts and discords between memories of individuals as reflected in the conversations between characters of the play. For example. we look into the effects of traumatic memories of Paulina, tortured and raped by the past government, on her everyday life and examine the relationship between her personal memory and the collective memory. We also look into the discourse of the dominating memory through the confession of the rapist doctor Roberto, and observe how Gerardo, a lawyer appointed as a member of the investigation committee, exposes the truth of the case and mediates the conflict of the memories between the two characters. We uncover the problems inherent in the state memory as it tries to intervene in the strife in memories between assailants and victims and explore the possibility that the concept of memory deterritorialization would be an alternative to overcome these problems.

This study investigated the song-induced autobiographical memory of patients with early Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) by comparing the effects of patient-selected songs (M-AD) versus music therapist-selected songs (M-MT). A total of 19 patients with early AD participated in this study. In the M-AD and M-MT conditions, each participant listened to a song and was instructed to recall memory. The time to recall memory, the specificity of the memory, mood changes, and the type of recalled memory were measured. Perceived familiarity and preference of the used songs and association of the song with the recalled memory were also analyzed. The results of the study showed that the M-AD condition elicited more specific memory and positive mood change than the M-MT condition. In addition, AD patients reported a higher level of familiarity with and preference of songs in the M-AD condition, compared to the M-MT condition. These results indicate that patient-selected songs, which have a personal meaning to an individual, could be effectively used for intervening with memory of this population, which would support music therapists to make better decision with regard to song selection. Further studies would be needed to deepen the understanding of autobiographical memory in older population with cognitive impairment and to propose more effective music therapy strategies for intervening with memory.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between memory belief, depression and cognitive functioning for stroke patients. A total of 88 subjects were participated in this study and the questionnaire was composed with general characteristics and K-MoCA, Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Memory Self Efficacy Qestionnaire(MSEQ), Memory Controllability Inventory(MCI). The results showed that, for the memory self efficacy by general characteristics, there were significant differences in terms of level of education, living and economic status, the number of onset of stroke (p<.05), the memory controllability showed significant differences in economic status (p<.05), and the depression showed significant differences in onset duration of stroke (p<.05), and the cognitive functioning showed significant differences in gender, age, education, living condition, and the number of onset of stroke (p<.05). In addition, there was a significant correlation between memory self efficacy and memory controllability, depression, and cognitive functioning (p<.05). Memory controllability was correlated with depression (p<.01), depression was correlated with cognitive functioning (p<.01). Memory self efficacy, memory controllability and depression were found to be factors, affecting the cognitive functioning (p<.05). Based on this results, it is recommended to develop a multifaceted rehabilitation program in order to induce the positive mood, to reduce the negative emotions such as depression and to promote the memory belief about recovery of cognitive functioning.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the sex differences in episodic memory and spatial cognition in healthy young adults. Methods : Forty-eight undergraduates (male=24, female=24) were assessed for sex differences using the visual stimuli episodic memory task and the virtual reality-based spatial cognition task. The accuracy rates (%) for the What, Where, and When conditions of the episodic memory task and the average distance error (cm) for 10 trials of the spatial cognition task were analyzed. Results : There were no significant sex differences between the three conditions. The male participants showed a significantly higher performance on the spatial cognition task than the female participants Conclusion : The results of this study indicated that the sex differences in episodic memory could be altered by the test methods. Although episodic memory and spatial cognition mainly depend on the hippocampus, the sex-related differences between the two functions were inconsistent, suggesting that these two functions are independent.
