본 연구에서 면대면과 CMC상황에서 기저율과 개별정보를 통합해야하는 과제를 집단으로 결정하는 과제를 수행한 후, 집단 구성원들은 자신의 의견과 집단의 의견에 관해 다른 확신 수준을 보임을 발견하였다. 면대면 집단의 구성원이었던 사람들은 자신은 기저율과 개별정보를 둘 다 적게 사용하였지만 자신의 집단은 이 두 가지 정보를 모두 많이 사용하였다고, 지각하였으며, CMC집단의 구성원이었던 사람들은 자신과 자신의 집단이 유사한 정도로 기저율과 개별정보를 사용하였다고 지각하였다. 본 연구에서는 면대면 집단 조건에서는 집단 극화가 발생하였지만, CMC집단의 경우에는 오히려 억제되는 결과를 보였다. 이는 기존의 연구에 비추어 볼 때, 토론 시간의 부족에 기인한 것으로 고려되어지며, 추가 연구를 통해 더 많은 시간이 주어질 때 이 두 집단간에 어떠한 차이가 발생하는지 알아보고자 한다.

개념지식인 범주지식과 각본지식의 표상 차이를 검증하기 위해서 두 개의 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 1 에서는 상위 개념을 점화단어로 제시하고 하위 개념을 목표단어로한 명명과제를 실시하였다. 전형조건이 비형성조건에 비해서 명명시간이 빨랐다. 범주지식에서는 전형성의 효과가 관찰되었지만 각본지식에서는 전형성 효과가 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 2에서는 하위 개념을 점화단어로 제시하고 상위 개념을 목표단어로한 명명과제를 실시하였다. 범주지식이 각본지식에 비해서 명명시간이 빨랐으며, 범주지식에서는 전형성의 효과가 관찰되었지만 각본지식에서는 그 효과가 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 개념지식의 유형에 따라서 상위-하위 개념의 표상체계가 다르게 구성됨을 시사한다.

Imaging studies using MRI, PET, and/or MEG have been primary evaluation methods to quantitatively assess cognitive function. Recent advances in computational technology and information technology may allow a novel evaluation methodology to quantitate cognitive function more cost-effectively. In this study, we developed a software package composed of a series of tests to evaluate cognitive ability combined with a user-friendly touch screen input device. This cognitive assessment tool can quantitate concentration, numeric memory, associative memory, topological memory, visual and muscular reaction, and acoustic reaction over a relatively short testing time. We performed an empirical study on eighty normal subjects aged 20 and 59 years old using the developed evaluation methods. Age-related cognitive deterioration after 40 years old was confirmed. There was no difference in cognitive ability between male and female in the same age group. This study demonstrates the feasibility of a simple but effective evaluation software tool to quantitatively assess cognitive ability. This methodology may provide improved accessibility and reduced costs to perform cognitive function studies to compare between various subject groups.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among Exercising Activity, muscle mass, Muscular strength and cognitive function of 274 elderly people aged 65 years and older living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do As for the data collection methods, were measured the Exercising Activity, muscle mass and muscular strength and the Korean version of Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE-K) and digit span test were measured. The results are as follows First, there was a statistically significant correlation between Exercising activity, muscle mass, muscular strength, and cognitive function of the elderly. Second, Exercising activity of the elderly showed a positive (+) influence on muscle mass, muscular strength, and cognitive function. Third, the muscle mass of the elderly showed a statistically significant (+) influence on muscular strength and cognitive function. Fourth, the strength of the elderly showed a positive (+) influence on cognitive function.

High-performing athletes possess the ability to read the game, known as the "sports brain". However, a cognitive battery to measure such sports brain has not been developed yet. The purpose of the study, thus, is to develop a computerized cognitive test battery to measure athletes' cognitive function. Based on a systematic review, information processing speed, execution function, and spatial ability were selected as sports-related cognitive functions. Simple and choice response times test, trail-making test, Flanker test, and mental rotation task were developed. After providing manual and practice trials, main tests were executed and all primary variables were statistically processed and automatically saved. The test battery is expected to aid in the discovery and recruitment of athletes in the future after verifying the validity and reliability of this battery.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between the elderly's participation in exercise, cognitive function, and life satisfaction. The participants of this study consisted of 2491 elderly people who were the subjects of the 2017 elderly survey. The measuring tools were the cognitive function scale and the life satisfaction inventory. Participation in exercise used exercise time for one week. The collected data was analyzed through SPSS and AMOS 18 version. The results of this study were as follows. First, exercise participation was found to have a positive effect on the cognitive function of the elderly. Second, participation in exercise had significant effect on the life satisfaction of the elderly. Third, it was found that the cognitive function of the elderly had a positive effect on life satisfaction. Finally, it was found that cognitive function was as a mediator in the relationship between exercise participation and life satisfaction of the elderly. Various discussions on the structural relationship between the elderly's participation in exercise, cognitive function, and life satisfaction were presented.

Energy harvesting technique is an energy charging technique for communication device in energy-constrained environment. Recently, energy harvesting technique that harvests energy from wireless radio frequency signal is proposed. Representatively, there are time switching technique and power splitting technique. This paper proposes an optimal harvesting time allocation scheme in a wireless cognitive relay network when secondary user relay uses energy harvesting technique to transmit information. Secondary user relay receives information and energy simultaneously from the secondary user source's signal via time switching technique. We aim to maximize the instantaneous throughput by optimizing harvesting time of the secondary user relay. Simulation results show that using optimized harvesting time gets larger instantaneous throughput compared to using constant harvesting time.

This study intended to provide the inherent characteristics of weak pedestrian including walking speed and perception-reaction time and to propose pedestrian signal timing models considering those characteristics. To collect the relevant data, field studies were conducted in virtual crosswalk environments. Walking speed were found to be 0.63 m/s and 0.57 m/s for children and the elderly, respectively. However, the elderly had higher perception-reaction time than children. By considering these characteristics, two pedestrian signal timing models were developed. Sensitivity analysis results showed that the models can produce reasonable ranges of pedestrian signal time. The data in this paper can be used for future references, and the mobility of weak pedestrian may be improved by applying the models suggested in this paper.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate parental perspectives on cognitive rehabilitation using a combination of phenomenological research methodology and word cloud analysis. Methods : Interviews were conducted with five parents of children with developmental disabilities. Word cloud analysis was conducted using Python, and five researchers analyzed the meaning units and themes using phenomenological methods. Words with high frequency were considered as a heuristic tool. Results : A total of 43 meaning units and nine components related to the phenomenon of cognitive rehabilitation were derived, and three themes were finalized. The main themes encompassed the definition of cognitive rehabilitation, challenges associated with cognitive rehabilitation, and factors influencing the selection of a cognitive rehabilitation institute. Cognitive rehabilitation emerged as a treatment focused on improving learning, daily functioning, and cognitive abilities in children with developmental disabilities. The perceived issues with cognitive rehabilitation pertained to treatment methods, therapist expertise, and associated costs. In addition, parents highlighted the importance of therapist expertise, humane personality, and affordability of cost and schedule when choosing a cognitive rehabilitation institute. Conclusion : Parents expressed expectations for substantial improvements in their children's daily functioning through cognitive rehabilitation. However, challenges were identified in clinical practices. Going forward, we expect that cognitive rehabilitation will evolve into a better therapeutic support service addressing the concerns raised by parents.
