Visual scene contains lots of redundant information. To process this redundant information without increasing brain's volume, human visual system may summarize incoming information. If similar but different information are given to visual system, visual system extracts statistical properties of the information. One example of the statistical representation is representation of mean size. The mean representation is accurate and durable. The process of mean representation is suggested to be parallel. However, previous studies on the mean representation mostly used behavioral methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate which neural regions extracted the mean size of a set of circles using fMRI method. According to previous studies, BOLD signal of certain areas that were in charge of cousin stimuli decreased when the same stimuli presented repetitively. We used this paradigm and found that BOLD signal of right occipital area was decreased when same mean site was presented repeatedly. This results suggest that right occipital area is the locus of mean representation of visual stimuli.

This study examined the affective representation and response consistency among individuals using affective videos, a naturalistic stimulus inducing emotional experiences most similar to those in daily life. In this study, multidimensional scaling was conducted to investigate whether the various affective representations induced through video stimuli are located in the core affect dimensions. A cross-participant classification analysis was also performed to verify whether the video stimuli are well classified. Additionally, the newly developed intersubject correlation analysis was conducted to assess the consistency of affective representations across participant responses. Multidimensional scaling revealed that the video stimuli are represented well in the valence dimension, partially supporting Russell (1980)'s core affect theory. The classification results showed that affective conditions were successfully classified across participant responses. Moreover, the intersubject correlation analysis showed that the consistency of affective representations to video stimuli differed with respect to the condition. This study suggests that the affective representations and consistency of individual responses to affective videos varied across different affective conditions.

This study examined affective representation by analyzing physiological responses measured using wearable devices and affective ratings in response to emotional videos. To achieve this aim, a published dataset was reanalyzed using multidimensional scaling to demonstrate affective representation in two dimensions. Cross-participant classification was also conducted to identify the consistency of emotional responses across participants. The accuracy and misclassification in each emotional condition were described by exploring the confusion matrix derived from the classification analysis. Multidimensional scaling revealed that the represented objects, namely, emotional videos, were positioned along the rated valence and arousal vectors, supporting the core affect theory (Russell, 1980). Vector fittings of physiological responses also showed the associations between heart rate acceleration and low arousal, increased heart rate variability and negative and high arousal, and increased electrodermal activity and negative and low arousal. Using the data of behavioral and physiological responses across participants, the classification results revealed that emotional videos were more accurately classified than the chance level of classification. The confusion matrix showed that awe, enthusiasm, and liking, which were categorized as positive, low arousal emotions in this study, were less accurately classified than the other emotions and were misclassified for each other. Through multivariate analyses, this study confirms the core affect theory using physiological responses measured through wearable devices and affective ratings in response to emotional videos.

Lee Sang's poems and his portraits are being used in various video media. Depending on the characteristics of the medium and genre, the representation of the poet or higher and his poems are selected and variations in different ways. In a modern era where literature communicates with various media, reviewing how a poet's portrait is shaped is also the process of reading what text wants to convey to the public through a single person. This study examined aspects in which representations of poets or higher were utilized in various image media, and compared and analyzed how poet aberrations are represented in each text. In particular, the discussion centered on the movie and the drama . In the movie , the above poem is used as a hidden puzzle. The film uses the popularly known 'genius' representation to track down Yi Sang's secret. Because of this, the film represents its ideal in a way that is faithful to the genre's custom of Thriller In comparison, the drama was about to re-emerge as a young man with a passion for the inner workings. The cynical attitude shown in the above text is also a reflection of the love for the nation and the times. These different typographical methods are worth noting in terms of the literary man's public perception of "Yi-sang" and the strategy of the new portrait attempt.

The purpose of the study is to analyze children's proportional reasoning and problem solving in proportional problems with/without iconic representations. Proportional problems include 3 tasks such as (a) without any picture, (b) with simple picture, and (c) with/without iconic representation. As a result, children didn't show any significant differences in two tasks such as (a) and (b). However, children showed better proportional reasoning with iconic representation. In addition, 'build-up expression' strategy was used mostly in solving problems and 'additive strategy' was shown as an error which students didn't make an appropriate proportional relation expression and they made a wrong additive strategy.

A goal of this study is figuring out how fraction learning centered on various representation activities influences the fraction comprehension and mathematical attitudes. The study focused on 33 4th-grade students of B elementary school in Seoul. In the study, 15 fraction learning classes comprising enactive, iconic, and symbolic representations took place over 6 weeks. After the classes, the ratio of the students who achieved relational understanding increased and the students averagely recorded 90 pt or more on the fraction comprehension test I, II and III. Two-dependent samples t-test was conducted to analyze a significant difference in mathematical attitudes between pre-test and post-test. On the test result, there was the meaningful difference with 0.01 level of significance. To conclude, the fraction learning centered on various representation activities improves students' relational understanding and fraction understanding. In addition, the fraction learning centered on various representation activities gives positive influences on mathematical attitudes since it increases learning orientation, self-control, interests, value cognition, and self-confidence of the students and decreases fears of the students.

This study analyzed changes of representations which had come up in the problem-solving process of math-gifted 6th grade students that ACODESA had been applied. The class was designed on a ACODESA procedure that enhancing the use of varied representations, and conducted for 40minutes, 4 times over the period. The recorded videos and interviews with the students were transcribed for analysing data. According to the result of the analysis, which adopted Despina's using type of representation, there appeared types of 'adding', 'elaborating', and 'reducing'. This study found that there is need for a class design that can make personal representations into that of public through small group discussions and confirmation in the problem-solving process.

The purpose of this study was to understand students' representational competence while they engaged in learning in geological field trips with scientific models and modeling(Mt. Gwanak and the Hantan-river were formed). Ten students agreed to participate in this study voluntarily. They were attending the Institute of Gifted Education in the Seoul Metropolitan area. The data were collected for all students' activities during field trips and modeling activities using simultaneous video and voice recording, the interview after classes, written data(note) made by the students. The analysis framework that distinguished levels of representational competence and added the resulting interpretation with the final models in the process of scientific models. Results suggested that representational competence levels varied from one to six. However, students showed relatively low levels of representational competence in outdoor learning environments than indoor learning environments. In other words, it began with a relatively low level of representational competence in outdoor class. Then students developed a higher level of representational competence indoor class. Ultimately, we need to understand students' representational competence implies a tool to explain phenomena in the process of modeling activities.

This study examines the way poetry text is inserted in dramas and the way poets represent themselves through the drama "The climax" (2011). The drama features Lee Yuk-sa, a poet and independence activist, as a central figure and chooses a narrative structure that follows his life. The drama maximizes the lyricity and visual beauty of the drama by inserting his poems with fantastic images at the most dramatic moments of the poet's life. The image presented with the poem maximizes Lee Yuk-sa's intense hardship, while portraying the poem as a crystal of this hardship. Thus, the drama "The climax" uses Lee Yuk-sa's poetry to visualize the inner world of the central character Lee Yuk-sa. Lee Yuk-sa's poems are used in conjunction with his image to simultaneously represent the beauty of poetry and the upright spirit of the poet. This is the result of a balanced portrayal of Yi Yuk-sa, a poet and independence activist, as an intellectual who acts. The drama "The climax" is the main text that sincerely performed the representations of poems and poets through video.
