This study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive-motor interaction-based instrument playing on the early social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Nine children with ASD, averaging 5.6 years of age, participated in twelve individual sessions lasting 30 minutes each. The intervention comprised five stages: self-regulation, motivation to engage in social interaction, acceptance of a partner in co-playing activities, interpersonal coordination with a partner, and engagement in joint music playing. To evaluate changes in early social skills, joint attention and social interaction behaviors were observed, and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) was administered pre- and post-intervention. Social synchronization was measured through a dyadic drum task, measuring synchronization accuracy, duration, and timing. Following the intervention, all nine children demonstrated increased early social behaviors, although there were no significant differences in SRS scores. Moreover, synchronized movement improved significantly in accuracy and maintained duration but not in reaction time. This study highlights the significance of recognizing the cognitive-motor interplay as crucial element in facilitating early social skills development in children with ASD.

Cognitive decline in aging is known to yield detrimental effects in syntactic processing and working memory capacity is the most crucial cognitive function in understanding older adults' sentence processing skills. This study examined how young and older adults utilize contextual information while resolving NP-attached Ps vis word-by-word self-paced reading paradigm. In addition, the study asked which cognitive functions play roles on the use of a NP-supporting context during processing of NP-attached PP. When NP-attached PP was presented in a supporting context, both age groups performed faster than in the null context condition. Among different cognitive functions, alternating attention skills were correlated with the ability utilizing context during syntactic ambiguity resolution and working memory capacity was not found to be crucial for this study. In conclusion, this study suggests that aging does not always affect older adults' syntactic processing negatively and relevant cognitive function may vary depending on the type of syntactic structure.

감미료는 감각을 만족시키는 기능을 가지며, 에너지를 공급하는 영양적 감미료와 에너지를 공급하지 않는 비 영양적 감미료로 분류 될 수 있다. 영양적 감미료들은(설탕, 과당 등) 미국 식약청에서는 일반적으로 안전하다고 인식(generally recognized as safe, GRAS) 되고 있다. 그러나 감미료 섭취는 적절한 영양섭취와 건강과 관련하여 아직 많은 우려를 가지고 있다. 첨가당으로부터의 에너지 섭취가 총 에너지 섭취의 25% 이상이면 식사의 질(quality)이 낮아진다. 지난 수 십 년 간, 당 섭취가 행동적인 면에 부정적으로 작용한다는 많은 이론들이 대두되었다. 그러나 포도당은 뇌의 주요 에너지원이다. 포도당의 기억력 향상기능은 모든 연령에서 보고되었으며, 특히 젊은 층보다는 노인에서 더 효과적이었다. 특히 적당량으로 섭취하였을 때 포도당의 섭취는 단어기억, 이야기 기억, 24시간 전에 학습한 정보에 대한 기억, 경계(vigilance)의 향상, 반응시간의 단축, 정신적 계산 능력의 향상, 시뮬레이터 조절에서의 실수감소, 스투르프효과(Stroop effect)의 감소, 지능검사의 향상, 실제사건에 대한 기억력 검사와 웩슬러 척도(Wechsler Scale)에서의 향상과 같은 여러 인지능력 검사에서 좋은 영향을 미친다고 한다. 포도당 용액과 간식의 섭취는 기억력을 개선한다. 아침식사를 거르는 것은 아동들에서 낮은 학습능력을 보인다. 인지능력 변화와 관련 있는 식이는 뇌에 포도당을 공급하는 것과 관련 있다. 과당도 동물실험에서 기억력을 향상시키는 기능이 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 본 논문은 당 섭취가 인지능력에 미치는 영향에 대한 과학적인 연구들을 종합하여 정리한 것이다.

애드혹 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 상호작용 미들웨어는 컨텍스트의 변화에 따라 애플리케이션간의 상호작용을 재구성할 수 있도록 지원해야 한다. 또한 미들웨어는 컨텍스트 인지 상호작용을 지원하는데 있어 컨텍스트 종류나 애플리케이션들 혹은 환경의 다양성에 따라 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응성을 동적으로 변화시킬 수 있도록 기능을 제공해야 한다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응성을 변화시키는 이러한 요소들에 대해 고려하지 않으며 그로 인해 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응 정도를 정적으로 설정함으로써 컨텍스트 인지 상호작용을 지원하는데 있어 경우에 따라 오버헤드가 발생하거나 컨텍스트 변화에 빠르게 대응하지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구는 애드혹 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 동작하는 Publish/Subscribe 기반의 상호작용 미들웨어에서 이벤트 중계의 정확성과 컨텍스트 변화 적응성간의 관계를 기반으로 다양한 컨텍스트 종류나 사용자, 환경에 따라 이벤트 중계의 정확도를 동적으로 조절하는 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 이를 기반으로 이벤트 중계 정보를 동적으로 재구성하여 컨텍스트에 맞춰 효율적으로 컨텍스트 인지 상호작용을 구성할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 비교 분석 결과 기존 연구에 비해 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응성에서 더 나은 결과를 보여주었다.

Objectives：This study was done as a part of investigating individual and socioenvironmental factors affecting test anxiety in adolescent. The focusing of this study was detecting specific family enviromental factors affecting worry and emotionality of test anxiety. Methods：The subjects of this study were 880 middle and high school students in Seoul, Korea. To evaluate test anxiety level, Spielberger's Test Anxiety Inventory was applied and to evaluate familial factor, Moos and Moos' Family Environmental Scale was done. Results：The results were as follows. 1) Total and worry part of test anxiety scores were negatively correlated with cohesion and independence scores. Total, worry, and emotional part of test anxiety scores were positively correlated with achievement orientation and control scores. 2) High test anxiety group showed higher achievement orientation and control scores, and lower cohesion scores than low test anxiety group. 3) The higher socioeducational level of parents were, the higher three subscale (cohesion, independence, and achievement orientation) scores were, except control score. Conclusion：In therapeutic approach of adolescent's test anxiety, the importance of education and treatment of their parents should be emphasized. Parents should set their children's appropriate achievement goal, encourage their children's independency instead of control. Cohesion of familial members are also needed.

This thesis looks closely at the moderating effect of individual variables while we analyzed how corporate's ethics policies have influence on his ethical decision-making behaviors. The subjects of the research were full-time employees (n=211) in the Seoul metropolitan region. The research model was substantiated through statistical analysis of credibility and validity, correlation, variance, and moderated regression analysis (MRA). This study found that within an organization with a code of ethics, the level of enforcement of the code and the level of employee awareness of core values sought by the company determined the level of influence of the code on ethical decision making. In other words, internal factors exerted a greater influence than external evaluation of a corporation's ethical decision making practices and therefore, it is necessary for decision-making practices to be transparent and recognized by the members within an organization. The study also found that the employee's awareness about the long-term visions of the company at a higher level and the employees who have a locus of control to their members internally acted as independent variables as well as control variables on the ethical decision-making. In addition, there were great differences in the level of ethical decision-making among the variables used as controls, which means these differences were related to the individual variables. Accordingly, in order to get ethical decision-making practices at a higher level, a education & training program will be designed and implemented variously as considering on the particular characteristics of the control variables we used in this study.

This study examines the effect of social capital formed on B to B inter - firm transactions on firm's performance through a research model developed around the mediating effect of knowledge absorption capacity. In other words, we examined how each level of social capital affects firm performance. by examining the dimensions of social capital that are not presented in previous studies, we have identified how each element of social capital affects corporate performance. in addition, the effects of knowledge absorption on firm performance are analyzed and presented in various ways. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, social capital is divided into three dimensions. In other words, the relationship between structural elements, relational dimensions, and cognitive dimensions was verified. First, the structural dimension influenced the relational dimension, and the relational dimension had a positive effect on the cognitive dimension. this is meaningful in that it solved what is pointed out as a limit in previous studies. this is meaningful in that it verified what was pointed out as a limit in previous studies. secondly, the structural dimension influenced the cognitive dimension. Second, each component of social capital has a positive impact on knowledge absorption capacity. Finally, it was found that knowledge absorption capacity had a positive effect on the corporate culture, and it was confirmed that knowledge absorption capacity was important. the extent to which social capital is absorbed in BtoB transactions means that the performance of the two companies can be quite different.

While online shopping has been increased expeditiously, a significant portion of purchasing intention has not been converted into actual purchasing behavior without delay in online space. This study investigates the factors causing a delay in online purchasing decision even after purchasing intention has been formed. It identifies the uncertainty variables (information, psychological, and preference uncertainties) related to consumer needs and the situational variables (time pressure and past purchase experience) surrounding the purchasing transaction. Furthermore, the need for cognitive closure is proposed to moderate the relationships between uncertainty/situational variables and the purchasing behavior. The results show that the uncertainties and situational factors significantly influence purchasing delay. Also, the need for cognitive closure indeed works as a moderator between the uncertainty variables and the purchasing behavior. Practical and academic implications of these findings are also discussed.
