In this study the author examines the health information seeking behavior of older adults from the perspective of cognitive load. Using a qualitative method, based on ground theory, data were collected using in-depth interviews. Twenty-eight participants were participating older adults living in G community city, South Korea who experienced seeking health information. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a qualitative thematic coding framework. Three themes describing older adults' health information seeking behaviors were focused: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load. The findings are geared towards the context of older adults' information seeking to support an understanding of successful information seeking behaviors in this population and to contribute to their health and well-being. The intent is to present information on current research in the field of Library and Information Science and to demonstrate how a cognitive load approach can be used to address the problems of older adults' health information seeking behaviors.

Current theories of cross-language speech perception claim that patterns of perceptual assimilation of non-native segments to native categories predict relative difficulties in learning to perceive (and produce) non-native phones. Perceptual assimilation patterns by Japanese listeners of the three-way voicing distinction in Korean syllable-initial obstruent consonants were assessed directly. According to Speech Learning Model (SLM) and Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM), the resulting perceptual assimilation pattern predicts relative difficulty in discrimination between lenis and aspirated consonants, and relative ease in the discrimination of fortis. This study compared the effects of two different training conditions on Japanese adults’perceptual categorization of Korean three-way distinction. In one condition, participants were trained to discriminate lenis and aspirated consonants which were predicted to be problematic, whereas in another condition participants were trained with all three classes of 'learnability' did not seem to depend lawfully on the perceived cross-language similarity of Korean and Japanese consonants.

Despite the intense studies of face processing in the past few decades, we know little about what neural correlates are involved in the configural and featural face processing. The aim of the study was to find whether the neural correlates for configural and featural face processing is different and if so, where and how their neural correlates operate for the face recognition. We found inferior temporal gyrus

The objectives of this study are to find out the research methodology about misconception, the types of scientific concepts to be misconcepted the analysis methodology of causes of misconception, and remediation methodology of misconception. The research methods of this study are descriptive ques tionnare, interview, classroom observation and curriculum analysis. The results of this study are: ${\circ}$ The descriptive questionnaire is sufficient to obtain children's ideas. ${\circ}$ The types of science concepts to be misconcepted are 'the invisible natural phenomena,' 'the vague Understanding', 'the contents of teachers' lecture', 'the lack of children's cognitive development,'and 'the influence of nursery stories.' ${\circ}$ The Cause analysis methods of misconception are that the analysis of the cognitive level of the questionnaire items, the examining the item concepts are taught or not and the investigation about the agreement of the cognitive level of the questionnaire item and children. ${\circ}$ Remediation methods are visualijation and instrustion of invisible natural phenomena, concrete presentation of the scientific concepts, and acceleration of the cognitive development.

과학기술의 발전과 함께 인간형 서비스 로봇에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 서비스 로봇의 핵심 중의 하나는 인간과의 상호작용이라 할 수 있다. 자연스러운 상호작용을 위하여, 화자를 바라보고, 깨끗한 음성신호를 얻는 과정에서 음원의 위치 측정은 필연적이다. 본 논문은 마이크로폰에 도달되는 동일 신호의 도착시간지연(Time Delay of Arrival: TDOA) 특성 행렬을 정의하고, 이를 이용하여 공간상의 화자 위치 측정 방법론을 제안하였다. 휴머노이드 로봇의 머리에 마이크로폰 배열을 구성하였고, 실제 시스템을 통한 실험을 통하여 방향 검지 및 높이 구분을 실행하였다.

Speech shares acoustic features with other sound-based processing, which makes it difficult to distinguish phonological process from acoustic process in speech processing. In this study, we examined the difference between acoustic process and phonological process during repetition tasks. By contrasting various stimuli in different lengths, we localized neural correlates of acoustic process within bilateral superior temporal gyrus, which was consistent with the previous studies. The activated patterns were widely overlapped between words and pseudowords, i.e., contents-free. In contrast, phonological process showed left-lateralized activation in middle temporal gyrus located at anterior temporal areas. It implies that phonological process is contents-specific as shown in our previous study, and at the same time, more language-specific. Thus, we suggest that phonological process is distinguished from acoustic process in that it is always accompanied with the obligatory access to available phonological codes, which can be an entry of the mental lexicon.

In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of a cognitive relay network. We consider mutual interference in an independent, non-identically distributed Nakagmai-m fading environment. We first derive the close-form outage probability expression, which provides an efficient means to evaluate the effects of several parameters. This allows us to study the impact of several parameters on the network's performance. We then derive the asymptotic expression and reveal that the diversity order is strictly determined by the fading severity of the cognitive system. It is not affected by the primary network. Moreover, the primary network only affects the coding gain of the cognitive system. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are provided, which corroborate the analytical results.

Synapses and neural circuits form with exquisite specificity during brain development to allow the precise and appropriate flow of neural information. Although this property of synapses and neural circuits has been extensively investigated for more than a century, molecular mechanisms underlying this property are only recently being unveiled. Recent studies highlight several classes of cell-surface proteins as organizing hubs in building structural and functional architectures of specific synapses and neural circuits. In the present minireview, we discuss recent findings on various synapse organizers that confer the distinct properties of specific synapse types and neural circuit architectures in mammalian brains, with a particular focus on the hippocampus and cerebellum.

We investigated the cognitive frame of high school students and inservice high school science teachers about effective teaching method, and we also explored how they understood about the teaching methods suggested by the 2009 revised Science Curriculum. Data were collected from 275 high school science teachers and 275 high school students. We analyzed data in terms of the words and the cognitive frame using the Semantic Network Analysis. The results were as follows. First, the teachers perceived that an activity oriented class was the effective science class that helped improve students' problem-solving abilities and their inquiry skills. The students had the cognitive frame that their teacher had to present relevant and enough teaching materials to students, and that they should also receive assistance from teachers in science class to better prepare for college entrance exam. Second, both students and teachers retained the cognitive frame about the efficient science class that was not reflected 2009 revised Science Curriculum exactly. Especially, neither groups connected the elements of 'convergence' as well as 'integration' embedded across science subject areas to their cognitive frame nor cognized the fact that many science learning contents were closed related to one another. Therefore, various professional development opportunities should be offered so that teachers succinctly comprehend the essential features and the intents of the 2009 revised Science Curriculum and thereby implement it in their science lessons effectively.

본 연구는 MUSE 감성 코퍼스를 활용하여 문장의 극성과 키워드의 극성이 얼마만큼 일치하고 일치하지 않은지를 분석함으로써 특히 문장의 극성과 키워드의 극성이 불일치하는 유형에 대한 연구의 필요성을 역설하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위하여 DICORA에서 구축한 MUSE 감성주석코퍼스 가운데 IT 리뷰글 도메인으로부터 긍정 1,257문장, 부정 1,935문장을, 맛집 리뷰글 도메인으로부터는 긍정 2,418문장, 부정 432문장을 추출하였다. UNITEX를 이용하여 LGG를 구축한 후 이를 위의 코퍼스에 적용하여 나타난 양상을 살펴본 결과, 긍 부정 문장에서 반대 극성의 키워드가 실현된 경우는 두 도메인에서 약 4~16%의 비율로 나타났으며, 단일 키워드가 아닌 구나 문장 차원으로 극성이 표현된 경우는 두 도메인에서 약 25~40%의 비교적 높은 비율로 나타났음을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 키워드의 극성에 의존하기 보다는 문장과 키워드의 극성이 일치하지 않는 경우들, 가령 문장 전체의 극성을 전환시키는 극성전환장치(PSD)가 실현된 유형이나 문장 내 극성 어휘가 존재하지 않지만 구 또는 문장 차원의 극성이 표현되는 유형들에 대한 유의미한 연구가 수행되어야 비로소 신뢰할만한 오피니언 자동 분류 시스템의 구현이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있다.
