The purpose of this study was to identity the differences of creativity according to levels of attentional abilities in young children. The participants of this study were 204 5-year-old children from the kindergarten or daycare center in Busan. The tests was conducted by using ANT and TTCT for young children. The study used two independent t-tests to find out the differences of creativity between high and low young children of degrees of alertness, orientation and executive control. The results of the study are as follows; first, there was a significant difference in creativity, abstractness of titles, and elaboration between high and low young children of varying degrees of alertness. Second, there was not a significant difference in creativity between high and low young children of orientation. Third, there was a significant difference in creativity; fluency, originality, elaboration and resistance to premature closure between high and low young children of the executive control. Therefore, there was a close relation between attentional control abilities, especially the executive control and creativity of young children.

본 연구에서는 다양한 연령대의 운전자 집단(대학생, 중년 및 고령운전자)에 따라 주의능력 및 외부환경 적응능력에 대한 주관적 역량평가와 운전이동성 사이의 관련성에 차이가 있는지, 그리고 이러한 관련성이 운전자들의 동기특성에 따라 차별적으로 달라질 수 있는지 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 운전자의 연령 증가에 따라 주관적 운전역량 평가 수준이 낮아지는 경향이 있었고, 특히 외부환경 적응능력에 대한 평가는 고령운전자 집단뿐만 아니라 중년운전자 집단에게서도 낮아질 수 있다는 것이 관찰되었다. 둘째, 주의능력에 대한 주관적 평가는 세 개의 운전자 집단 모두에서 운전이동성을 정적으로 예측하였으나 외부환경 적응능력은 고령운전자 집단에서만 이러한 관련성이 관찰되었다. 셋째, 대학생운전자 집단과 중년운전자 집단의 경우 두 가지 동기특성 중 접근동기만이 정적으로 운전이동성을 예측하였으나, 고령운전자 집단의 경우는 회피동기만이 부적으로 운전이동성을 예측하였다. 넷째, 중년운전자 집단의 경우에는 접근동기 수준이 높고 주의능력에 대한 주관적 평가가 높을수록 운전이동성이 증가하였으나, 고령운전자 집단의 경우는 회피동기 수준이 높고 자신의 외부환경 적응능력이 저하되어 있다고 평가할수록 운전이동성이 유의하게 낮아지는 경향이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 운전자의 운전이 동성에 미치는 주관적 운전역량 평가와 동기특성의 효과가 운전자의 연령대별로 차별화될 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

Many daily activities require people to complete a motor task while walking. Substantial gait decrements during simultaneous attention to a variety of cognitive tasks have been shown by a group of severely injured neurological patients of mixed etiology. And previous studies have shown that the attentional load of a walking-associated task increased with its level of difficulty. The purpose of this study was to analyze subjects' gait changes are affected by the effects of arithmetic task difficulty and performance level. Participants performed a walking task alone, three different Arithmetic tasks while seated, and among them, two kinds of the simillar Arithmetic tasks in combination with walking. Reaction time and accuracy were recorded for two of the Arithmetic tasks. The mean values of the gait were measured using a Timed Up and Go test among 11 with post-stroke patients while walking with and without forward counting (WFC) and backward counting(WBC).There was significant Arithmetic Task Difficulty level between the 10-forward counting task condition(FC) and the 10-backward counting task condition(BC)(p=0.008). The mean values of T.U.G time were significantly higher under backward counting dual-task condition than during a simple walking task(p=0.009) and WFC(p=0.009). The change in T.U.G time during WFC was higher when compared with the change during a simple walking, but there was no significant difference (p=0.246). This study suggesting that a high interference could be linked with a high level of difficulty, whereas adaptive task enabled participants to perfectly share their attention between two concurrent tasks. Future research should determine whether dual task training can reduce gait decrements in dual task situations in people after stroke. And the dual-task-based exercise program is feasible and beneficial for improving walking ability in subjects with stroke.
