This study developed compression pants with excellent wearability and signal quality by approaching the design of wireless sEMG monitoring pants from the perspective of technical design, including the evaluation of wearability and the stable wireless transmission of signals through electrode and circuit design, and using e-textiles. An electrode, sewn with silver thread and a circuit stitched in a zigzag pattern using stainless steel wire, were applied. Additionally, polyurethane sealing tape was used to enhance adherence to the skin and reduce electrical resistance. Conductive snaps completed the design, allowing attachment and detachment to the bio-signal acquisition mainboard. Through the subjects' evaluation, it was determined that the final pants were applied with a pattern reduction rate of 25% to provide superior comfort according to different body parts while also minimizing skin irritation around the thigh circuit. The final pants for wireless sEMG monitoring, which demonstrated stable transmission of wireless measurements, was positively evaluated in terms of cognitive acceptability. This study is significant in that it achieved an optimal design by considering both technical aspects and the electrical characteristics of bio-signal monitoring garments, as well as the wearer's perception when designing smart wear.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-monitoring on spontaneously initiating speech behavior of the hearing-impaired preschoolers. Three hearing-impaired preschoolers were selected from a special school for the deaf. They showed some vocalizations and words under intensive instruction settings, but never spontaneously spoke as a means of communication. Multiple probe design was applied in this study. During the self-monitoring intervention, each child was trained to assess whether his own initiating speech behavior was occurred or not, and then record his own behavior's occurrence on the self-recording sheets and self-graphing sheets. The vibration of handphone was used as a tactile cue for self-monitoring. The results of the present study were as follows: (1) self-monitoring significantly increased the percentage of occurrence of spontaneously initiating speech behaviors. (2) Increased level of spontaneously initiating speech behavior were generalized into another natural instruction (cognitive) settings. (3) Increased level of spontaneously initiating speech behavior were maintained after four weeks from the termination of the intervention.

메타인지적 모니터링은 자신의 인지 활동을 점검하고 평가하는 고차원적 인지과정이며, 인지과정에 대한 정확한 이해는 효율적인 통제를 가능하게 만든다. 신경학적으로 모니터링과 관련된 뇌 영역은 전 전두피질(PFC)로 이 영역은 발달 상 가장 늦게 완성되는 것으로 알려져 왔으며, 이는 모니터링 능력이 청소년 후기에도 발달 중에 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구에서는 메타인지적 정확성을 평가하는 방법 중 하나인 학습에 대한 판단(JOL)을 측정함으로써 대학생과 고등학생에서 나타나는 발달상의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 인천 소재의 하늘고등학교 학생 58명과 수원 소재 아주대학교 학생 60명이 실험에 참가하였으며, 참가자들은 스페인어와 한국어 쌍으로 제시된 단어를 학습한 후 향후 기억 수행에 대한 판단을 하였다(JOL). 실제 점수와 예상점수(JOL)의 차를 중심으로 모니터링 정확성을 평가한 결과, 두 집단 모두 자신의 점수를 실제 점수보다 더 높다고 생각하는 과잉확신(overconfidence)을 보였다. 또한, 실제 정답과 예상 점수가 떨어진 정도(absolute bias)를 측정한 결과 대학생 집단에 비해 고등학생 집단에서 모니터링의 정확성이 유의미하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 문항의 난이도에 따라 모니터링 점수를 비교해 본 결과 쉬운 문항에 비해 어려운 문항에서 더 과잉 확신하며 모니터링의 정확도가 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 경향은 고등학생 집단에서 더 두드러지게 나타났으며, 특히 어려운 과제를 할 때 고등학생 집단이 대학생 집단에 비해 자신의 현재 상태를 정확하게 판단하지 못하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 정확한 모니터링을 통한 학습판단은 적절한 학습전략을 선택하는데 매우 중요한 요소이므로 고등학생 집단의 모니터링 향상을 위한 방안의 모색이 필요하다.

인지는 더 이상 개인 내적인 과정으로 개념화 할 수 없으며 학습 또한 마찬가지이다. 협동 및 상호작용에 대한 정보처리적 이해는 아직 부족한 실정인데, 본 논문에서는 학습의 개념이 어떻게 변화해 왔는지 그리고 협동의 과정이 어떠한 정보처리 기제에 의해서 매개되는지 살펴보았다. 협동학습의 주요 인지적 기제로 자원 공유, 구성적 학습 활동의 촉진, 지식 공동 구성, 및 모니터링과 조절 지원을 들 수 있는데, 이들 기제는 학습자 집단을 둘러싼 동기적, 환경적 기제와 상호작용하면서 협동학습의 결과물을 만들어 내는데 기여한다. 테크놀로지의 발달은 협동의 기회를 더욱 확장하고 있는데, 테크놀로지가 협동학습에 제공하는 기능을 7개의 어포던스를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 협업에 대한 보다 정교한 이해를 바탕으로 할 때 협업에 따르는 비용을 줄이면서 협동이 제공하는 다양한 학습 효과를 누리는 것은 물론 협업을 지원하는 효과적인 도구를 개발하는 것이 가능해질 것으로 기대된다.

Language is one aspect of cognition, along with attention and concentration, learning and memory, visuospatial abilities, and executive function. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of language intervention by cognitive approach on language expressive performance in a patient with conduction aphasia. This study used several tasks such as Attention and concentration task, visual memory tasks, memory tasks, categorization, divergent thinking, self-monitoring and evaluate thinking. The effects of treatment were evaluated by periodic probing of both trained and untrained familiar words in three tasks; picture naming, answering to questions and telling stories. The results showed improvements both in trained and untrained words. Therefore, we concluded that expressive language performance of this aphasic patient is amenable to this intervention, and that cognitive therapy approach can be useful.

This paper reviews studies on information searching behavior in process control systems and discusses some implications learned from previous studies for use in human factors studies on nuclear power plants (NPPs) main control rooms (MCRs). Information searching behavior in NPPs depends on expectancy, value, salience, and effort. The first quantitative scanning model developed by Senders for instrument panel monitoring considered bandwidth (change rate) of instruments as a determining factor in scanning behavior. Senders' model was subsequently elaborated by other researchers to account for value in addition to bandwidth. There is also another type of model based on the operator's situation awareness (SA) which has been developed for NPP application. In these SA-based models, situation-event relations or rules on system dynamics are considered the most significant factor forming expectancy. From the review of previous studies it is recommended that, for NPP application, (1) a set of symptomatic information sources including both changed and unchanged symptoms should be considered along with bandwidth as determining factors governing information searching (or visual sampling) behavior; (2) both data-driven monitoring and knowledge-driven monitoring should be considered and balanced in a systematic way; (3) sound models describing mechanisms of cognitive activities during information searching tasks should be developed so as to bridge studies on information searching behavior and design improvement in HMI; (4) the attention-situation awareness (A-SA) modeling approach should be recognized as a promising approach to be examined further; and (5) information displays should be expected to have totally different characteristics in advanced control rooms. Hence much attention should be devoted to information searching behavior including human-machine interface (HMI) design and human cognitive processes.

The ZigBee network has been considered to monitor electricity usage of home appliances in the smart grid network. ZigBee, however, may suffer from a coexistence problem with wireless local area network (WLAN). In this paper, to resolve the coexistence problem between ZigBee network and WLAN, we propose a new protocol constructing a cognitive smart grid network for supporting monitoring of home appliances. In the proposed protocol, home appliances first estimates the transmission timing and channel information of WLAN by reading request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) frames of WLAN. Next, based on the estimated information, home appliances transmit a data at the same time as WLAN transmission. To manage the interference between WLAN and smart grid network, we propose a cognitive beamforming algorithm. The beamforming algorithm is designed to guaranteeing zero interference to WLAN while satisfying a required rate for smart metering. We also propose an energy efficient rate adaptation algorithm. By slowing down the transmission rate while satisfying an imperceptible impact of quality of service (QoS) of the receiver, the home appliance can significantly save transmit power. Numerical results show that the proposed multiple antenna technique provides reliable communications for smart metering with reduced power comparing to the simple transmission technique.

This study was a qualitative investigation of the process of adaptation of nutrition education programs by marriage immigrant women who completed education programs for training of food citizen leaders. Focus group interviews of seven marriage immigrant women from Vietnam, China, Mongolia and Russia were conducted and analyzed based on the Normalization Process Theory (NPT). Participants were aware of the purpose of the education program (coherence) and their confidence in organizing and reconstructing the knowledge of nutrition was increased after education (reflexive monitoring). However, they had difficulties attending long-term education programs (cognitive participation) and overcoming language barriers (collective action). Although the program was beneficial for the participants in that they could apply acquired nutrition knowledge to their everyday life as food citizen leaders, the continuous monitoring and feed-back system (management), customized application, and consideration of personal and social factors need to be developed and facilitated. In addition, various programs targeting marriage immigrant women may increase economic independence of these women. The NPT proved beneficial in conceptualizing the barriers and facilitators to implementing nutrition education. The successful implementation of nutrition intervention needs special support to overcome barriers to cognitive participation and collective action.
