Purpose: This study was to confirm the influence of memory intensive training program on the elderly people's cognitive function, memory performance, and self-esteem. Method: Using a quasi-experimental or experimental design, 60 elderly aged over 60 years randomly assigned the experimental and control groups completed pretest-post evaluation. The experimental group participated in the memory intensive training program was offered to the participants in the experimental group for three weeks (2times/week). The t-test and $X^2$-test using SAS program. Results: 1) The cognitive function was significantly higher in the experimental group compared to that in the control group (t=3.26, p=.002). 2) The memory performance that included immediate word recall tasks, word recognition tasks and delayed word recall tasks was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t=5.30, p<.001). The experimental group showed significantly higher scores for memory performance than the control group (t=5.30, p<.001). 3) The self-esteem was higher in the experimental group than in the control group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (t=1.94, p=.058). Conclusion: The Memory Intensive Training Program could be an effective intervention for improving cognitive function, and memory performance of the elderly people.

본 연구는 알츠하이머 치매노인을 대상으로 Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ɛ4의 유무와 치매수준에 따른 우울과 기억력의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 임상치매척도(clinical dementia rating; CDR)가 0.5점에서 2점 사이인 65세 이상 노인 50명을 대상으로 임상치매척도, 노인용 서울언어학습검사, 레이 복합도형검사, 축약형 노인우울검사를 실시하였고 ApoE 유전자형은 구강상피세포를 채취하여 실시한 유전자 검사를 통해 확인하였다. 자료분석은 맨 휘트니 U 검정, 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. ApoE ɛ4가 없는 경우에 CDR 1점과 2점에서 우울과 언어적 즉시회상 기억력이 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었고(p<.05), ApoE ɛ4를 보유한 경우에는 CDR 1점에서 우울과 언어적 즉시회상, 언어적 지연회상 기억력에서 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다(p<.05). 우울과 언어적 즉시회상 기억력은 유의한 상관관계가 있었고 ApoE ɛ4를 보유한 경우에는 우울과 언어적 지연회상 기억력에도 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 따라서 알츠하이머 치매의 예방 및 중재로 시각적인 훈련보다 언어적 기억력훈련이 유용할 것이며 우울치료가 상호보완적으로 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Associative and bidirectional associative memories are examples of associative structures studied intensively in the literature. The underlying idea is to realize associative mapping so that the recall processes (one-directional and bidirectional ones) are realized with minimal recall errors. Associative and fuzzy associative memories have been studied in numerous areas yielding efficient applications for image recall and enhancements and fuzzy controllers, which can be regarded as one-directional associative memories. In this study, we revisit and augment the concept of associative memories by offering some new design insights where the corresponding mappings are realized on the basis of a related collection of landmarks (prototypes) over which an associative mapping becomes spanned. In light of the bidirectional character of mappings, we have developed an augmentation of the existing fuzzy clustering (fuzzy c-means, FCM) in the form of a so-called collaborative fuzzy clustering. Here, an interaction in the formation of prototypes is optimized so that the bidirectional recall errors can be minimized. Furthermore, we generalized the mapping into its granular version in which numeric prototypes that are formed through the clustering process are made granular so that the quality of the recall can be quantified. We propose several scenarios in which the allocation of information granularity is aimed at the optimization of the characteristics of recalled results (information granules) that are quantified in terms of coverage and specificity. We also introduce various architectural augmentations of the associative structures.

Objectives This study aimed to identify the differences and the profiles of cognitive deficits in remitted patients with schizophrenia and first-degree relatives of schizophrenic probands. Methods A total of 26 remitted states of schizophrenia patients were included in the study and the same number of unaffected first-degree relatives of schizophrenic probands and healthy controls were matched for age, sex, years of education. Cognitive function of all participants was measured by using the Digit span test, the Continuous performance test, the Rey auditory & visual learning test, the Complex figure test, the Verbal fluency test, the Wisconsin card sorting test and the Finger tapping test. The effects of subsyndromal symptomatology and general intelligence score were controlled. Results Schizophrenia patients' group showed more significant impairment than other groups in verbal memory (learning, immediate recall, delayed recall), visual memory (copy, immediate recall, delayed recall) and cognitive flexibility domains. The family group and the patient group commonly performed significantly worse than healthy controls in working memory and verbal fluency (category) tests. There were no differences in sustained attention, psychomotor performance. Conclusions Our research shows that the deficit in working memory and verbal fluency could be strong candidates of endophenotypic marker in schizophrenia.

■ Objectives This case study is to report the two cases of Gami-Guibitang on cognitive impairment after stroke with improved recall memory. ■ Methods We used Korean medicine treatments including Gami-guibitang, acupuncture and moxibustion to treat patients who had cognitive impairment after stroke for at least two months. We observed the changes of symptoms by measuring Korean version of Mini-mental status examination (MMSE-K), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and Global Detration Scale (GDS). ■ Results After treatment, the patient's symptoms were improved including MMSE-K, CDR and GDS. Improvement appeared to be prominent in recall memory. The general condition were also improved after treatment. ■ Conclusion This clinical case study suggests that Korean medicine including Gami-guibitang could be used to treat patients who had cognitive impairment after stroke especially suffering from degraded recall memory.

In order to design man-machine system, communication system and other tasks that require information, we need to understand the characteristics of hyman short-term memory (STM). Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate the influences of information stress and retention time on human performances and their relation- ships for STM of visual invormation. Eight subjects performed the computer monitering with STM task. The results showed that performance on serial recall from STM get wores and response time (and completion time) on information transmission by recall from STM increase as information stress and retention time increase. Also, there existed inverse proportional relationship between recall performance and response time (and completion time).

In this paper, we propose a multi-layer associative neural network structure suitable for hardware implementaion with the function of performance refinement and improved robutst capability. Unlike other methods which reduce network complexity by putting restrictions on synaptic weithts, we are imposing a requirement of hidden layer neurons for the function. The proposed network has synaptic weights obtainted by Hebbian rule between adjacent layer's memory patterns such as Kosko's BAM. This network can be extended to arbitary multi-layer network trainable with Genetic algorithm for getting hidden layer memory patterns starting with initial random binary patterns. Learning is done to minimize newly defined network error. The newly defined error is composed of the errors at input, hidden, and output layers. After learning, we have bidirectional recall process for performance improvement of the network with one-shot recall. Experimental results carried out on pattern recognition problems demonstrate its performace according to the parameter which represets relative significance of the hidden layer error over the sum of input and output layer errors, show that the proposed model has much better performance than that of Kosko's bidirectional associative memory (BAM), and show the performance increment due to the bidirectionality in recall process.

장기기억 분야와 달리 시각작업기억에 대한 기억왜곡 연구사례는 흔치 않다. 본 연구는 시각작업기억 표상이 하향적 간섭에 의해 왜곡될 가능성을 관찰하고자 하였다. 기억표상의 질적 특성에 대한 직접적인 관찰을 위해서는 기억용량과 선명도를 추정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 색상환 과제를 통해 스트룹 단어의 색상에 대한 단기 회상을 요구하는 과정에서 발생하는 오류시행에 대한 분석을 통해 단어의 명칭에 의한 시각작업기억 표상의 왜곡 가능성을 조사하였다. 참가자들은 과제에서 500ms 동안 제시되는 1, 2, 3 혹은 6개의 스트룹 단어 항목의 색상을 기억하였다. 1초의 기억지연 시간 후, 기억이 요구된 스트룹 단어 중 단서가 지정하는 특정 단어의 색상을 회상해 색상환에서 선택 보고하였다. 색상환에서 회상이 요구된 자극의 실제 색상으로부터 ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ 이내의 색상을 선택했을 경우 정반응으로 간주 되었으며, 그 밖의 경우는 오반응으로 간주되었다. 오반응 시행에 대해 색상 선택의 분포 패턴을 분석한 결과, 보고 대상의 명칭 색상 범주에 기초한 회상 오류가 시행 전반에서 사용된 명칭 기반 평균 회상 오류를 상회하였다. 또한 항목개수 증가로 인한 기억부담의 증가는 이와 같은 스트룹 간섭에 의한 기억왜곡의 발생 확률에 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과, 스트룹 자극에 대한 시각작업기억 표상에 대하여 자극의 명칭색상에 의한 체계적 왜곡 가능성이 관찰되었다. 이는 비교적 짧은 기간 활용되는 시각작업기억 수준의 표상 역시 장기기억과 마찬가지로 간섭에 의해 왜곡될 수 있음을 시사한다.
