Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the quantitative effects of various emotions and retention periods on the color vividness of visual memory. Background: Although numerous studies have focused on the effects of emotions on memory such as visual detail and vividness of emotional events compared to neutral events, the relationship between emotion and visual memory is ambiguous yet. Furthermore, there were few studies on the effect of emotion on vividness of visual memory. Method: A total of 68 subjects were participated in serial experiments proceed on online and the experiments had two phases: recognition phase and reproduction phase. The 15 photographs were used as visual stimuli and all experiments were conducted over the internet(experiment website) and the results were collected on the web database. Results: The retention period, sleep-arousal emotion and subjective saturation of visual stimuli had a significant effect on the color vividness of visual memory. Conclusion: The results suggested that the color of visual stimulus might be more vividly remembered when it is arousing, the subjective saturation is higher and the retention period is longer. Application: The findings of this study may help clarify the relationship between human emotions and visual memory.

Based on visual Thinking theory, VR(virtual reality) game changes the traditional form of memory and maps the content into game elements to realize the immersive spatial memory mode. This paper analyzes the influencing factors of game design and system function construction. This paper proposes a hypothesis: with the help of visual thinking theory, VR game is helpful to improve learners' visual memory, and carries out research. The experiment sets different levels of game through empirical research and case analysis of memory flip game. For example, when judging two random cards. If the pictures are the same, it will be judged as the correct combination; if they are different, the two cards will be restored to the original state. The results are analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis and AMOS data analysis. The results show that game content using the concept of "Memory Palace", which can improve the accuracy of memory. We conclude that the use of spatial localization characteristics in flip games combining visual thinking can improve users' memory by helping users memorize and organize information in a Virtual environment, which means VR games have strong feasibility and effectiveness in improving memory.

Purpose: This study was conducted to verify the effects of a memory and visual-motor integration program for older adults based on self-efficacy theory. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was implemented in this quasi-experimental study. The participants were 62 older adults from senior centers and older adult welfare facilities in D and G city (Experimental group=30, Control group=32). The experimental group took part in a 12-session memory and visual-motor integration program over 6 weeks. Data regarding memory self-efficacy, memory, visual-motor integration, and depression were collected from July to October of 2014 and analyzed with independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test using PASW Statistics (SPSS) 18.0 to determine the effects of the interventions. Results: Memory self-efficacy (t=2.20, p=.031), memory (Z=-2.92, p=.004), and visual-motor integration (Z=-2.49, p=.013) increased significantly in the experimental group as compared to the control group. However, depression (Z=-0.90, p=.367) did not decrease significantly. Conclusion: This program is effective for increasing memory, visual-motor integration, and memory self-efficacy in older adults. Therefore, it can be used to improve cognition and prevent dementia in older adults.

영상기억은 시각기억 처리 과정의 최초 저장 기제로서 오랫동안 이론적인 타당성을 인정받아왔다. 그러나 최근 관심이 대폭 증가한 시각단기기억과 시각장기기억에 비해 영상기억에 대한 연구자들의 관심은 상대적으로 부족했던 것이 사실이다. 이러한 관심의 부족은 영상기억 및 시각지속 현상에 대한 이론 및 방법론적 이해의 결여가 그 원인인 것으로 짐작된다. 본 연구는 영상기억 및 시각지속 현상에 대한 이론적 배경과 경험적 연구 사례를 개관해 영상기억에 대한 상세한 이해를 도모하였다. 더 나아가 영상기억의 타당성에 대한 현상학적, 생태학적 비판들의 핵심 내용들을 토대로 향후 영상기억 연구의 방향을 가늠하는데 목적을 두었다.

Objective: In order to investigate the functional brain anatomy associated with verbal and visual working memory, functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed. Materials and Methods: In ten normal right handed subjects, functional MR images were obtained using a 1.5-T MR scanner and the EPI BOLD technique. An item recognition task was used for stimulation, and during the activation period of the verbal working memory task, consonant letters were used. During the activation period of the visual working memory task, symbols or diagrams were employed instead of letters. For the post-processing of images, the SPM program was used, with the threshold of significance set at p < .001. We assessed activated brain areas during the two stimulation tasks and compared the activated regions between the two tasks. Results: The prefrontal cortex and secondary visual cortex were activated bilaterally by both verbal and visual working memory tasks, and the patterns of activated signals were similar in both tasks. The superior parietal cortex was also activated by both tasks, with lateralization to the left in the verbal task, and bilaterally without lateralization in the visual task. The inferior frontal cortex, inferior parietal cortex and temporal gyrus were activated exclusively by the verbal working memory task, predominantly in the left hemisphere. Conclusion: The prefrontal cortex is activated by two stimulation tasks, and this is related to the function of the central executive. The language areas activated by the verbal working memory task may be a function of the phonological loop. Bilateral prefrontal and superior parietal cortices activated by the visual working memory task may be related to the visual maintenance of objects, representing visual working memory.

인간의 시각 체계는 제한된 용량으로 인해 매 순간 입력되는 정보들 중에 필요한 일부 정보만을 선택하는 주의 기제를 사용한다. 최근의 여러 연구들은 주의가 요구되는 시각 탐색 과제에서 탐색 자극에 대한 기억이 주의의 이동 과정에 사용될 수 있음을 보고해 왔다(Chun & Jiang, 1998, 1999; Klein, 1988; Klein 1998; Maclnnes, 1999). 하지만 다른 일련의 연구들은, 인간의 시각 정보 유지능력이 순간적으로 일어나는 시각적 변화를 잘 탐지하지 못할 뿐 아니라(Rensink, O'Regan, & Clark, 1997; Simons & Levin, 1997), 시각 탐색에서도 기억이 형성되지 못해, 이미 탐색한 대상에 대한 재탐색이 계속적으로 이루어짐을 주장하였다(Horowitz & Wolfe, 1998). 본 연구에서는 시각 탐색 과정에서 이미 탐색한 자극이나 그 위치에 대한 기억이 사용되어 탐색 효율성에 영향을 주는지 알아보기 위해, 재탐색을 할 수 없도록 제한한 탐색조건(부분 노출 조건, 확장 노출 조건)을 새로 고안하여 이들 조건에서의 탐색 효율성이 기존의 탐색 방식을 제한하지 않는 탐색 조건(전체 노출 조건)에서의 탐색 효율성과 어떤 차이를 보이는지를 비교하였다. 만일 일반적인 탐색 환경인 전체 노출 조건에서 재탐색이 일어난다면, 재탐색이 일어나지 않도록 조작한 다른 조건에 비해 탐색 효율성이 떨어질 것으로 예상하였다. 실험 결과, 탐색 효율성은 탐색 조건에 상관없이 비슷하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 실험 참가자들 이 전체 노출 조건에서도 탐색했던 대상에 대해서 재탐색을 거의 하지 않았음을 의미하는 것이며, 따라서 탐색 과정에서 기억이 사용되고 있는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과는 시각 탐색에 기억이 사용되지 않는다는 최근의 일부 연구 결과와 상반된 것으로서, 기존 연구 패러다임의 문제점과 가능한 해석들을 논의하였다.

Background: Aging reduces cognitive abilities, including visual memory (VM) and visual discrimination (VD). Since common cortical networks subserve eye movement and attention, voluntary eye movement may improve visual attention. Visual selective attention was major role for memory, and visual memory and visual attention are intimately related. Objective: To identify the improvement in VD and VM, after implementing the eye movement program consisting of saccadic eye movement (SEM) and pursuit eye movement (PEM) in the institutionalized healthy elderly. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The study involved a sample of 36 participants, and the mean age was 79.03 years (range 76~84 years). They were randomly allocated to the experimental group (n=16) and control group (n=20). Participants in the experimental group performed SEM 5 times per week for 4 weeks: twice daily at the same time in the morning and afternoon. The program was carried out for 3 minutes, and it consisted of SEM and PEM. The target's moving frequency was set at 0.5 Hz. VM and VD at the baseline and post-intervention were measured using Motor-Free Visual Perception test-4 (MFVPT-4). Results: VM significantly improved in the experimental group (p < .01), and significant differences were observed compared to the control group (p < .01). There was no significant change in VD. Conclusion: The eye movement program consisting of SEM and PEM increased VM more than VD. Therefore, eye movement program was feasible interventions for improving VM in institutionalized elderly persons.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop auditory-verbal and visual-spatial memory tasks using smart devices for children aged 8 to 10 years and examine their validity. Methods: One-hundred and fourteen school-aged children were recruited through internet advertising. We developed memory tasks assessing auditory-verbal memory, visual-spatial memory, and working memory, and then examined their construct validity by examining the developmental trend of the children's mean scores with age. In order to examine the concurrent validity of the tasks, we conducted correlation analyses between the children's scores on the newly developed auditory-verbal, visual-spatial memory and working memory tasks and their scores on well-known standardized tests of memory and working memory, including the auditory-verbal memory subtests of the Korean Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery for Children, Korean Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, digit span and arithmetic subtest of Korean Educational Development Institute Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised, and Corsi block test. Results: The memory and working memory scores measured by the newly developed tasks tended to increase with age. Further, there were significant correlations between the scores of the four cognitive tasks and the corresponding scores of the standardized assessment tools. Conclusion: This study revealed promising evidence for the validity of the memory tasks using smart devices, suggesting their utility for school-aged children in research and clinical settings.
