본 연구는 시간압력이 주어진 상황에서 개인의 고유한 인지특성인 인지양식과 과제의 난이도에 따른 학습맥락이 시각변별과제의 기술습득과 전이에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 하였다. 자극은 다각형 비교과제를 이용하였으며, 실험은 스크린 세션, 훈련 세션 그리고 전이 세션으로 구성되었다. 스크린 세션에서는 참가자를 인지양식(분석적-전체적)에 따라 구분하였으며, 훈련 세션에서는 학습맥락의 구분을 위해 과제의 난이도를 어려운 조건과 쉬운 조건으로 나누었다. 전이 세션에서는 모든 피험자가 새로운 난이도의 다각형을 비교하였다. 훈련 세션과 전이 세션에서는 시간압력의 효과를 보기 위해, 1.5초가 지나면 자극이 사라지게 하였다. 전 세션에 걸쳐 정확도와 반응시간을 측정하였다 실험결과, 분석적 처리자는 훈련 세션 동안 전체적 처리자와 같은 수준의 빠른 반응을 보이나, 훈련이 지속될수록 반응시간의 기울기가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 분석적 처리자가 자극의 세부특징들을 일 대 일로 비교하는 원래의 처리스타일로 회귀했음을 의미한다. 반면, 분석적 처리를 유도하는 어려운 학습맥락에서 훈련한 전체적 처리자의 경우, 전이 세션의 초기블록에서 반응시간의 증가를 보였다. 이것은 전체적 처리자가 어려운 학습맥락에 의해 분석적 전략을 개발했다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 시간압력 상황에서도 개인의 인지양식의 차이가 인지전략의 개발 및 기술습득에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to find a more effective balance training method. The subjects of this study were 14 children with cerebral palsy (7 males, 7 females) being treated at Seran Pediatric Developmental Research Center in Taegu. Two groups of children with cerebral palsy (everyday trained group, every-other-day trained group) were evaluated with visual & auditory feedback. Evaluation and training device was Balance Performance Monitor (BPM) Dataprint Software Version 5.3. There was statistically significant difference of the balance score between the pre-and the post-training in both group (p<.05), but there was no difference of the balance score between two groups (p<.05). In conclusion, it is likely that the visual and auditory feedback in children with cerebral palsy was effective in improving standing balance, but there was no difference between everyday trained group and every-other-day trained group.

To improve the effect of balance training, visual feedback is usually used. During the training process there are some factors which decrease the effect. Neurophysiologically, the main negative factor is thought to be synaptic fatigue which decreases the sensitivity of synapses. The purpose of this study was to find a more effective balance training method. In this study, a total of 60 normal subjects-19~30 years old young males and females(M=30, F=30)-participated, and they were randomized as A, B, and C group, each group containing 20 subjects. First, all groups had a pre-test of sway balance. One minute later, A group was trained in sway balance by continuous visual feedback for 2 minutes, B group by intermittent visual feedback which had 4 sessions of 30 seconds each and a one minute rest break. C group was not trained at all. All groups had a post-test. Only B group had improved balance compared with C group by ANOVA. On the other hand, intermittent visual feedback was more effective than continuous visual feedback in sway balance training with normal subjects.ㅂ

Weight bearing training on the involved leg is impotant for ambulation and activities of daily living in ambulatory hemiplegic patients. Traditionally, physical therapists have relied on exercise therapy and subjective evaluation. The goal for this study was to measure lower extremity weight distribution in standing with ten hemiplegic pations(M:8, F:2) and to determine the traing effect on symmetrical standing posture using a "Limloader". The Limloader is a machine designed for training symmetrical weight bearing posture. The results showed that the ability to keep the center of gravity within the limits for balance was improved significantly but the ability to adjust weight bearing on the involved leg was not (p<0.05). This study demostrated that hemiplegics can improved their symmetrical weight bearing ability using sensory biofeedback.

The objective of this study was to identify the effects of weight-transfer training on the weight bearing distribution and gait patterns of hemiplegic patients through visual and auditory feedback using a limb load monitor. The subjects of this study were 18 hemiplegic patients who had been hospitalized or were visited out-patient department of the Rehabilitation Hospital, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, from January 5, 1995 through March 15, 1995. Pre-and post-training changes in gait patterns were measured using ink foot prints as well as by recording weight bearing distribution using a limb load monitor. The data were analyzed by the repeated measure one-way ANOVA and paired t-test. The finding were as follows: 1. Prior to the training, 18 subjects bore more weight on the sound leg(61.6 %) than on the affected leg(38.4 %). 2. Posterior to the training, the average percentage of weight bearing on the affected leg increased significantly from 38.4 % prior to training; to 46.0 % immediately after training; 45.7 % after a 30 second delay; and 45.3 % after a 60 second 3. The difference in gait patterns between pre- and post- training was statistically significant, with an increase in gait velocity to 3.65 cm/sec post-training; an increase in stride length to 5.37 cm on the affected side; 4.77 cm on the sound side; and a narrowing of the base of support to 1.19 cm. In conclusion, hemiplegic weight-transfer training using visual and auditory feedback with a limb load monitor was found to be enhancing symmetrical standing posture, and simultaneously improve gait patterns.

Biofeedback devices have been used successfully to improve head control and symmetrical walking in cerebral palsied children. Biofeedback of postural sway was investigated as a therapeutic technique to reduce postural abnormality in 24 selected children with cerebral palsy. Subjects were evaluated their weight distribution of both sides during their standing before and after the visual and auditory feedback training. The effectiveness of biofeedback was compared to conventional physical therapy practices in reestabilishing symmetrical standing in cerebral palsied children. Our study found biofeedback was effective in training symmetrical standing posture.

목적: 본 연구는 시각차단연습과 시각허용연습에 따른 수행지각거리와 실제수행거리의 정확성을 비교함으로써 신체적 중재로서 시각차단연습의 잠재적 가능성을 검토하는 것이다. 방법: 골프퍼팅 경험이 없는 36명의 남자대학생이 실험에 참여하였으며, 시각차단집단, 시각허용집단, 그리고 통제집단에 각각 12명씩 무작위로 배정되었다. 사전검사에서 참여자들은 1m 간격의 각 거리(1-15m)에서 1회씩 총 15회의 퍼팅을 수행하였다. 이어서 블록 1, 블록 2, 그리고 블록 3에서는 각각 거리별로 2회씩 총 90회의 퍼팅을 수행하였으며, 사후검사는 블록수행 직후에 사전검사와 동일한 방법으로 실시되었다. 수행지각거리와 실제수행거리의 정확성을 분석하기 위해서 절대오차 값이 계산되었으며, 집단 (3)과 측정시점 (5)의 이원분산분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 시각차단집단과 시각허용집단이 통제집단보다 수행지각거리와 실제수행거리의 정확성이 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 하지만 두 처치집단 간의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 결론: 이러한 결과는 시각차단연습과 시각허용연습이 지각판단 및 기능수행을 효과적으로 촉진시킬 수 있으며, 특히 시각허용연습과의 병행을 위한 효과적인 신체적 중재로서 시각차단훈련의 잠재적 적용 가능성을 시사한다.

This project was conducted in order to examine visual of the elite athletes and compared the different visual abilities between elite and non-elite athletes by employing seven different visual ability tests. After administring the visual ability tests, important visual characteristics which might have important role to become elite athetes were identified. In the second experiment, two different visual abilities(dynamic visual acuity and depth perception) selected in order to examine the visual training effect for baseball hitting performance for these visual abilities had shown the most relevant visual characteristics for batting performance in the first experiment. The results revealed there were different visual characteristics between athletes in different sports (archery, shooting, ice hockey, baseball), and elite and non-elite athletes. The results also found specific relationship between certain visual characteristics and the sports events. The results of the second experiment revealed the subjects in the experiment group(visual training group) improved their visual abilities significantly through specially designed visual training in the laboratory and the improved visual abilities had positive effect on batting performance in the field.
