Abstract

This paper discusses the cognitive function of the image, focusing on the thought-evoking function of the image. Collages artworks were developed to determine how specifically the thought-evoking function of an image takes effect in actual cases. In addition, the cognitive responses of the research participants on the image were analyzed, centering on the thought-evoking function of the image, through an in-depth interview. The image performs the function to concentrate attention on a specific object and to process it more thoroughly. The image increases the immersion of the participants, evoked thought and activated conversation. This study probed the cognitive function of the image and is expected to greatly expand our understanding of human cognition. In particular, it is expected to provide useful insight into the integration of science and art.

본 논문은 사고유발기능을 중심으로 이미지의 인지적 기능에 대해 탐색적으로 고찰해보고자 하였다. 이미지의 사고유발기능이 실제 사례에서 구체적으로 어떻게 나타나는지를 알아보기 위해 꼴라쥬 미술작업을 실시하였다, 그 후 심층면접을 통해 이미지의 사고유발기능을 중심으로 이미지에 대한 연구 참여자들의 인지과정을 분석하였다. 그 결과 이미지는 대상에 주의를 기울여 더욱 면밀히 처리하도록 하고, 몰입을 증가시켜 사고를 유발하며 이를 통해 대화를 활성화하는 것으로 나타났다. 이미지의 인지적 기능에 대한 본 연구는 우리 인간 인지에 대한 이해의 폭을 확장하는데 기여할 것으로 기대되고, 특히 과학과 예술의 융합에도 유익한 통찰을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
