Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a mobile application 'Beat Processing Device (BPD)' to record and quantify the data for the performance accuracy of rhythm production. BPD has been developed in three phases. First, we reviewed studies that used rhythm as main intervention strategy to improve cognitive functioning of older adults, and derived four basic rhythm idioms. Second, we developed an iOS-based mobile application, optimized the device, the instrument tone, and the measurement variables through preliminary test. Lastly, we tested the mobile application by comparing the performance data obtained from MIDI and BPD from 60 older adults. The device was shown to be reliable and consistent with other mode of measurement and analysis. Conclusively, BPD can be a useful tool for assessing rhythm production ability in the course of cognitive skills training.

본 연구의 목적은 리듬 산출 시 수행 정확도를 정밀하게 수집, 저장하기 위한 모바일 어플리케이션 'Beat Processing Device(이하 BPD)' 개발에 있다. 이를 위하여 총 3단계의 개발 과정을 거쳤다. 1단계에서는 문헌 조사를 통해 기존 노인 인지 기능 훈련을 위해 사용된 리듬꼴들을 수집, 비교, 분석함으로써, 리듬 산출 과제 구성에 필요한 4개의 리듬꼴 문항을 확정하였다. 2단계에서는 확정한 4개의 리듬꼴 문항이 탑재된 iOS 기반 모바일 어플리케이션을 개발하였으며, 예비 테스트를 통해 디바이스 종류, 사용할 악기 음색, 구현할 실험 종류 등을 최적화하였다. 마지막 단계인 3단계에서는 노인 60명을 대상으로 본 기기와 미디(MIDI)로 수집한 리듬 산출 데이터를 비교하여, BPD의 실효성과 타당성, 정밀함을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 BPD는 인지기능 강화를 위한 리듬 수행력 증진을 평가할 수 있는 유용한 도구로 다양한 현장에서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
