The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of baking and pastry activity programs on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia. The study was carried out on 19 elderly with dementia who attended K city C daycare center and who provided consent. A total of 10 elderly were assigned to the experimental group, and the other nine were assigned to the control group. To test the effectiveness of the program, this research used the pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group administered the program from January 2, 2017 to February 28, 2017. However, the control group did not undergo a separate program. Fisher's accuracy test was performed to identify the homogeneity of the experimental and control groups. Mann-Whitney U Test was conducted to identify the homogeneity of the cognitive functions of the experimental and control groups prior to the launch of the program. Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank and Mann-Whitney U Test were conducted to determine the effects of the program on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia. As a result, the program verified the effect on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia. According to these findings, the important issues and limitations of the research are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to develop a program that reduces adolescent delinquency and enhances adolescents' social problem-solving, emotional regulation, and self-control skills and to assess the effectiveness of the program. The program was administered in the form of a role-playing game ("RPG") to increase the participants' motivation to participate in and the effectiveness of the therapy. The subjects in this study were 36 adolescents who engaged in delinquent behavior and their 18 homeroom teachers in middle schools located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the comparison group. The experimental group received the proposed RPG-based cognitive behavioral group therapy while comparison group received problem-solving group therapy. Teachers in the experimental group were educated about how to guide their students following each therapy session while teachers in the comparison group did not receive any education. The dependent variables in this study were incidences of delinquent behavior and social problem-solving, emotional regulation, and self-control skill level. Each variable was assessed before treatment, immediately after the end of the full treatment program, and two months after the end of the full treatment program. At the end of the full treatment program, the experimental group engaged statistically significantly in fewer delinquent behaviors and displayed statistically significantly higher levels of social problem-solving, emotional regulation, and self-control skills than the comparison group. These differences persisted until the assessment two months after the end of the full treatment program. Moreover, the experimental group reported higher levels of satisfaction with the treatment program than the comparison group. The findings of this study suggest that this RPG-based cognitive behavioral group therapy program is effective at reducing adolescent delinquency, improving adolescents' social and emotional management techniques and strategies for avoiding delinquency, and in motivating delinquent adolescents to engage more actively in treatment.

This study purposed to examine the effects of the Feuerstein's cognitive mediated learning for gifted children on attention control and attention shift. For the study, 40 gifted students were chosen from the 3rd graders in elementary schools and divided into test and control groups using K-WISC-III and Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. The mediated learning program that is targeted to improve the executive functions of gifted children has used the tools of Organization of Dots, Analytic Perception and Comparisons among Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment(FIE). According to the results of this study, a significant improvement has been observed in selective attention, self-control, sustained attention, and attention shift through cognitive mediated learning. Therefore, it has been proven that the cognitive mediated learning is effective in reducing gifted children's problematic behaviors that are caused by a lack of attention control and attention shift and improving their cognitive functions and potentials.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate clinical effects on cognition, visual perception, depression, anxiety, and activities of daily living by applying the N-BACK program, a brain stimulated training program, which is used for the clinical purpose. To prove this, subjects suspected of cognitive impairment with 18-23 points in a Korean version of mental status examination (MMSE-K) were recruited among the population who had been diagnosed with stroke duration and suffered from it for six months of duration, and 10 of the subjects were selected into the experimental group and the control group, respectively. A total of 20 sessions were carried out for 30 minutes per day 5 times for 4 weeks. As a result, the experimental group who has been applied the N-BACK program showed positive results in the improvement of cognition, visual perception, depression, anxiety, and daily living skills. The results obtained from this study expect us that applying the N-BACK program for the improvement of cognition, visual perception, depression, and anxiety to stroke patients has a positive effect on the rehabilitation of patients and will lead them to improve daily living activities more independently.

This study was to assess the effects of a recovery oriented integrated rehabilitation program on cognitive social function, rehabilitation motivation, and mental health recovery. This program is involved motivation enhancement program with 4 subprograms composed of cognitive rehabilitation, emotion management, vocational rehabilitation, family education program. The subjects were 34 patirents with schizophrenia who had been hospitalized at National Mental Hospital on local area. The study was a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design with two groups, an experimental group(18 patients) and a control group(16 patients). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 12. 0. The results of the data show that there was not a significant increase in the symptom, cognitive and social function. But there was a significant increase in readiness of rehabilitation(maintenance, p=.027) and mental health recovery (p=.039). Short term recovery oriented integrated rehabilitation programs in inpatient settings are more available for motivation of rehabilitation and mental health recovery than symptom reduction or functional improvement. Therefore there should be more efforts to create more recovery oriented service provision in clinical settings.
