난독증자란 지능점수에서 예견하는 것보다 유의하게 낮은 읽기 수준 능력을 가진 사람들이다. 국내의 경우 난독증에 대한 연구가 미진하여 외국의 검사도구를 번역하여 사용하고 있지만, 언어의 경우 민족의 특성과 언어의 특성이 매우 크기 때문에 외국의 검사도구를 그대로 가져오기에는 무리가 있다. 본 논문에서는 난독증 환자를 검사 하고 그 검사 결과에 따라 분석을 할 수 있는 검사도구를 설계하는데 있어 키 반응 검사기의 구현시의 문제점과 문제점을 해결하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 다양한 컴퓨터 환경에서의 실험을 통하여 일반적인 키 반응 검사기의 문제점을 보이고 구현한 키 반응 검사기가 검사도구로서의 정확도를 유지하고 있음을 보인다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of brain-timing training using an Interactive Metronome (IM) on the reading abilities of children with low brain-timing abilities. Methods : A single-group pretest and posttest (retrospective study) were conducted in 8 children whose timing abilities were lower than that for their age average and who were trained from 2019 to 2021. Brain-timing training was conducted 2 or 3 times per week, with 70 sessions in total and 40-50 minutes per session, depending on the developmental characteristics of the child. Changes in brain-timing ability before and after the training were measured using the IM Long-Form Assessment (LFA), and reading ability was measured using the Basic Academic Skills Assessment:Reading (BASA:R). Results : On the basis of the results of the brain-timing ability evaluation using the LFA, the reaction times of all the children during motor tasks were decreased, resulting in statistically significant improvements in their brain-timing abilities (p < .05). Moreover, the raw scores in the BASA:R reading and fill-in-the-blank tests were significantly improved (p < .05). Conclusion : This study is meaningful in that it presents a clinical basis for brain-timing training to improve the reading abilities of children.

NAND flash storage is widely used for computer systems, because of it has faster response time, lower power consumption, and larger capacity per unit area than hard disk. However, currently used I/O scheduler in the operating system is optimized for characteristics of the hard disk. Therefore, the conventional I/O scheduler includes the unnecessary overhead in the case of the NAND flash storage to be applied. Particularly, when the write requests performed intensively, garbage collection is performed intensively. So, it occurs the problem that the processing of the I/O request delay. In this paper, we propose the new I/O scheduler to solve the problem of garbage collection performs intensively, and to optimize for NAND flash storage. In the result of performance evaluation, proposed scheme shows an improvement the user responsiveness by reducing 1% of the average read response time and 78% of the maximum response time.

Objective：In this study, we hypothesized that deficit in processing rapid linguistic stimuli is at the heart of Reading Disability(RD) and deficit in response inhibition is at the heart of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity(ADHD). We conducted experiments to identify the core cognitive characteristics of children either with RD or with ADHD or with both, using attentional tasks and phoneme differential tests. Method：In the study 1, 28 children with ADHD, 16 children with RD+ADHD were individually administered visual/auditory performance tests. Then, the differences of performance on attentional tasks between two groups were compared while IQs of two groups were controlled. In the study 2, 13 children with RD+ADHD/RD, 13 children with ADHD, and 13 normal children were administered computerized phoneme differential tests. Result：Visual attentional tasks did not distinguish an ADHD group from a RD+ADHD group. With auditory attentional tasks, however, the comorbid group showed significantly more difficulties, causing a large variance in reaction time. RD, RD+ADHD, and ADHD groups showed more errors in phoneme differential tests than a normal control group, and each group showed distinctive performance patterns. Discussion：An ADHD group had difficulty in response inhibition and sustained attention, and children who also had RD along with ADHD magnified the auditory attentional difficulties. Even though children with RD had more trouble with responding correctly to target stimuli, their responses were not significantly different from those of children with ADHD.

The present study was designed to examine fathers' awareness and practice of picture book reading with toddlers. The subjects were 221 fathers who have toddlers, and the data collected by questionnaires were analysed by mean and standard deviation, and frequency analysis. As a result, approximately 59% of fathers stated that it is essential to read to their children who are 12 month old or less, and 36% of fathers answered that they read books as much as their children wanted. The majority considered the emotional aspect of picture book reading as being significant. Also, nearly half (46%) of the fathers read books to their children 1-2 times per week, and 37% of them spent 6-10 minutes at a time reading books. While reading books, 60% of the fathers explained text and pictures to their children and a fourth of the fathers answered their children's questions. Also, while reading books, fathers tried to accept their toddlers' responses positively. However, they did not have much time to read books to their children and had little knowledge on how to read books to infants. Further research and education programs on picture book reading for fathers are needed.

The primary purposes of this study were to investigate how sixth graders would react to the types of tasks with regard to the comprehension of graphs and what differences might be among the kinds of graphs, and to raise issues about instructional methods of graphs. A descriptive study through pencil-and-paper tests was conducted. The tests consisted of 48 questions with 4 types of tasks (reading the data, reading between the data, reading beyond the data, and understanding the situations) and 6 kinds of graphs. The conclusions drawn from the results obtained in this study were as follows: First, it is necessary to foster the ability of interpreting the data and understanding the situation in graphs as well as that of reading the data and finding out the relationships in the data. Second, it is informative for teachers to know students' difficulties and thinking processes. Third, in order to develop understanding of graphs, it is important that students solve different types of tasks beyond simple question-answer tasks. Fourth, teachers need to pay attention to teach fundamental factors such as reading the data with regard to line graphs and stem-and-leaf plots Finally, graph type and task type interact to determine graph-comprehension performance. Therefore, both learning all kinds of graphs and being familiar with multiple types of tasks are important.

Patients of dyslexia have an reading disorder marked by the occurrence of semantic errors. Because there is little understanding of dyslexia in korea, we use a translation version of foreign tester for testing the patients of dyslexia. However, the foreign testers is not suitable for testing the korean patients, because language is sensitive to national culture and trait. In this paper, we propose a model of tester for dyslexia Which is used for classification and analysis of korean patients. In addition, we show some characteristics of the implemented tester by a performance study.

The reading processes of Chinese-Korean bilinguals, who have learned Korean as a foreign language, are expected to show different eye movement patterns compared to native Korean speakers. Moreover, these bilinguals may utilize knowledge similar to Chinese in processing Korean word meanings, especially for Sino-Korean words that share semantic relationships with Chinese, potentially processing them faster than native Korean words. This study observed whether Chinese-Korean bilinguals show the word frequency effect typically observed in Korean native speaker reading during Korean sentence reading. Additionally, eye-tracking experiments were conducted under conditions distinguishing between native Korean words and Sino-Korean words to investigate whether there is an advantage in processing Sino-Korean words. The results of the experiments showed that Chinese-Korean bilinguals did not show the same frequency effects as native Korean speakers, and they showed shorter response times in the Sino-Korean condition compared to the native Korean condition. Based on these findings, it is suggested that Chinese-Korean bilinguals, when learning Korean as a foreign language, employ strategies focused on meaning similarity akin to their native language vocabulary acquisition strategies, and they process Sino-Korean words faster than native Korean words, suggesting a potential advantage in learning and processing Sino-Korean vocabulary.

This study is about the effect on the user's cognitive stress by font size when they read on PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). The evaluation was done through both subjective evaluation and physiological one, which is brain wave test, while the research and analysis were focused on the relationship between the user's cognitive stress and font, size. The two final results were found out as follows. 1) Font sizes, which were tested, were 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16points. Among theses, font size 14 was the least stressful for the users. while the most stressful size was found out 8 points. 2) The cerebral cortex reaction according to the font size activated occipital lobe, parietal lobe of occipital visual area. Here we could come to a very important conclusion that the smaller font size on mobile information appliances mate users the more stressed.

The influences of the characteristics of anomalous data on cognitive conflict and conceptual change in learning density were investigated. The subjects were 416 seventh graders. First, the Group Assessment of Logical Thinking and a preconception test were administered. A questionnaire on the responses to anomalous data was then administered. In the questionnaire, four types of anomalous data varying presentation type (movie/text) and authority level (high/low) were randomly presented. After a computer-assisted instruction on density, a conception test was administered. The results indicated that anomalous data presented in movie type significantly induced more cognitive conflict than that in text type. Students presented with anomalous data of high authority scored higher in the conception test than those of low authority. There were no significant interactions between the characteristics of anomalous data and students' logical thinking ability in the scores of both the cognitive conflict and the conception test.
