Three experiments compared two hypotheses on visual selection; perceptual load hypothesis and dilution hypothesis. The perceptual load hypothesis predicts that perceptual load of task-relevant processing determines the level of task-irrelevant processing whereas the dilution hypothesis predicts that competition for limited-capacity attentional resource, not perceptual load, determines the locus of selection. To compare the two hypotheses, we investigated the influence of perceptual load in visual search on response interference by a distractor. Experiment 1 and 2 manipulated perceptual load by the set size of a search array and the colors of a target and non-targets, respectively. As a result, distractor interference decreased with a set size regardless of perceptual load. In order to further test the set size effect, Experiment 3 manipulated the perceptual categories of non-targets and a distractor. The results showed that distractor interference decreased only when non-targets belonged to the same category as a distractor. Overall, the current findings support the dilution hypothesis, but not the perceptual load hypothesis, and provide the evidence that visual selection is constrained by capacity-limited, category-specific attentional resources.

운동학습이론인 감각운동 통합이론을 본 연구의 개념적 틀로하여 한방병원에 입원한 뇌졸중 환자 중 구강인두 기능이 저하된 환자를 대상으로 감각운동자극이 구강인두 기능에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여 1988년 3월초부터 5월 중순까지 예비실험 연구하였다. 감각운동자극을 주기 전에 구강인두기능을 시정하고 대상자 전원에게 저하된 구강인두기능에 따라 감각운동자극을 선택하여 하루 3번 매식후 30분전에 주었으며, 이를 일주일 동안 계속하였다. 일주일 후 다시 구강인두기능을 측정하여 자극을 주기전, 후의 기능정도를 paired t-test로 비교 분석하였으며 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1. “자극을 주기 전보다 준 후에 머리와 목운동 조절점수가 높을 것이다”라는 제1가설은 지지되었다(t＝-2.71, df＝5, p＝.042). 2. “자극을 주기 전보다 준 후에 씹는 능력이 증가되었으나, 통계적으로는 유의하지 않았다(t＝-2.00, df＝5, p＝.102). 3. “자극을 주기 전보다 준 후에 입술운동의 조절점수는 높을 것이다”라는 제3가설은 지지되었다(t＝-4.77, df＝5, p＝.005). 4. “자극을 주기 전보다 준 후에 혀 운동 조절점수가 높을 것이다”라는 제4가설은 지지되었다(t＝-3.61, df＝5, p＝.015). 5. 자극을 주기 전보다 준 후에 연하능력이 증가되었으나 통계적으로는 유의하지 않았다(t＝-2.24, df＝5, p＝.076). 이상의 결과로 감각운동자극은 연하장애환자의 구강인두기능을 증진시키는데 효과적인 방법이라고 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of phonology in lexical access of bilingual processing for Korean-English bilinguals. Four experiments have been conducted in order to adjudicate the nonselective lexical access hypothesis, which argues simultaneous phonological activation of two bilingual languages, and the selective lexical access hypothesis. which argues phonological activation of only one bilingual language. The results showed that the Korean target word processing was significantly affected by the phonological manipulation of the English target word(Exp. 2). Similarly, the English target word processing showed the tendencies that it is affected by the phonological manipulation of the Korean prime word(Exp. 2). This results indicates that the phonological information of another bilingual language is automatically activated when we process one of bilingual languages, and the process of English which is the second language for most Korean, is phonologically activated.

Selective attention induces perceptual distortions. ranging from repulsion of objects located near the attended area(Suzuki & Cavanagh. 1997) to magnification of the u unattended objects (Tsal & Shalev. 1996). Two hypothetical mechanisms have been p postulated: a shift of receptive fields' positions away from the locus of attention(receptive-field-recruitment hypothesis) or the enlargement of perceived space around the a attended location(space-enlargement hypothesis). The present study distinguished between these hypotheses by investigating the spatial and temporal properties of attention-induced d distortions. Perceptual judgements on vernier alignment. line tilt. line length were used to measure attention-induced changes in perception. Attention was induced exogenously(by blinking a specific set of dots around the test stimuli} or endogenously(by instructing the subject to selectively attend the dots). After inducing attention. the test stimuli were briefly flashed. A staircase method was used to measure the attentional effect. A vertical line was perceived as repelled from the locus of attention. and a line segment appeared longer when attention was given to its vicinity. The effects decreased as the distance between the locus of attention or the time between the onset of attention and the stimulus presentation increased. The results imply that the space-enlargement hypothesis provides a better explanation for the attention-induced changes in perception than the receptive-field-recruitment hypothesis.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the phonological information or the orthographic information plays a major role in visual word recognition. To do so, we used a non-word lexical decision task(LDT) in Experiment 1 and masked priming tasks in Experiement 2 and 3. The results of Experiment 1 showed that reaction times and the error rates were affected by the orthographic characteristics of the non-word stimuli such that orthographically similar non-words condition showed prolonged reaction times and higher error rates than control condition. In Experiment 2 and Experiment 3, the participants performed masked priming lexical decision tasks in two SOA conditions(60ms, 150ms). The results of the both experiments showed that the orthographically identical first syllable priming facilitated lexical decision of the target words while both of the pseudo-homophone priming and the phonologically identical first syllable priming did not. The dual route hypothesis(Coltheart et al, 2001), assuming that orthographic information rather than phonological information is the major source for the visual word recognition processes, fits well with the results of the current study.

본 연구는 한글 글자를 지각하는데 있어서 인식의 초기 단계에 사람들이 글자의 유형을 처리하는지 알아보기 위하여 시행되었다. 글자인식의 초기 단계에서 유형 분류를 한다는 것은 이미 인공시각 연구자들에 의해 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증된 바 있으나, 그것이 심리학적으로 실재성을 가지는지에 대한 검토는 없었으므로 본 연구를 실시하게 된 것이다. 먼저 예비실험을 통해 본 실험에서 쓸 자극제시시간을 구했으며, 실험은 한글 글자 중 낱자 수가 두 개인 유형 1, 2 의 글자를 자극으로 쓰는 경우와, 낱자 수가 세개인 유형 3, 4, 5 의 글자를 자극으로 쓰는 경우를 나누어서 실시하였다. 실험 1 과 실험 2 의 결과는 모두 가설을 강력히 지지하는 것으로 나왔다. 즉 자극제시시간을 역치하로 했을 경우 글자의 정답율과 유형의 정답율을 비교해 보았을 때 유형의 정답율이 유의하게 높았으며, 이는 아직 글자의 의미처리가 일어나기 전인 인식의 초기 단계에서 이미 글자의 유형에 대한 처리가 일어났음을 시사해 주는 것이다.

Negative repetition effect (NRE) refers to the phenomenon that the accuracy of report is impaired when a target was flanked by the same distractor than when by alternative distractor. To probe the nature of NRE, this study introduced attention window(s) indicating the positions where a target might be presented, and non-attention window(s) where a target could not be presented. Attention windows are supposed to help participants detect targets readily. Two among three positions are indicated by attention windows in Exp. 1, and a single large attention window encompassing central two positions among four positions was used in Exp. 2, and either large or small attention window was used depending on the number of target candidates in Exp. 3. In the result of three experiments, NREs were consistently observed when both positions of a target and a distractor were indicated by previous attention windows. However, NREs (including its tendency) and its opposite, PREs were observed when a distractor was presented in the non-attention position, depending on its distance from the target and the size of attention window. It seems that this pattern of repetition effects is hard to be explained by repetition blindness hypothesis (Kanwisher, 1991), positional uncertainty hypothesis (Keren & Boer, 1985), and inhibitory attention capture hypothesis (Kwak et al., 1993). Instead it was proposed that shifting of spatial attention should be considered accordingly with the structure of stimulus display. The promising role of this task was discussed in studying the relation of attention and perception.

본 연구에서는 현재 시중에 판매되고 있는 네 가지 휴대용 음원재생기를 자극물로 사용하여 제품 속성에 있어서의 차이가 사용자 경험의 여러 요소에 영향을 주는지 여부(가설 1)와 사용자의 정서적 반응이 사용자가 인식한 제품 특성에 의해 영향을 받는지(가설 2) 그리고 제품에 대한 전체적인 판단이 사용자가 인식한 제품 특성과 감성적 반응에 따라 달라지는지(가설 3) 실험을 통해 조사하였다. 실험결과 기능적 특성과 유희적 특성에 대한 인식 정도는 실험 참가자가 사용한 제품에 따라 서로 다르게 나타났으며, 사용자의 정서적 반응과 전체적인 선호도 또한 평가 제품에 따라 서로 다르게 나타남으로서 제품 속성에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 함께 사용자 경험을 구성하는 요소들 간의 상호관계도 테스트하였는데, 사용자의 정서적 반응이 주로 제품의 기능적 특성에 따라 달라지는 반면 사용자의 전체적인 판단은 제품의 기능적 특성과 유희적 특성 모두에 의해 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또 분석결과에서 밝혀진 한 가지 흥미로운 사실은 사용자의 정서적 반응이 전체적인 판단에 아무런 역할도 하지 않는다는 점이다.

현대의 많은 교육학자나 심리학자들은 구성주의를 지지하고 있다. 구성주의는 학습이 행동주의에서 말하는 것과 같이 자극에 대해 수동적으로 일어나는 것이 아니라, 자기를 둘러싸고 있는 환경과 자기가 가지고 있는 인지상태의 평형을 이루기 위해 노력하는 능동적인 과정에 의하여 이루어진다는 가설을 이론으로 삼고 있다.(중략)
