Objectives Our study aimed to present the distinctive correlates of formal thought disorder in patients with schizophrenia, using the Clinical Language Disorder Rating Scale (CLANG). Methods We compared clinical characteristics between schizophrenia patients with (n = 84) and without (n = 82) formal thought disorder. Psychometric scales including the CLANG, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), the Calgery Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) and the Word Fluency Test (WFT) were used. Results After adjusting the effects of age, sex and total scores on the BPRS, YMRS and WFT, the subjects with disorganized speech presented significantly higher score on the abnormal syntax (p = 0.009), lack of semantic association (p = 0.005), discourse failure (p < 0.0001), pragmatics disorder (p = 0.001), dysarthria (p < 0.0001), and paraphasic error (p = 0.005) items than those without formal thought disorder. With defining the mentioned item scores as covariates, binary logistic regression model predicted that discourse failure (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 5.88, p < 0.0001) and pragmatics disorder (aOR = 2.17, p = 0.04) were distinctive correlates of formal thought disorder in patients with schizophrenia. Conclusions This study conducted Clinician Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity (CRDPSS) and CLANG scales on 166 hospitalized schizophrenia patients to explore the sub-items of the CLANG scale independently related to formal thought disorders in schizophrenia patients. Discourse failure and pragmatics disorder might be used as the distinctive indexes for formal thought disorder in patients with schizophrenia.

Objectives This study investigated associations between symptom severity and neurocognitive functions in patients with major depressive disorder using comprehensive neuropsychological tests. Methods Ten patients with low depression (LD) and 22 patients with high depression (HD) participated. Symptom severity was determined by both the Beck Depression Inventory and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Additionally, anxiety was measured by the Korean version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-KYZ). Ten subtests of the Korean-Wechsler Adult Intelligence scale (K-WAIS), Stroop test, the word/design fluency tests were administered to assess cognition. Results The LD and HD groups did not differ in any of cognitive measures but anxiety level. Namely, the HD group obtained significantly higher scores on the state (U = 29.50, p < 0.01) and trait (U = 28.50, p < 0.001) anxiety scales than the LD group. A significant interaction effect between trait anxiety and depression severity was observed on the picture arrangement subtest of the K-WAIS [F (1, 27) = 5.09, p < 0.05]. Conclusions Cognitive deficits observed in patients with major depressive disorder may be related to other factors rather than current symptom severity. Trait anxiety possibly moderates the effect of current symptom severity on social judgment in these patients.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 말소리장애 아동과 일반 아동을 대상으로 어휘인출 시 단순 손동작(hand tapping)을 반복하게 하는 것이 조음정확도와 유창성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 알아보았다. 손동작을 반복하면서 어휘를 산출하는 것은 주의를 분산시키는 이중과제에 해당하기 때문에, 주의력 저하가 보고된 말소리장애 아동의 경우 일반 아동과 다른 행동 양상을 보이는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 4, 5, 6세의 말소리장애 아동 15명과 일반 아동 15명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 조음복잡성이 높은 어휘와 낮은 어휘를 각각 15개씩, 총 30개를 선정하여, 이에 대한 대면이름대기 과제를 실시하였다. 첫 번째 실험조건에서는 단순 손동작을 반복하지 않고, 두 번째 실험조건에서는 손바닥으로 책상을 두드리면서 그림 이름을 말하도록 하였다. 대상자의 반응에 대해 자음정확도, 비유창성 정도, 정확성 변화와 유창성 변화의 상관관계를 측정하여, 두 실험조건에 따른 두 집단 간 수행력을 비교하였다. 결과 : 첫째, 말소리장애 집단과 일반 집단 모두 손동작 반복 과제와 손동작 비반복 과제 간 자음정확도에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 일반 집단은 손동작 반복 과제에서 비유창성이 유의하게 증가하였으나, 말소리장애 집단은 차이가 없었다. 셋째 손동작 반복에 따른 자음정확도 변화와 비유창성 변화는 일반집단의 경우 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었으나 말소리장애 집단은 아무런 상관을 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 주의력 분산을 위해 사용한 단순 손동작 반복은 결과적으로 집단에 따라 대상자의 목표행동에 방해가 될 수도, 혹은 그 반대로 도움이 될 수도 있었다. 어휘인출에 대한 손동작 반복의 영향이 두 집단 간 다른 양상으로 나타난 만큼 이에 대한 심층적 논의가 필요할 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 학습 유창성 향상에 유용한 SAFMEDS(Say All Fast a Minute Each Day Shuffled)전략의 교육적 유용성을 보여준 사례연구이다. 본 연구에 참여한 전문가는 일반대학원 정규과정에 개설된 자폐성 장애 연구를 수강한 3명의 대학원생들이며, 이들은 수업을 통해 자폐성장애와 언어행동분석 관련 이론 및 교육전략을 연구하였다. 연구 도구는 언어행동분석 용어목록 60 쌍이며, 이것은 앞-뒷면에 용어-정의가 각각 인쇄되어 하나의 쌍으로 구성된 플래시카드(flashcard) 형태이다. 대상자들은 용어목록 앞면에 적힌 용어의 정의를 보고 뒷면에 적힌 용어를 정확하고 빠르게 반응할 수 있도록 학습하였다. SAFMEDS 훈련으로 나타난 주요 결과에 따르면, 연구대상자 A는 시간이 지남에 따라 정반응이 증가하고 오반응이 감소하는 양상을 보여주었고, 대상자 B와 C도 정반응이 증가하고 오반응이 감소하는 결과를 보여주었다. 대상자 B의 언어목록 제시 방법이 대상자 A와 C의 제시유형과는 달랐지만 모든 대상자들의 유창성 향상에서 긍정적인 효과가 나타났다. 결국, SAFMEDS 전략이 언어목록 습득에 효과적이었으며, 유창한 언어목록을 형성할 수 있는 유용한 교육 전략임이 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 일반교육뿐 아니라 특수교육 전문가들에게 SAFMEDS 전략의 유용성을 알리고 이를 다양한 영역에 적용할 수 있도록 방향을 제시하는데 의의가 있을 것이다.

Objectives : This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics and neuropsychological profiles of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their siblings. Methods : Eighteen children (age $8.2{\pm}1.7$ years, 12 boys) with ADHD and their 18 siblings (age $7.8{\pm}1.6$ years, 8 boys) completed Continuous Performance (CPT), Stroop, Children's Trail Making, Rey-Kim Memory, and Kim's Frontal Executive Function tasks. The parents of these subjects underwent the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ARS), 10-item Parent General Behavior Inventory (P-GBI), and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Paired t-tests were used. Results : The inattention (p=.020), and hyperactivity-impulsivity (p=.001), scores of the ARS and the P-GBI score (p=.004) were significantly higher in children with ADHD than in their siblings. Deficits in social communication and motivation on SRS were higher in children with ADHD than in their siblings (p=.017 and p=.011, respectively). Z-scores of omission and commission errors as well as response time variability on visual CPT and omission errors on auditory CPT were in clinically significant range, and z-score of omission errors on auditory CPT was in borderline range in siblings. Omission (p=.018) and commission errors on Visual CPT (p=.007) were significantly higher in children with ADHD compared to their siblings. Recognition efficiency on Kim's Frontal Executive Function Task was lower in children with ADHD compared to their siblings, but in normal range in both groups. Stroop interference and figure fluency on Kims Frontal Executive Function Task were in borderline range in ADHD group, and figure fluency was in borderline range in siblings. Conclusion : Our results support a preliminary evidence for mild degree of attention deficit in ADHD siblings. Further studies are needed to examine the cognitive functions of siblings with ADHD in larger samples.

The animal naming test (ANT) is known to be influenced not only by age, gender, and education but only by ethnicity, culture, and language. Thus, population-specific norm considering these variables needs to be developed for Korean-speaking elderly. We evaluated 185 healthy elderly people with five measures. Education was the single statistically independent correlate of the total number of words ($R^2$ = .312, p = .038). After adjusting for education, there was slightly significant negative correlation (r = -.215, p = .049) between age and total number of words. Mean number of words produced was $13.71{\pm}3.09$. The production frequency was negatively correlated with the typicality rating (r = -0.41, p < .05). The concrete and exact scoring rule could be set up in the comparison of naming performance between a normal and patient with neuro-linguistic disorder and its data could be utilized in a differential diagnosis for patients with neurological disorders.

Melody intonation therepy (MIT) is to improve the linguistic aspects of the verbal utterance for aphasic patients utilizing the intact right brain. It is applied to the aphasic patients with good comprehension, poor fluency, and little available speech are thought to be ideal candidates. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of Korean Melody intonation therapy (kMIT) in patients with non-fluent aphasia. Five male non-fluent aphasic patients were participated in this study. Average ages were 49.9 years old. Each therapy took 45-50minutes once a week for six months. Aphasic Screen lest (RISS) was used to assess language parameter such as Auditory comprehension, oral expression, reading, writing and calculation ability before and after kMIT. Mean of Length Utterance, verbal intelligibility and articulation disorder were assessed also. Computerized Speech Lab was used to assess the acoustic characteristics of aphasic patients before and after kMIT. The results are as follows : 1) Auditory comprehension, oral expression, reading, writing and calculation ability of the subjects increased after UH'. However, only oral expression showed significant difference (p<0.05). 2) Mean of Length Utterance of five patients generally increased after Un. 3) After kMIT, verbal intelligibility increased and showed significant difference (p<0.05). 4) Misarticulation rate generally decreased after m. 5) Voice Onset Time of the alveolar lenis /t/ and velar lenis /k/ gradually decreased after kMIT. 6) However, intonation pattern were increased gradually in yes'no question after kMIT.

Spasmodic dysphonia is a voice disorder characterized by involuntary voice breaks during speech. Adductor spasmodic dysphonia is most common and characterized by strained and strangled voice breaks. The current standard of treatment of therapy for adductor spasmodic dysphonia is chemodenervation of thyroarytenoid muscle with botulinum toxin(Botox). However, Botox is a temporary treatment with each injection lasting approximately 3 months on average and require repeated injections. In this study, we report our experience with surgical treatment for adductor spasmodic dysphonia. In this procedure, the thyroarytenoid branch and lateral cricoarytenoid branch of recurrent laryngeal nerve is selectively denervated unilaterally, and its distal nerve stump of thyroarytenoid branch is reinnervated with branch of the usa cervicalis nerve. And lateral cricoarytenoid muscle partial myotomy was done unilaterally. After 6 months of treatment, voice fluency had improved and no period of breathiness or dysphagia was noted.
