Memory disorder is the most consistent neuropsychological finding in schizophrenia and seems to be a stable trait in it. It is suggested that memory dysfunction found in patients with schizophrenia is primary to biological abnormalities, not secondary to attention deficits they have. Although temporal lobe structures including hippocampus and thalamus have traditionally been thought to be implicated regions for memory disorder in schizophrenia, recent studies indicate the possibility of abnormalities in the frontal lobe and the neural circuits between brain regions. Advanced research methods such as functional imaging technique are expected to produce more detailed informations about memory function in schizophrenia.

특성 분노는 분노 경험과 관련된 개인의 심리 특성 중 하나로, 특성 분노가 높은 이들은 낮은 이들에 비해 더 자주, 더 강하게, 더 길게 분노를 경험한다. 본 연구의 목적은 분노를 경험하는 동안에 활성화되는 뇌 영역을 관찰하고, 활성화된 뇌 영역 중 특성 분노와 연관이 있는 영역을 확인하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실험 참가자 35명을 대상으로 과거에 분노했던 기억을 회상하여 분노를 유발하는 과제를 수행하는 동안의 뇌 기능을 측정하였다. 정서적 중립 사건을 회상하는 조건에 비해 분노 사건을 회상하는 조건에서 더 활성화된 뇌 영역은 우측 superior temporal gyrus (BA38), 좌측 inferior frontal gyrus (BA45), 우측 thalamus, 우측 insula (BA13), 양측 cuneus (BA17), 그리고 우측 cerebellum anterior lobe으로 나타났다. 분노 회상 시 뇌 활성화 정도와 특성 분노 점수 간 상관 분석 결과, 특성 분노 점수가 높을수록 분노 회상시 우측 insula의 활성화가 높았다. Insula가 정서 경험과 신체 내부감각수용기에서 오는 정보를 통합하여 자극에 대한 주관적인 느낌을 표상하는 영역으로 알려져 있으므로, 특성 분노가 높은 사람일수록 분노 자극에 대한 주관적인 느낌을 더 강하게 표상한다고 해석할 수 있다. 이 연구 결과는 분노의 개인차에 대한 뇌 기제를 규명한 것으로, 분노 및 분노 조절 관련 문제들에 대한 신경과학적 이해를 향상시키는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

한국 대학생들의 외국어 어휘 학습에 미치는 부적 정서(상태-특성 불안, 우울)와 작업기억의 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 이것이 외국어 어휘 학습 콘텐츠 개발에 함의하는 바가 무엇인지를 알아보았다. 이를 위하여 132명에게 상태-특성 불안, 우울, 그리고 네 종류의 작업기억 검사를 실시하였다. 또한 참가자들로 하여금-특정 외국어에 대한 개인 간의 차이를 최소화하고자-처음 보는 스와힐리어 단어를 학습하도록 하였다. 참가자들의 상태-특성 불안과 우울의 평균은 정상 수준이었다. 구조방정식모형에서 부적 정서에서 외국어 학습으로의 직접효과는 없었으며, 부적 정서에서 작업기억으로의 직접효과와 작업기억에서 외국어 학습으로의 직접효과는 유의미하였다. 이는 부적 정서에 의한 작업기억의 손상이 외국어 어휘 학습의 부진으로 이어질 수 있음을 의미하였다. 이를 바탕으로 대학생들을 위한 외국어 어휘 학습 콘텐츠를 개발할 때에, 학습자의 부적인 정서를 고려해야 할 필요성과 작업기억의 부담을 최소화해야 할 필요성을 제기하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate 1) the neuropsychological deficits with major depressive disorder(MDD) in depressed state and 2) the changes of neuropsychological dysfunctions during depressed episodes and remitted periods in the MDD group. Methods : 12 patients with MDD and 70 normal controls who were diagnosed and classified by DSM-IV and SCID-IV interview participated in this study. The psychopathology was measured using the Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAM-D) and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS). The memory function, executive function, and sustained attention were measured by a trained psychologist using the Korean version of Memory Assessment Scale(K-MAS), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test(WCST), and Vigilance(VIG) and Cognitrone (COG) in Vienna Test System. After 6 weeks of treatment, we retested the cognitive tests in order to measure the cognitive functions in remitted states. Results : Patients with MDD achieved significantly lower score in sentence immediately recall, verbal memory score and total memory score of the K-MAS, total errors of the WCST, response time of Vigilance and response time at "Yes" response of Cognitrone than normal controls at baseline. After 6 weeks of medication, the psychiatric symptoms in the patient group were attenuated, and most of the neuropsychological functions including attention, memory, and frontal/executive function were improved except for response time of Cognitrone. Conclusions : This study provides evidence for distinct neuropsychological deficits in patients with MDD on their depressed states and remitted periods. The impairment on response time remains after remission, and this would be a trait marker of major depressive disorder.

Objectives : Autobiographical memory (ABM) is a special type of episodic memory, containing events that have occurred in a personal life. Overgeneral tendency of ABM refers to the retrieval of memory with only general and categorical descriptions rather than specific events. ABM specificity in depression and posttraumatic stress disorder is a robust finding with relation to cognitive vulnerability, affect regulation, problem-solving ability. It is also implicated in bipolar disorder with frequent relapses. In this study, we investigated whether ABM specificity was related to manic or euthymic mood states in patients with bipolar disorder. Methods : Forty bipolar patients with manic and euthymic episodes and 25 healthy controls participated in this study. Prompted by 5 positively and 5 negatively valenced emotional cue words, each participant was instructed to recall positive or negative memories and describe them in detail. The One-way ANOVA was used to compare ABM scores and post-hoc analyses were done. Results : Comapred to the healthy persons, the bipolar patients reported significantly more general than specific negative memories in both manic and euthymic episodes (p = 0.003). However, there was no significant difference between manic and euthymic patients (p = 0.074). Conclusions : These results suggest that overgeneral tendency of negative ABM may be a trait abnormality in bipolar disorder. Moreover, this phenomenon might be related to underlying cognitive deficits or affect regulation irrespective of the mood state.

이전의 연구들이 외부 피드백 정보에 대한 반응민감도에 성격특성적 개인차가 반영된다는 사실을 밝힌바 있지만, 재인기억과 관련한 의사결정에서 이러한 기질 혹은 특성적 개인차가 어떻게 관여하는지는 아직 알려진 바가 없다. 본 연구는 재인기억 과제에서 피드백에 근거한 의사결정 준거의 순응적 변화정도와 피드백에 대한 일반적 반응민감도의 개인차간 관계를 살펴보았다. 통제 조건인 실험 1에서는 올바른 피드백 조건이 의사결정 준거의 유동성에 영향을 미치지 않음을 보인 반면 피드백 조작이 이루어진 실험 2에서는 확신도가 높은 오기억 반응에만 선택적으로 편향된 피드백이 주어졌음에도 전반적인 Old/New 반응 범주의 결정준거 또한 순응적으로 이동함이 나타났다. 보다 중요하게 이 피드백에 근거한 의사결정 준거 학습에 나타나는 개별 피험자들의 반응민감도 차이가 강화 추구 혹은 불안 회피와 밀접하게 관련된 안정적 성격(Behavioral Activation System-BAS 혹은Behavioral Inhibition System-BIS)의 개인차에 의해 유의미하게 예측될 수 있음이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 그동안 외현적인 재인 기억 의사 결정에 있어서 중요하게 여기지 않았던 점증적 강화학습 기제가 결정 준거의 설정에 관여할 수 있음을 보여준다는 데에서 중요한 의미를 찾을 수 있다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate whether verbal and spatial working memory functions were impaired not only in patients with schizophrenia but also in people at ultra-high risk for first-episode psychosis. Methods : Twenty-five patients (M 13, F 12) with schizophrenia (SPR), 21 people at ultra-high risk for psychosis (UHR)(M 10, F 11) and 19 normal controls (NC)(M 10, F 9) were recruited. The working memory was assessed by using the verbal and spatial n-back test. The working memory load increased incrementally from the 0-back to the 3-back condition. Results : SPR performed significantly lower than NC and UHR in terms of hit rates of verbal and spatial n-back test. UHR subjects conducted significantly lower than NC and higher in trend-level than SPR in terms of hit rates of verbal and spatial n-back test. These differences were derived from the high working memory load (2-back and 3-back), not from the low working memory load (0-back and 1-back). There was no significant difference between the verbal and spatial n-back test across the three groups. Conclusion : These findings suggest that verbal and spatial working memory dysfunction may be general rather than differential in terms of stimuli modality, and this working memory deficit may be an important trait factor in schizophrenia.

This study investigated the impact of individual differences in motivational reactivity on cognitive effort, memory strength (sensitivity) and decision making (criterion bias) in response to Internet ads with positive and negative content. Individual variation in trait motivational activation was measured using the Motivational Activation Measurement developed by A. Lang and her colleagues (A. Lang, Bradley, Sparks, & Lee, 2007). MAM indexes an individual's tendency to approach pleasant stimuli (ASA, Appetitive System Activation) and avoid unpleasant stimuli (DSA, Defensive System Activation). Results showed that individuals higher in ASA exert more cognitive effort during positive ads than individuals lower in ASA. Individuals higher in DSA exert more cognitive effort during negative ads compared to individuals lower in DSA. ASA did not predict recognition memory. However, individuals higher in DSA recognized ads better than those lower in DSA. The criterion bias data revealed participants higher in ASA had more conservative decision criterion, compared to participants lower in ASA. Individuals higher in DSA also showed more conservative decision criterion compared to individuals lower in DSA. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Object:This study was to investigate the difference of speech perception ability in schizophrenic patients, and depression patients in order to explore trait-dependent speech perception ability of each disorder. Methods:The speech perception ability was assessed with masked speech tracking test(MST) in schizophrenic patients(N=31), depression patients(N=25), and normal controls(N=21). The continuous performance test(CPT) and sentence repetition test(SRT) were also used for assessment of attention and working memory. Results:The schizophrenic patients showed significant impaired MST performance, compared with depressive patients and normal controls. The performances of CPT and SRT were also more impaired in schizophrenic patients. The difference of MST performances between two patient group was cancelled out after consideration of differences in CPT & SRT performances. Conclusions:These results imply that schizophrenic patients have the impaired speech perception ability compared with depressive patients and normal controls. But speech perception ability was significantly influenced with CPT and SRT. For evaluation of pure speech perception ability, the more elaborate controlled study that excluded factors such as attention, working memory and intelligence is needed.
