본 연구의 목적은 「Guiding Crieative Talent」의 저자이자 교수인 E.Pual Torrance에 의하여 제시된 디자인 기준(design criteria) 중에 3가지 디자인 기준을 선택하여, 스크린 프린팅기법에 의거, 일련의 디자인을 제작하는 것이다. 이 디자인 기준은 1958년, Torrance에 의하여 수행된 \"The Minnesota Tests of Creative Thinking\" 중 일부이다. 그는 \"창의적인 발상전개에 있어서 보다 더 주의를 요하는 것은 마지막 생산물(the products)이 아니라 그것의 과정(the process)인 것이다.\"라고 강조해 왔으며, 창의적 사고에 관한 개념을 제시해 왔다. 본 연구의 디자인은 그 창작의 착상의 모티브(motif)로써 연화문(蓮花紋)을 선택하여 다양한 디자인의 스크린 프린팅을 창작하였다. 12개의 디자인이 제작되었데, 그것은 Torrance에 의하여 제안된 약 20개의 기준(criteria) 가운데 저자가 디자인 착상에 있어서 최소한의 기본요소라 생각되어, 임의로 선택한 3가지 기준에 의하여 만들어졌다. :3가지 기준이란 1) 모티브(motif)의 수적증가(multiplication) 2) 모티브(motif)의 위치변화 3) 모티브(motif)의 모양변화이다. 전체적인 디자인과 테두리 디자인(border design)이 선택적으로 디자인 과정에 포함되었으며, 최종적으로 12개의 디자인이 선택, 1가지의 색채를 이용하여 스크린 프린팅에 의하여 제작되었다. 디자인 제작과정으로, Torrance의 각각의 디자인 기준에 의한 여러 장의 스케치를 그린 후, 그중 12개의 스케치를 임의로 선택하여 옷감위에 프린팅하였다. 디자인 제작 결과, 저자가 선택한 3개의 디자인 기준만으로도 다양한 수의 서로 다른 디자인 창작이 가능하였으며 본 연구에서는 1개의 디자인 기준을 선택 응용하였으나 보다 많은 디자인 기준을 선택하여 동시에 비교 연구하는 것도 필요하다고 본다. 그리고 1개 이상의 디자인 모티브(motif)를 함께 디자인 착상에 이용하는 것도 가능하다고 본다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of father's characteristics on the creativity of gifted preschoolers and nongifted preschoolers. Father's personality, creative personality and parenting self-efficacy were included in father's characteristics. The study subjects were 96 gifted and 180 non-gifted preschoolers and their fathers. Instruments were the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking(Torrance, 1984: Kim et al., 2002), Revised NEO-Personality Inventory(Costa & MaCrae, 1992), What Kind of Person Are You Scale of the Khatena-Torrance Creative Perception Inventory(Khatena & Torrance, 1976: Kim et al., 2004), and Parenting Efficacy Scale(Choe et al., 2001). The results showed that extroversion, healthy ability and disciplined ability of the gifted preschoolers' fathers influenced the children's fluency of creativity, while the disciplined imagination of gifted preschoolers' fathers influenced children's elaborateness of creativity. Regarding non-gifted children, the intimacy of the non-gifted preschoolers' fathers influenced the children's fluency of creativity, the general parenting ability of non-gifted preschoolers' fathers influenced children's abstractness of titles of creativity, the general parenting ability of non-gifted preschoolers' fathers the influenced children's elaborateness of creativity, and general parenting ability and learning guidance ability of non-gifted preschoolers' fathers influenced the children's resistance to premature closure of creativity.

This study developed a program suitable for operating an infinite creative space within the public library, and analyzed the effect of promoting participants' creativity through a trial run of the program. To do this, we operated a "picture book making activities" program in the infinite creative space of J library located in Chungbuk. This program was performed for 18 elementary students in grades 3-6. Torrance TTCT (The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking) tools were used in this study to measure the overall creativity. As a result, first, awareness of the importance and interest in environmental science was improved through the whole program process. Second, participants' problem-solving abilities improved during the program by having to derive a solution for a given problem through brainstorming. Third, storytelling ability improved after the story-creating elements of the program. Fourth, each participants' creativity was improved through creative activities. Fifth, by publishing the results of creative activities of participants as books, the self-esteem of participating children improved as well.

Platyspondylic lethal skeletal dysplasia, Torrance type (PLSD-T), is one of the pheno-types of type II collagenopathy and is characteristic of severe bone growth disorder. This phenotype may limit the growth and expansion of the lungs, which is known to cause death from respiratory failure during or shortly after birth, but in few less severe cases, patients have been reported to have survived to adulthood. We have experienced a case of PLSD-T in a preterm infant who was delivered via cesarean section at the gestational age of 29 weeks 3 days, with a birth weight of 1.15 kg. Physical examination of the infant revealed characteristic findings of short arms and legs, small thorax, distended abdomen, and cleft palate. On the basis of the subsequent genetic testing, the patient had a heterozygous mutation in the encoded c-propeptide region of collagen, type II, alpha 1 (COL2A1), c.4335G>A ($p.Trp1445^{\ast}$) in exon 52. This is the first case of PLSD-T diagnosed in Korea, and we hereby report the case.

The present research investigated the validity and reliability of the Verbal and Figural tests of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking(TTCT). Its potential as a basis of normative data, and differences in children's sex and grade in school were also examined. The subjects of this study were 360 children (180 boys, 180 girls) enrolled in two public elementary schools grades 1-6. Pearson's product-moment coefficient and two-way analysis of variance were used for analyzing data collected from these tests. The present research showed a coefficient of concurrent validity of the TTCT-Verbal test of .40. The coefficient of equivalence from reliability between the TTCT-Verbal test and TTCT-Figural test was .65 (p<.01). Regarding the coefficient of interscorer reliability, the total score of the TTCT-Verbal test was .86 and that of the TTCT-Figural test was .95. The coefficient of intrascorer reliability on the total score of the TTCT-Verbal test was .93 and that of the TTCT-Figural test was .96. Generally, score reliability was .86 to .96 in total score but there were great differences in the reliability of sub-factor scores. There were no significant differences between boys and girls in the distribution of scores on the TTCT-Verbal test and the TTCT-Figural test. There were significant differences between grades (p<.01) on the distribution of total scores and subfactor scores of the TTCT-Verbal Test.

Background and Purpose Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) is a well-known and commonly used measure of creativity. However, the TTCT-induced creative hemodynamic brain activity is rarely revealed. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the neural correlates of creative thinking in the setting of a modified version of the figural TTCT adapted for an functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment. Methods We designed a blocked fMRI experiment. Twenty-five participants (11 males, 14 females, mean age $19.9{\pm}1.8$) were asked to complete the partially presented line drawing of the figural TTCT (creative drawing imagery; creative). As a control condition, subjects were asked to keep tracking the line on the screen (line tracking; control). Results Compared to the control condition, creative condition revealed greater activation in the distributed and bilateral brain regions including the left anterior cingulate, bilateral frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital regions as shown in the previous creativity studies. Conclusions The present revealed the neural basis underlying the figural TTCT using fMRI, providing an evidence of brain areas encompassing the figural TTCT. Considering the significance of a creativity test for dementia patients, the neural correlates of TTCT elucidated by this study may be valuable to evaluate the brain function of patients in the clinical field.

본 논문에서는 기준 영상으로부터 면의 반사특성을 검출하고, 구해진 반사특성을 임의의 물체에 적용하여 3매의 명암영상을 얻는다. 이 영상을 측광입체시법(photometric stereo method)에 적용하여 3차원 형상인식하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 목적으로 하는 물체의 반사특성은 난반사(diffuse reflection)성분과 전반사(specular reflection)성분이 혼합된 혼합 반사면(hybrid reflectance surface)을 그 대상으로 하며, 이러한 면의 반사특성은 Torrance-sparrow모델로 가정하여 문제를 해결해 나간다. 본 연구에서 목적으로 하는 대상 물체는 동일한 재질로 이루어졌다는 가정 하에서 몇개의 표본점들을 취해 반복수치 계산하기 때문에 계산속도가 빠르며, 각 표본점들로부터 계산된 면특성 파라메터들의 평균값을 취해서 다시 Torrance-sparrow모델에 적용함으로써 측광입체시법의 해석을 가능토록 한다. 즉, 3차원 형상인식 과정시 계산된 면특성 파라메터를 사용해 생성한 참조표와 명암영상과의 비교에 의해 빠른 면방향 복구를 행할 수 있다.

This study explored the creative thinking styles of children according to cluster analysis and examined group differences in the gender of children. The participants consisted of 250 elementary school students living in Seoul, Korea. Data were analyzed by means of cluster analysis and ${\chi}^2$ test. The results from the cluster analysis based on the scores on the sub-factors of TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) suggested the existence of four clusters('Non-creative', 'Divergent creative', 'Elaborate creative, 'Multiple creative'). Additionally, four clusters were found to be differentiated according to gender.
