초록

이 연구의 목적은 공간능력 구성요소에 대한 신경과학적 모델을 개발하고, 빛과 그림자 관련 과학 과제를 해결하는 과정에서의 두뇌활성 영역을 신경과학적 모델에 기반하여 영역 일반적 능력과 영역특수적 능력으로 구분하여 설명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 남자 대학생 24명이 공간능력 검사지 문항과 빛과 그림자 과제를 해결하는 동안의 시선이동과 EEG를 동기화하여 측정하였으며, 과제 해결 전략에 대한사후면담과 RVP를 실시하였다. 시선 이동, 두뇌 활성 영역, 참여자의 사고 과정과 전략을 통합하여 공간능력 구성요소에 대한 신경과학적 모델을 개발하고, 빛과 그림자 관련 과제 해결 과정을 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공간 시각화와 심적 회전 요소는 주로 두정엽의 활성을 필요로 했으며, 공간 방향화 요소는 전두엽의 활성을 필요로 했다. 구체적으로, 공간 시각화 요소는 문제를 탐색하는 과정에서 전두엽이 활성화되었고, 문제와 답지를 비교하는 과정에서 측두엽과 두정엽이 활성화되었다. 심적 회전 요소는 회전된 정보를 탐색하는 구간에서는 전두엽이, 심적 회전을 할 때에는 두정엽이, 문제와 답지를 비교하는 구간에서는 측두엽이 활성화되었다. 공간방향화 요소는 문제를 탐색하는 과정과 문제와 답지를 비교하는 과정 모두 전두엽이 활성화되었다. 둘째, 빛과 그림자 과제를 해결 할 때에는 영역 일반적 기능인 공간 능력과 과학적 원리를 적용하는 영역 특수적 사고가 함께 필요하였다. 평행광의 그림자 모양 추론과 빛의 방향이 바뀔 때의 그림자 모양을추론에서의 두뇌 활성 패턴은 공간 시각화 요소에 대한 신경과학적 모델과 유사하였다. 여러 방향에서의 그림자를 통해 원래 물체를 추론할 때에는 공간 방향화 요소, 점광원의 그림자 모양을 추론할 때에는 공간 시각화 요소에 대한 신경과학적 모델과 두뇌 활성 패턴이유사하였다. 빛과 그림자 과제를 해결할 때 추가적으로 활성화 된부위는 주로 연역적 추론, 작업 기억, 행동에 대한 계획 기능을 담당하는 중측두이랑, 중심앞이랑, 하전두이랑, 중전두이랑이었다. 따라서빛과 그림자 과제를 해결하는 과정에서는 공간능력 외에도 그림자생성 원리를 기반으로 한 연역적 추론, 빛의 진행 방향을 작업 기억에유지시키는 것, 광원의 특징에 따른 과제 해결 과정 계획, 빛-물체-스크린의 공간적 관계 인지 등이 추가적으로 필요하다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a neuropsychological model for the spatial ability factor and to divide the brain active area involved in the light & shadow problem solving process into the domain-general ability and the domain-specific ability based on the neuropsychological model. Twenty-four male college students participated in the study to measure the synchronized eye movement and electroencephalograms (EEG) while they performed the spatial ability test and the light & shadow tasks. Neuropsychological model for the spatial ability factor and light & shadow problem solving process was developed by integrating the measurements of the participants’ eye movements, brain activity areas, and the interview findings regarding their thoughts and strategies. The results of this study are as follows; first, the spatial visualization and mental rotation factors mainly required activation of the parietal lobe, and the spatial orientation factor required activation of the frontal lobe. Second, in the light & shadow problem solving process, participants use both their spatial ability as a domain-general thought, and the application of scientific principles as a domain-specific thought. The brain activity patterns resulting from a participants’ inferring the shadow by parallel light source and inferring the shadow when the direction of the light changed were similar to the neuropsychological model for the spatial visualization factor. The brain activity pattern from inferring an object from its shadow by light from multiple directions was similar to the neuropsychological model for the spatial orientation factor. The brain activity pattern from inferring a shadow with a point source of light was similar to the neuropsychological model for the spatial visualization factor. In addition, when solving the light & shadow tasks, the brain’s middle temporal gyrus, precentral gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus were additionally activated, which are responsible for deductive reasoning, working memory, and planning for action.
