다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of neurofeedback(NF) training on the attention of ID(Intellectual Disability) children. Participants were twenty-one ID children. They were assigned to neurofeedback training group(n=7), to visual perception training control group(n=7) or to control group(n=7). During twelve weeks, 36 sessions of neurofeedback training and the visual perception training were progressed, three times a week, 30 minutes per session.
Children's Color Trails Test(CCTT), Stroop Color And Word Test(Stroop), and digit span were administered before training, after training to all participants and three months later(follow-up) to two training groups. Brain waves of NF group were measured before and after training by calculating the average activity level of brain waves.
The results were as follows: First, NF group showed significantly improved score on CCTT-2, Stroop, and digit span tasks than two control groups. Second, the frontal lobe brain waves of NF group declined significantly in theta wave and theta:beta ratio. Third, improved score on attention tasks of NF group kept up after three months in follow up study.
In conclusion, the neurofeedback training group showed a significant improvement in attention compared to the other two control groups. The neurofeedback training of SMR/beta mode seemed to be an effective way to enhance attention in ID children. Implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future were discussed.
