| Research Abstract |
In order to analyze the developmental process in the communication behavior and the sign system based on perception and cognition, how the examples suffered from deficit of the behavior or system were examined by methods of experimental psychology and neuropsychology and the process the damaged have recovered by means of rehabilitation was analyzed.
In the present research, (1) the process undeveloped children have got perceptual ability was observed and compared with the normal children, (2) the process of improvement in visual ability in the early blind after operation was investigated, (3) the conditions for autistic children to be able to mutually communicate with their mothers was analyzed, (4) by analyzing the behavior of the brain damaged suffering from cognitive deficits, the conditions in which the cognitive ablity has been developed was examined and the corresponding ares in the brain was located.
As a result, it has been clarified that the activity of sign system in various levels is not only sufficient for the sigh behavior, but is based on the perceptual and cognitive behavior, and that the sign activity is developed through communication behavior in relatively lower levels, Perception, and cognition.
