Outline of Final Research Achievements

I constructed an experimental learning support system that can create a model for study content and present calculation, reading, and comparative problems. The system measures biologic information during study and conducts a subjective evaluation to analyze the load borne by the learner. The results of a pulse power spectrum analysis indicate that load increases approximately 30 minutes from the start of the problem. Furthermore, during continuous study (consecutive problems) for 30 minutes using the study support system, the inclusion of a 10- minute rest had the effect of reducing stress and fatigue felt by the learner.
