Sayaka Oki (Hideo Jingu Laboratory), a first-year doctoral student at the Graduate School of Engineering, Kanazawa Institute of Technology, collaborated with Kracie Holdings, Ltd. and Kracie Foods, Inc. to activate the brain even after making Intellectual Education Confectionery®. Revealed that it will last.
It has been reported that the prefrontal cortex is activated while a child is making an educational confectionery ®, but will the activation effect continue even after the production?To clarify this question, 10 students who had no experience in educational confectionery or had no experience since childhood participated as subjects.After working on Intellectual Task I for 10 minutes, we made an educational confectionery, and after making it, we conducted an experiment in which we worked on Intellectual Task II for 10 minutes.As an intellectual task, we randomly used 300 types of 5-piece puzzles.There are two types of educational confectionery to be produced, "Educational confectionery A", which is characterized by its color and shape, and "Educational confectionery B", which creates original colors. Worked on both issues of "B".
As a result of a study using NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy), which can measure the amount of change in cerebral oxidized hemoglobin (Hb) non-invasively by utilizing the penetration of near infrared rays through the scalp and skull, the activation of the brain by the educational confectionery A Whereas Intellectual Task I ≒ Intellectual Task II, Intellectual Education Confectionery B has Intellectual Task I <Intelligent Task II, and Intellectual Education Confectionery B activates the frontal frontal area even after production and concentrates. Was confirmed to be up.
In the future, it is expected that such types of educational confectionery will attract attention as a new way to play educational confectionery.
