D. studies. My Ph.D. studies involved great blessings that I received along with all other blessings. However, there have still been so many frustrating moments as well. In hindsight, despite all the up-and down-moments, my pursuit of a Ph.D. was possible and continued with great support, help, and encouragement from a number of people who have supported me. I want to express my gratitude to all of those people. First, I owe special gratitude to my advisor, Distinguished Professor Loraine Obler. She was the best mentor I have met in academia in my life, and I learned so much from her regarding how to communicate, educate learners and manage a lab. When I was in a slump, she gently pushed me to stand up and move on. When I was not sure where I was going, she was always there to listen to my issues. When I faced a hurdle regarding completion of my Ph.D. studies (moving to Korea), she encouraged me tremendously with the exact words that I needed to hear. She has been patient and persistent in teaching me. Thanks to her, my Ph.D. has been full of insights, motivation and enjoyment. I wish to be a mentor like her. Admiration and gratitude are also extended to my committee members (Drs. Klara Marton, Brett Martin, Teresa S. Pisano) and the Executive Officer (Dr. Mira Goral). Dr. Klara Marton, who was the former EO, has been all ears for my issues and has guided me throughout the academic program, and particularly my dissertation. She understood my situation so well, which gave me so much encouragement. I also learned so much about cognition from her. Without her supervision and expertise, my dissertation would not have been feasible. Dr. Brett Martin taught me and helped me in various ways regarding audiology-related areas. Thanks to her advice, I was able to create my stimuli in the beginning. Her supervision has been very x important and helpful in my dissertation. Dr. Teresa S. Pisano has been a great help in editing my dissertation. With critical eyes, she gave me so much helpful feedback on my dissertation on both language and content. Thanks also go to the current Executive Officer of the Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences Ph.D. program, Dr. Mira Goral, for her guidance regarding my defense and helpful comments on the discussion. I am incredibly grateful to my research assistants, Sita Patel, Kyungeun Lee, and Michelle Otero, for their enormous help with task development. Without their help, the whole process would have taken so much longer. It was a great experience for me to mentor other people as well. I believe we all learned so much while working together. I also thank Myeonghee Lee for all the statistical advice that she gave me. Thanks to her expertise, the quality of my study could be improved. As well, recognition goes out to Patricia Goodson and Gary Chant for their organizational and technical assistance whenever I needed help. Center, for all their discussions, feedback, and encouragement. I especially thank my former and current lab members Jungmee Yoon and Jungmoon Hyun for their support, counsel, and suggestions on my study at various stages. The many conversations I had with them always gave me insights and motivation. Special thanks also go out to my former and current lab members,

While some studies of multilinguals have shown similar results to what has been seen in studies of bilinguals, certain unique properties of multilinguals are beginning to be noticed, particularly regarding early language representation, gray matter density, and speed of lexical retrieval. In addition, research on cognitive control, language switching, working memory, and certain consequences of multilingualism (advantages and disadvantages) are reviewed in terms of their effects on the brains of bilinguals and multilinguals. Although there is little agreement among papers concerning specific regions that are structurally different in monolinguals and multilinguals, publications do show differences. Similarly, there are studies reporting somewhat different regions called upon for processing a given language in multilinguals ...

This study employed multiple baselines and post-tests, and revealed that an ICAP was an effective treatment method for two individuals with mild aphasia in the areas of naming and sentence production.
