\nKINGSTON, R.I. — March 13, 2003 — A 溏心vlog免费B站 professor has been awarded $6,500 in grant funding to assist stroke victims with aphasia. <\/p>\n

\tMikyong Kim, an assistant professor of communicative disorders, will be working with people who have aphasia, the loss of the ability to verbalize ideas because of brain damage. <\/p>\n

\tSpecifically, she will be researching verb production among patients who suffer from what is called fluent aphasia. “Patients with fluent aphasia speak a lot, but they don\u2019t fully comprehend other people\u2019s and their own speech, and their own speech is very empty of content,” Kim said. “Those suffering from non-fluent aphasia have a hard time speaking.” <\/p>\n

\t“We want to look at the factors affecting those with fluent aphasia in finding verbs,” Kim said. “Once I can do that, I can help them.” <\/p>\n

\tThe Kingston resident will be working with nine patients to follow up a study she completed at Northwestern University where she earned her doctorate in speech-language pathology. For that study, she examined 10 healthy adults, nine patients with non-fluent aphasia and 14 patients with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. <\/p>\n

\t“I will be using visual cues to test them, such as asking them to describe action pictures, and I will be asking them to tell me stories. I will also do sentence completion exercises, again using pictures,” she said. <\/p>\n

\tShe will see each person during three, two hour sessions, the first for evaluation and the second and third for the testing. <\/p>\n

\tFor the next step, she wants to develop a treatment study. “Luckily many aphasic patients are very cooperative and they want to participate so they can help others.” <\/p>\n

\tKim, who came to this country from South Korea, specializes in adults with neurogenic communication disorders, including those with dementia. She holds a master\u2019s degree in speech and language pathology from Northwestern and holds a master\u2019s degree in English from the Pennsylvania State University. Arriving at 溏心vlog免费B站 last fall, she holds a bachelor\u2019s and a master\u2019s degree, both in English, from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea.
