Phoneme-based rehabilitation of anomia in aphasia.

چکیده
This study investigated the effects of phonologic treatment for anomia in aphasia. We proposed that if treatment were directed at the level of the phonologic processor, opportunities for naming via a phonological route, as opposed to a strictly whole word route, would be enhanced, thereby improving naming. The participants, ten people with anomia and aphasia due to left hemisphere stroke, received 96 h of phoneme based treatment in 12 weeks. To learn if treatment improved naming, a single-subject, repeated probe design with replication was employed. The primary outcome measure was confrontation naming. Secondary outcome measures included phonologic production, nonword repetition and discourse production. Results suggest a positive treatment effect (confrontation naming), improvements in phonologic production and nonword repetition, and generalization to discourse production. When tested 3 months after the completion of treatment the effects appeared to be maintained.

Phonologic Rehabilitation of Anomia in Aphasia
This study investigated the effects of an intensive phonologic treatment for anomia in aphasia. The theoretical motivation for this investigation was based on a parallel distributed processing model of phonology (Nadeau, 2001). We proposed that if treatment were directed at the level of the phonologic processor (e.g. phonemes and phoneme sequences), opportunities for naming via a phonological r...
متن کاملComparative Effectiveness of Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) and Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) for Anomia Treatment in Persian Speaking Patients With Aphasia
Objectives: Anomia is one of the most common and persistent symptoms of aphasia. Although treatments of anomia usually focus on semantic and/or phonological levels, which both have been demonstrated to be effective, the relationship between the underlying functional deficit in naming and response to a particular treatment approach remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the rela...
متن کاملTitle: Phonological Neighborhood Density Effects on Treatment of Naming in Aphasia
Anomia, a difficulty in word retrieval, is one of the most prevalent disturbances in aphasic speech production. Heterogeneity in naming impairments poses a challenge to developing treatment programs for word retrieval difficulties in aphasia. Recent cognitive descriptions of word-finding impairments have been based on a two-step model of word production (Dell, Schwartz, Martin, Saffran, & Gagno...
متن کاملExtending the use of Spanish Computer-assisted Anomia Rehabilitation Program (CARP-2) in people with aphasia.
PURPOSE To extend the use of the Spanish Computer-assisted Anomia Rehabilitation Program (CARP-2) for anomia from a single case to a group of 15 people with aphasia. To evaluate whether the treatment is active (Phase 1) for this group (Robey & Schultz, 1998), providing potential explanations as to why. METHODS Fifteen participants with chronic aphasia (with a range from moderate to mild anomi...
