These problems are the predictors of reading problems and poor performance at school. Most studies in Persian-speaker children with specific language impairment have focused on syntax and morphology and the naming errors profile of these children ar...

There is increasing experimental and neuropsychologica l evidence that action selection is directly constrained by perceptual information from objects as well as by more abstract semantic knowledge. To capture this evidence, we develop a new connectionist model of action and name selection from objects—NAM (Naming and Action Model), based on the idea that action selection is determined by conve...

aphasia is prevalent in people following stroke, which can have a significant impact on the quality of life of the patients with stroke. one of the new methods for treatment of patients with aphasia is constraint‑induced aphasia therapy (ciat). the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of ciat on naming deficits in individuals with chronic aphasia. this study had a prospective, sing...
