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...

Abstract Language outcomes after speech and language therapy in post-stroke aphasia are challenging to predict. This study examines behavioral measures resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) as predictors of treatment outcome. Fifty-seven patients with chronic were recruited treated for one three impairments: anomia, agrammatism, or dysgraphia. Treatment effect was measured by performance on a treatment-s...

It is known that Parkinson's disease is often accompanied by a motor speech disorder, which results in impaired communication. However, people with Parkinson's disease may also have impaired word retrieval (anomia) and other communicative problems, which have a negative impact on their ability to participate in conversations with family as well as healthcare staff. The aim of the present study ...

This paper compares two theoretical positions regarding the mental representation of homophones: first, that homophones have one phonological word form but two grammatical representations (lemmas, e.g., Levelt et al., 1999; Dell, 1990), or second, that they have two separate phonological word forms (e.g., Caramazza et al., 2001). The adequacy of these two theoretical accounts for explaining the...

objectives: semantic feature analysis was designed to improve lexical retrieval of aphasic patients via activation of semantic networks of the words. in this approach, the anomic patients are cured with semantic information to assist oral naming. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of semantic feature analysis treatment on anomia of two nonfluent aphasic patients. methods: a si...
