Treatment-Induced Recovery Patterns Between Nouns and Verbs in Mandarin-English Bilingual Adults With Aphasia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate treatment effects of naming therapy targeting nouns and verbs in Mandarin-English bilingual adults with aphasia (BWA).

Method

Twelve Mandarin-English bilingual adults with chronic aphasia completed a 40-hr semantic-based naming treatment for either nouns or verbs. Eight of these participants completed both noun and verb treatment, and the other four completed either noun or verb treatment. Participants were trained in either Mandarin or English for both treatment cycles. Weekly naming probes were measured to capture the direct treatment gain and within- and cross-language generalizations. Performance on the standardized language assessments was analyzed to examine further generalizations beyond the word level and to standardized naming
