Cross-language interaction during sequential anomia treatment in three languages: Evidence from a trilingual person with aphasia.

ABSTRACT: Language rehabilitation research has reported mixed evidence in bilinguals with aphasia suggesting that therapy can benefit the treated language alone or additionally result in cross-language generalization to the untreated language, while cross-language interference effects are less common. However, treatment effects in multilinguals with aphasia (MWA) have been less frequently investigated, and examining cross-language interactions during therapy may help to better understand their treatment response in each language. This study reports on P1, a trilingual person with severe aphasia with extensive damage to cortical language regions and the basal ganglia, who received sequential semantic-based treatment for anomia in her L3 French, L1 Spanish and L2 English. Overall, significant treatmen
