Cognitive Functions Supporting Learning Over Time in Naming Treatment for Aphasia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Aphasia rehabilitation is a learning process that unfolds over time. Previous group studies have examined aphasia treatment response using pre- to posttreatment comparison, largely ignoring the unfolding learning response that occurs session-to-session. We aimed to (a) characterize the shape of learning while individuals with aphasia received intensive anomia intervention and (b) identify the cognitive predictors of this learning response.

Method

Individuals (N = 39) with chronic poststroke aphasia received intensive semantic feature analysis (SFA). Naming accuracy for trained and semantically related, untrained words was probed daily. We used Bayesian generalized linear mixed-effects models to estimate the shape of learning during SFA treatment and to measure
