Speech and language therapy is considered an important intervention to slow decline and support the recovery of linguistic functions in individuals with PPA. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of an elaborated Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) approach in enhancing naming abilities and semantic networks in individuals with the logopenic and semantic variants of PPA.
