Complexity and Feedback During Script Training in Aphasia: A Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the effect of complexity and feedback on script training outcomes in aphasia DESIGN: Randomized balanced single-blind 2 × 2 factorial design.

Setting

Freestanding urban rehabilitation hospital.

Participants

Adults with fluent and nonfluent aphasia (at least 6 months post onset).

Interventions

Experimental treatment was AphasiaScripts, a computer-based script training program. Scripts were 10-turns long and developed at different complexity levels to allow for comparison of high vs low complexity. The program was modified to contrast high vs low feedback conditions during sentence practice. Participants were instructed to practice three 30-minute sessions per day, 6 days per week for 3 weeks.
