Study Summary

Aphasia is a language disorder caused by stroke and other acquired brain injuries that affects over two million people in the United States and which interferes with life participation and quality of life. Anomia (i.e., word- finding difficulty) is a primary frustration for people with aphasia. Picture-based naming treatments for anomia are widely used in aphasia rehabilitation, but current treatment approaches do not address the long-term retention of naming abilities and do not focus on using these naming abilities in daily life. The current research aims to evaluate novel anomia treatment approaches to improve long-term retention and generalization to everyday life. This study is one of two that are part of a larger grant. This record is for sub-study 1, which will adaptively balance effort and accuracy using speeded naming deadlines.

Primary Outcome

Confrontation naming accuracy of pictures targeted in each training condition will serve as a primary outcome. Individualized lists for each participant will be selected from a corpus of pictured objects. Performance will be evaluated twice at each timepoint. Change in performance from initial assessment to the 3-month follow-up timepoint on the treated items will serve as the primary outcome measure.
