Young, Edna Carter; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1987
The effects of treatment on errors in consonant clusters and in ambisyllabic consonants were investigated in two adults with histories of developmental phonological problems. Results indicated that treatment, consisting of a sound-referenced rebus approach, affected change in production of trained words as well as generalization to untrained words…

Drew, Ruby L.; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
A semantic-based treatment was used initially to train naming of nouns in four adults with aphasia. Treatment responses and error patterns indicated treatment resulted in improved naming of both trained and untrained items for two participants. Two other participants showed improved naming only after phonological information was added. Results…

Kiran, Swathi; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
Four patients with fluent aphasia received a semantic feature treatment to improve naming of either typical or atypical items within semantic categories. Patients trained on naming of atypical exemplars demonstrated generalization to naming of intermediate and typical items. Patients trained on typical items demonstrated no generalized naming…

Thompson, Cynthia K.; Shapiro, Lewis P.; Kiran, Swathi; Sobecks, Jana – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
Four individuals with agrammatic aphasia were trained to comprehend and produce filler-gap sentences with wh-movement. Two participants received treatment first on the least complex structure (who-questions), and 2 received treatment on the most complex form (object-relative constructions). Object-relative training resulted in robust…
