Ran Li; ShiMin Chen; Swathi Kiran – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Following the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) framework, the current study investigated the active ingredients in the modified semantic feature analysis (mSFA) targeting either noun or verb retrieval in Mandarin-English bilingual adults with aphasia (BWA). Method: Twelve Mandarin-English BWA completed mSFA treatment…

Robert Cavanaugh; Michael Walsh Dickey; William D. Hula; Davida Fromm; Jennifer Golovin; Julie Wambaugh; Gerasimos Fergadiotis; William S. Evans – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Individuals with aphasia identify discourse-level communication (i.e., language in use) as a high priority for treatment. The central premise of most aphasia treatments is that restoring language at the phoneme, word, and/or sentence level will generalize to discourse. However, treatment-related changes in discourse-level communication…

Silvia Martínez-Ferreiro – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Word retrieval skills change across the lifespan. Permanent alterations in the form of decreased accuracy or increased response time can be a consequence of both normal ageing processes or the presence of acquired and neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., aphasia and dementia). Despite the extensive literature exploring the…

Nunn, Kristen; Vallila-Rohter, Sofia; Middleton, Erica L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Increasingly, mechanisms of learning are being considered during aphasia rehabilitation. Well-characterized learning mechanisms can inform "how" interventions should be administered to maximize the acquisition and retention of treatment gains. This systematic scoping review mapped hypothesized mechanisms of action (MoAs) and…

Gary Robinaugh; Maya L. Henry; Robert Cavanaugh; Stephanie M. Grasso – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a self-administered naming treatment for one individual, B.N., presenting with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method: Naming treatment included components of Lexical Retrieval Cascade Treatment and was…

Scholl, Dominique I.; McCabe, Patricia; Nickels, Lyndsey; Ballard, Kirrie J. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: To date, studies have not explored whether a dual diagnosis of aphasia plus apraxia of speech (AOS) versus aphasia alone (APH) affects the response to language-based naming treatments. Aims: To compare the effects of semantic feature analysis (SFA) treatment for individuals with APH versus aphasia plus AOS, and to test if the presence…

Seongsil Lee; Yasmeen Faroqi-Shah – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The present meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of anomia treatment in bilingual and multilingual persons with aphasia (BPWAs) by assessing the magnitudes of six anomia treatment outcomes. Three of the treatment outcomes pertained to the "trained language": improvement of trained words (treatment effect [TE]),…

Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Casilio, Marianne; Dickey, Michael Walsh; Steel, Stacey; Nicholson, Hannele; Fleegle, Mikala; Swiderski, Alexander; Hula, William D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Item response theory (IRT) is a modern psychometric framework with several advantageous properties as compared with classical test theory. IRT has been successfully used to model performance on anomia tests in individuals with aphasia; however, all efforts to date have focused on noun production accuracy. The purpose of this study is to…

Braun, Emily J.; Kiran, Swathi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The impact of stimulus-level psycholinguistic variables and personlevel semantic and phonological processing skills on treatment outcomes in individuals with aphasia requires further examination to inform clinical decision making in treatment prescription and stimuli selection. This study investigated the influence of stimulus-level…

Carlos Rojas; Bernardo Riffo; Ernesto Guerra – SAGE Open, 2023
Older adults show a progressive cognitive decline, and although language processing appears to resist advancing age, studies in word retrieval report that elders show important difficulties. Previous research reports that such failures increase from age 70 years, which suggests that during the fourth age word retrieval would exhibit even stronger…

Barnali Mazumdar; Nora De la Mora; Teresa Roberts; Alexander Swiderski; Maria Kapantzoglou; Gerasimos Fergadiotis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Anomia, or word-finding difficulty, is a prevalent and persistent feature of aphasia, a neurogenic language disorder affecting millions of people in the United States. Anomia assessments are essential for measuring performance and monitoring outcomes in clinical settings. This study aims to evaluate the reliability of response time (RT)…

Michèle Masson-Trottier; Karine Marcotte; Elizabeth Rochon; Carol Leonard; Ana Inés Ansaldo – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Over 50% of individuals with aphasia face ongoing word-finding issues. Studies have found phonologically oriented therapy helpful for English speakers, but this has not yet been studied in French. It is essential to assess the effectiveness of such a therapy in French, considering the distinct linguistic typologies between both…

Middleton, Erica L.; Schuchard, Julia; Rawson, Katherine A. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
It is uncontroversial in psychological research that different schedules of practice, which govern the distribution of practice over time, can promote radically different outcomes in terms of gains in performance and durability of learning. In contrast, in speech-language treatment research, there is a critical need for well-controlled studies…

Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Hula, William D.; Swiderski, Alexander M.; Lei, Chia-Ming; Stacey Kellough – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: In this study, we investigated the agreement between the 175-item Philadelphia Naming Test (PNT; Roach, Schwartz, Martin, Grewal, & Brecher, 1996) and a 30-item computer adaptive PNT (PNT-CAT; Fergadiotis, Kellough, & Hula, 2015; Hula, Kellough, & Fergadiotis, 2015) created using item response theory (IRT) methods. Method: The…

Kendall, Diane L.; Moldestad, Megan Oelke; Allen, Wesley; Torrence, Janaki; Nadeau, Stephen E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The ultimate goal of anomia treatment should be to achieve gains in exemplars trained in the therapy session, as well as generalization to untrained exemplars and contexts. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of phonomotor treatment, a treatment focusing on enhancement of phonological sequence knowledge, against semantic…
