Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is examining the use of intensive melodic intonation therapy and video feedback as a means of aiding individuals with nonfluent aphasia and co-occurring motor speech impairments. Individuals with nonfluent aphasia have difficulty with language, particularly with word retrieval.

Study Groups

Intervention

20 sessions/4 weeks:

Video Feedback:

S1) Participant (P1) views recording of previous session with the clinician \& judges whether the production is intelligible.

S2) S1 \& the clinician identifies changes in motor movements that are influencing performance.

S3+S4) S1+S2 \& given support from the clinician, P1 identifies techniques improving intelligibility \& modifies behavior accordingly.

MIT (Albert et al., 1973; Helm-Estabrooks et al., 2014):

Humming - Clinician introduces the target phrase by showing a visual cue, humming the phrase, then intoning the phrase while P1 taps left-hand.

Simultaneous production with melody - The Clinician and P1 melodically produce the target phrase \& tap together.

Simultaneous melodic production accompanied by gradual reduction of clinician support.

Immediate repetition response to probe question - Following P1's successful repetition, the clinician melodically produces a question and P1 melodically produces the target.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Melodic Intonation Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Melodic Intonation Therapy uses intonation and melody to aid individuals with aphasia with producing words.

Video Feedback Performance Review

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participant will view recording to judge correct and incorrect productions of trained words and to identify motor techniques increasing intelligibility
