Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to identify predictors of response to phonological-focused anomia treatment in people with aphasia. The main question it aims to answer is who responds to which type of anomia treatment. Researchers will compare Phonomotor Treatment and Phonological Components Analysis to see which treatment is more beneficial, and for whom. Participants will engage in both treatments over several months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will complete screening and characterization testing to determine eligibility for the study. Each treatment will be administered twice a week, for 10-15 sessions. Pre-treatment and post-treatment testing will also occur for each treatment. There will be a period of no treatment in between the first and second treatment blocks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PMT

Phonomotor Treatment (PMT) will be administered. This treatment improves anomia by training the sound sequences of words. This is a multimodal treatment approach that includes listening, producing, visualizing, and describing sounds and sound sequences. The participant practices the sound sequence tasks with the clinician.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Phonomotor Treatment (PMT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Anomia treatment focuses on improving word-finding abilities. This intervention targets the phonology of words to improve word-finding.

PCA

Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) will be administered. This treatment improves anomia by identifying phonological features of words. A picture is presented. The participant provides features of the picture name: the first sound of the word, the final sound of the word, the number of syllables of the word, another word that starts with the same sound, and another words that rhymes with the word. The participant attempts to produce the word independently and by repeating after the clinician.
