Background: Semantic-based treatment is the salient approach used to remediate word retrieval deficits in persons with aphasia (PWAs). It is deemed to improve semantic attributes around the target word, thus aids in restoring word retrieval abilities. Hence, the present study has developed a semantic-based therapy named semantic cueing of verbs and its thematic role (SCVTr). Also, this therapy uses verbs as a core element accompanied by graded levels of semantic cues. Aim: The current study Semantic Cueing of Verbs and its Thematic role (SCVTr) aimed to evaluate the effect of word retrieval abilities in PWAs. Methods and Procedure: Three participants (n = 3) with aphasia were recruited for the study. All the participants in the study received SCVTr therapy, and the responses were analyzed at three distinct time points. That is pre-therapy assessment (before initiation of therapy), mid-therapy assessment (10th session), and post-therapy assessment (20th session). Nouns, verbs, and discourse abilities of PWAs were evaluated using standardized test batteries. Outcomes and Results: The study results have discerned positive gains across trained conditions and discourse genres across all the participants. However, participants exhibited marginal gains with untrained stimuli. In addition, SCVTr therapy aids in modifying the error pattern exhibited by PWAs. Concurrently, researchers noted that all participants showed ameliorated performance on the standardized language test batteries during post-therapy evaluation. Conclusions: SCVTr therapy has found to be effective in remediating word retrieval deficits in PWAs. This study extends the knowledge about strengthening the semantic network associated with the target word and its effect on generalization.

基于语义的治疗对失语症患者的有效性


背景:基于语义的治疗是用于治疗失语症患者(PWA)单词检索缺陷的重要方法。它被认为可以改善目标单词周围的语义属性,从而有助于恢复单词检索能力。因此,本研究开发了一种基于语义的疗法,称为动词语义提示及其主题角色(SCVTr)。此外,这种疗法使用动词作为核心元素,伴随着分级的语义线索。目的:当前研究的动词语义提示及其主题角色(SCVTr)旨在评估单词检索能力在 PWA 中的影响。方法和程序:三名参与者(n= 3) 招募患有失语症的人进行研究。研究中的所有参与者都接受了 SCVTr 治疗,并在三个不同的时间点分析了反应。即治疗前评估(治疗开始前)、治疗中评估(第 10会议)和治疗后评估(第 20会议)。使用标准化测试电池评估 PWA 的名词、动词和话语能力。结果和结果:研究结果在所有参与者的训练条件和话语类型中发现了积极的收益。然而,参与者在未经训练的刺激下表现出边际收益。此外,SCVTr 疗法有助于修改 PWA 表现出的错误模式。同时,研究人员指出,在治疗后评估期间,所有参与者在标准化语言测试电池上的表现都有所改善。结论:已发现 SCVTr 疗法可有效修复 PWA 中的单词检索缺陷。本研究扩展了关于加强与目标词相关的语义网络及其对泛化的影响的知识。
