Verbs with low concreteness may be especially important for certain functional uses, and yet limited data regarding their response to treatment are available. This study was designed to examine a novel behavioral treatment approach to improve low concreteness verb naming in persons with aphasia.Method Three persons with nonfluent aphasia participated in a single-subject experimental design research study examining the feasibility of the novel treatment. The treatment was based on approaches that target the verb as the central node of meaning during sentence construction. The primary outcome measure was a sentence completion probe. Effects on untreated stimuli and on general language and naming assessments were also examined.Results Results indicated some limited changes associated with the treatment for two of the participants. Treatment performance data suggested possible improvements in verb processing that were not reflected in the primary outcome measure. Modest decreases in aphasia severity were noted for two of the participants.Conclusions The findings provide further support for targeting verbal production of verbs with low concreteness in aphasia. Several lessons learned may benefit future researchers examining areas related to the topic.KEYWORDS: Aphasiatreatmentabstractconcretenessverbs AcknowledgementSpecial thanks to Lisa Johnson and Heather Bailey for their assistance with this project.

Strong","doi":"10.1080/02687038.2023.2272956","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02687038.2023.2272956","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTBackground Sharing stories is a way that people make meaning out of life and connect with others socially. For couples in which one person has aphasia, the ability to have conversations and share stories may be disrupted. Many people with aphasia benefit from support in constructing and sharing stories with others. To share experiences with his wife, the spouse of a person with aphasia developed an intervention approach called Aphasia-Friendly Reading that supports oral storytelling and sharing stories with others.Aim The current study explored the experiences of care partners in a pilot study using the Aphasia-Friendly Reading approach.Methods & Procedures Three people with aphasia and their care partners participated in the Aphasia-Friendly Reading pilot study one hour per week for 9 to 14 weeks. Following the pilot program, each care partner was interviewed about their experience participating in the study. Interview data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.Outcome & Results Three major themes were identified: (1) Care partner empowerment, (2) Collaboration, and (3) Different therapy experience. Care partners expressed that they were “totally involved” in all stages of the intervention and that they highly valued being involved. Further, care partners reported specific ways that they started taking initiative in supporting their partner with aphasia outside of the sessions. Care partners described the project as collaborative, noting the role of all participants in story co-construction and mentioning how they both taught and learned from graduate student clinicians. The care partners reported that the project was distinctly different from their previous therapy experiences, noting that they appreciated the person-centeredness of the stories, the fun of working together in sessions, and the opportunity to share their stories with the aphasia group.Conclusion The results indicated that the care partners experienced benefits of being actively included in the Aphasia-Friendly Reading approach. The approach appears to be harmonious with core values of the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia and research on the value of considering aphasia to be a family issue rather than an individual issue.KEYWORDS: care partnersnarrativescript trainingoral readingaphasia AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank the participants and families and the members of the Wichita Adult Language Lab, Taylor Brandenberger, Sydney Brown, Ellasyn Heuer, Addison Powell, and Madison Zwanziger for serving as graduate clinicians and Sabrina Gooch, Logan Patterson, Emily Ray, and Madeline Rondeau for transcription support, and the audience of the Aphasia Access Leadership Summit 2021 Brag and Steal session for encouragement in the early phase of this project.CRediT Author StatementErin O’Bryan: conceptualisation, writing–original draft, review and editing, visualisation, investigation, supervision, analysis.

{"title":"An electrophysiological and behavioral investigation of feedback-based learning in aphasia","authors":"Kristen Nunn, Yael Arbel, Sofia Vallila-Rohter","doi":"10.1080/02687038.2023.2267780","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02687038.2023.2267780","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIntroduction Feedback is a fundamental aspect of aphasia treatments. However, learning from feedback is a cognitively demanding process. At the most basic level, individuals must detect feedback and extract outcome-related information (i.e., feedback processing). Neuroanatomical and neuropsychological differences associated with post-stroke aphasia may influence feedback processing and potentially how people with aphasia (PWA) respond to feedback-based treatments. To better understand how post-stroke aphasia affects feedback-based learning, the current study leverages event-related potentials (ERPs) to (1) characterize the relationship between feedback processing and learning, (2) identify cognitive skills that are associated with feedback processing, and (3) identify behavioural correlates of feedback-based learning in PWA.Methods Seventeen PWA completed a feedback-based novel word learning task. Feedback processing was measured using the feedback-related negativity (FRN), an ERP hypothesized to reflect the detection and evaluation of outcomes communicated via feedback. Individuals also completed neuropsychological assessments of language (phonological processing, verbal short-term memory) and executive functioning.Results PWA elicited an FRN that was sensitive to feedback valence. The magnitude of the FRN was not associated with novel word learning but was strongly correlated with performance on another feedback-based task, the Berg Card Sort. Cognitive variables (information updating, selective attention) but not language variables were associated with novel word learning.Discussion & Conclusion For PWA, feedback processing may be associated with learning in some but not all feedback-based contexts. These findings may inform future research in determining which variables moderate the relationship between feedback processing and learning with the long-term goal of identifying how feedback can be modified to support successful learning during aphasia rehabilitation.KEYWORDS: Aphasiafeedbacklearningevent-related potentialsfeedback-related negativity AcknowledgmentsThank you, Asiya Gul, for your support with EEG data processing; Kesi Cania, for assistance with behavioural data processing and double scoring; and Victoria Tilton-Bolowsky for your feedback on this manuscript.
