Confrontation naming rehabilitation in aphasics: A computerised written technique

Abstract

This group study presents the structure, content, and results of a computerised rehabilitation technique of confrontation naming applied to aphasics patients (n = 18). The global analyses indicated specific effects of written confrontation naming training. Improvements generalized from drilled to non-drilled items in written naming, but also from written trained modality to verbal non-trained namings. This rinding is of practical importance for the rehabilitation of word-finding and naming difficulties in aphasic patients.
