The training of verb production in Broca's aphasia: A multiple‐baseline across‐behaviours studyFootnote

This project has financially been supported by grants from the Beatrixoord Foundation (Stichting Beatrixoord Noord‐Nederland) and the Dutch Aphasia Foundation (Stichting Afasie Nederland).

The authors would like to thank Audrey Holland, Dirk‐Bart den Ouden, and Sharon Parry for their comments on an earlier version of the paper.
