Naming Flashcards
Semantic Feature Analysis
Boyle & Coelho (1995)
Improve word retrieval by strengthening the underlying semantic networks associated with a single word
This helps improve pts lexical organization and ability to draw upon words more quickly in speech
if person cannot name >6 words on BNT, SFA not realistic
Good for fluent (Boyle, 2004 study)
Based on spreading activation theory (Collins & Loftus, 1975) - if you have individual work on semantic network by identifying functions, attributes of word it will help with speed & activation of word processing
To increase __’s word retrieval skills, a systematic approach, such as SFA should be taken. SFA uses picture and written information as a support, which will capitalize on ___’s strengths and benefit the client by helping her access meaning through multiple modality input.
Carryover would help X improve word finding difficulties by building on semantic features of items when in the moment of difficulty.
Improve verbal expression, writing, and reading using Semantic Feature Analysis (Boyle & Coelho) to increase productive & receptive vocabulary. Targets should include single words and short phrases, as the client shows most success with these structures. These targets should be presented in combination of pictured, written, and auditory forms to capitalize on X’s strengths with multi-modal input.
Category Sorting
Drew & Thompson (1999)
Strengthen associations in the semantic networks to improve picture naming
AC must be intact
give pt pics and have them sort them into their superordinate category (2 categories)
ask pt yes/no questions to test their semantic judgment
Modify maybe using phonological/orthographic form
Phonological Components Analysis
Leonard et. al 2008
Improves access to phonological system for naming
Good for pt with impairment below SS (so SOL, PL)
Semantic Category Rhyme Therapy (SCRT)
Spencer et al (2000)
hyrbid of semantic/phonological tx for naming
Approach that uses semantic support (to help facilitate naming, capitalize on strengths) by providing superordinate category & rhyming word
Pt is asked to name the target (e.g. what is a 4 legged animal that rhymes with course) then repeat rhyme & target (course horse)
Pt is shown written word and asked to copy it
feedback given on error, then pt asked to copy and say pair again
PACE
Promoting Aphasaics Communicative Effectiveness
Davis & Wilcox (1985) = METHOD, MODIFY IT, ALWAYS
NEED AC : dyadic/barrier game format
don’t have to use the verbs given, can choose own stimuli, incorporate SFA, PCA as cueing
AOS: consider phonemic, syllables, length
Semantic Deficit: consider freq of targets (imageabiltiy, tangibility)
basically, PACE=training circumlocutory skills
can use PACE as a constraint activity in fluent aphasics
Substitutive Treatments for Naming
Writing
Gesturing
AAC
Treatment Starting Points
start with objects/tactile cues start with repetition and fade repetition cues semantic map for each item semantic map for specific category minimal pair contrast rhyme judgment/processing written naming as self cue visualize target carrier phrase categorization semantic feature disc rim synonyms/antonyms
Circumlocution
phonemic cueing
Neologisms
help build awareness of them (they will never correct unless they are aware of them)
if there are lots of neologisms, start with auditory comprehension
