Adaptive Trial Scheduling in Naming Treatment for Aphasia

"Each of the 200 target words for practice are presented on a schedule determined by an algorithm that relies on the pattern of correct vs. incorrect responses for each item. Items in the active learning state need to be answered correctly a certain number of times before being categorized as learned. Each item must be answered correctly 3 times in a row (immediately, then at one-minute and five-minute intervals) before it is categorized as learned. Then, it will be scheduled at ever-increasing intervals, until answered incorrectly, at which point the item would be returned to the active learning state, requiring three correct responses in a row to return again to the learned expanding interval state."

Each of the 200 target words for practice are presented in sequential order randomized within blocks, with each word presented once before the list repeats.

Each of the 40 target words for practice are presented in sequential order randomized within blocks, with each word presented once before the list repeats.
