Inner Speech and Naming Treatment for Individuals with Aphasia

"In this alternating treatment single-subject experimental design study, the investigators will alternate between two treatment conditions, i.e., two different types of stimulus items: those that are consistently reported as successful IS prior to treatment (sIS items) and those that are consistently reported as unsuccessful IS prior to treatment (uIS items). The treatment will be computerized to ensure consistency of presentation, timing, and cues across participants.~For each stimulus presentation, the treatment hierarchy will proceed as follows:~1. Name the picture independently~2. Name the picture with a written cue~3. Repeat the name of the picture~4. Name the picture after a 5 second delay Each participant will be trained on a set of 40 items chosen specifically for them based on initial/baseline testing."
