DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project aims to examine the effects of treatment for verb production deficits found in non-fluent aphasic individuals, as a first step in developing a clinically efficacious treatment approach for sentence production deficits in aphasia. In this project we will test the hypothesis that training verbs in association with noun arguments frequently associated with them will lead to faster acquisition and better retention over time than training single verbs as is often done in traditional verb treatment. In addition, we propose to show that our treatment approach (i.e., Semantically Enhanced Verb Retrieval Treatment - SEVR) will result in greater improvement in various aspects of production, including verb production and sentence production, than single verb training approach. Improved sentence production will likely result in improved communication, and potentially lead to improved social participation and satisfaction with life in individuals with aphasia (addressing the goals of Healthy People 2010 Focus Area 6: Disability and Secondary Conditions). To achieve our goal, we will compare the traditional, repetition-based verb treatment approach to SEVR treatment, using single-subject crossover treatment design with multiple baselines across behaviors. All participants will receive both treatments consecutively, following baselines. The order of treatment presentation will be counterbalanced across participants. The effects of the two treatments will be compared using the participants' performance on trained verb retrieval. Potential generalization will be examined by analyzing the participant's retrieval of untrained verbs, sentence production involving successfully retrieved verbs, and their narrative production. The effect of the treatment on the communication behaviors of the participants outside treatment will be assessed via a social validation measure (i.e., Communicative Effectiveness Index), to document potential improvement in social participation.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在研究非素养失语症患者中的动词生产缺陷的治疗作用，这是开发失语症中刑期生产缺陷的临床有效治疗方法的第一步。在这个项目中，我们将测试以下假设：与传统动词治疗中通常这样做的那样，与训练单个动词相比，与训练单个动词相比，与训练单个动词相比，经常与它们相关的名词论点相关的训练动词将导致更快的获取和更好的保留率。此外，我们建议表明我们的治疗方法（即，语义增强的动词检索治疗-SEVR）将导致生产的各个方面的改善，包括动词的产生和句子的产生，而不是单个动词训练方法。改善的句子生产可能会改善沟通，并有可能改善失语症患者的社会参与和对生活的满意度（解决健康人的目标2010重点领域6：残疾和次要条件）。为了实现我们的目标，我们将使用跨行为的多个基线的单个受试者跨界处理设计比较传统的基于重复的动词治疗方法来进行SEVR治疗。所有参与者将在基线之后连续接受这两种治疗。治疗表现的顺序将在参与者之间平衡。使用参与者的表现对受过训练的动词检索进行比较，将比较两种治疗方法的影响。通过分析参与者的未经训练动词的检索，涉及成功检索动词的句子生产以及其叙事作品，将检查潜在的概括。将通过社会验证措施（即沟通有效性指数）评估治疗对外部治疗参与者沟通行为的影响，以记录社会参与的潜在改善。
