| Abstract: |
Examined the effects of unsupervised, computerized rehabilitation tasks on anomic aphasia. Three male stroke patients (aged 57-71 yrs) completed an unsupervised, home-based progressive computer rehabilitation program comprising semantic and phonemic tasks and written naming tasks. Results show that all Ss improved in their general naming performance, but to different degrees. A relatively specific effect for the trained words was found in 2 Ss, whereas the 3rd S showed a somewhat more general effect. It is concluded that oral naming can be improved with unsupervised computer rehabilitation in the home, even without speaking. |
