| Abstract: |
A study by M. R. McNeil et al. (1997) reported no generalization effects in 2 individuals with aphasia following application of a word finding treatment in which Ss were trained sequentially on lexical items arranged by form class. The present investigation examined whether training on lexical items from a variety of form classes concurrently would result in greater response generalization than was observed previously in this 63 yr old male S with aphasia. Results replicated earlier findings with positive acquisition and maintenance effects and little evidence of generalization to untrained items within or across form classes. |
