| Abstract | Purpose: The influential relationship between executive functioning and aphasia rehabilitation outcomes has been addressed in a number of studies, but few have studied the effect of adding executive function training to linguistic therapies. The present study aimed to measure the effects of combining, within therapy sessions, executive function training and anomia therapy on naming and discourse abilities in people with chronic aphasia. Method: A single-case experimental design with multiple baselines across participants was used. Four persons with chronic post-stroke aphasia received 12 sessions of a tailored treatment combining executive function training and semantic feature analysis (SFA) therapy. Naming accuracy of treated items was examined over the course of the treatment while control naming scores of untreated items and discourse measures were collected pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, and 4 weeks post-treatment, in order to investigate the multidimensional effects of the treatment and their maintenance. Result: Naming skills improved in all participants for treated and untreated items, were maintained over time, and were accompanied by improved discourse abilities. Visual and statistical analyses showed a significant treatment effect for naming skills in three out of the four participants. Conclusion: A combination of executive function training and SFA treatment in people with chronic aphasia may improve both naming skills and discourse efficiency. Further studies are needed to substantiate these promising preliminary results. |
