This volume focuses on the remediation of impairments of word
production in aphasia. It is restricted to studies focusing on
single word production and comprises papers by some of the
researchers most active in this field worldwide. The scope of the
papers is broad and includes many relatively under-researched areas
and techniques. All the papers have in common a methodological
rigour and the use of a single case or case-series approach. A
range of treatment tasks are evaluated: 'phonological' tasks such
as phonological cueing and word repetition, and judgements
regarding the phonological form; 'orthographic' tasks such as
orthographic cueing, word reading and writing to dictation;
'semantic' tasks such as semantic cueing; the use of gesture;
computer presentation of tasks and even just repeated attempts at
naming. In addition, the individuals treated using these techniques
varied in the nature of their impairments and/or level of
impairment that was targeted. The majority aimed to improve word
retrieval generally, but one treatment was aimed specifically at
verb retrieval, and another at improving accuracy of word
production for an individual with a phonological encoding
impairment. Each paper relates the outcome of treatment to
theoretical accounts of impairment, and one explicitly uses the
results of therapy to inform these theories. Taken together these
papers provide a snapshot of the 'state of the art' in the
rehabilitation of word production in aphasia.
