A Meta-Analysis of Word-Finding Treatments for Aphasia
Wisenburn, B., & Mahoney, K. (2009).
Aphasiology, 23(11), 1338-1352.
Added: May 2012 |
Description
This is a meta-analysis of studies investigating word-finding treatments (phonological, semantic and mixed treatment approaches) for individuals with aphasia.
Conclusions
-
The authors conclude that word finding treatments using a semantic, phonological or mixed treatment approach are efficacious for individuals with aphasia. However, no conclusions could be drawn to suggest that one intervention approach was better than another.
- Effect sizes were reportedly high for all treatments with maintenance of effect remaining substantial (0.48) 3 months post-treatment.
