Background-Formal linguistic properties of sentences-both lexical, i.e., argument structure, and syntactic, i.e., movement-as well as what is known about normal and disordered sentence processing and production, were considered in the development of Treatment of Underlying Forms (TUF), a linguistic approach to treatment of sentence deficits in patients with agrammatic aphasia. TUF is focused on complex, non-canonical sentence structures and operates on the premise that training underlying, abstract, properties of language will allow for effective generalisation to untrained structures that share similar linguistic properties, particularly those of lesser complexity.

“…Instead, M. Dickey and Yoo (2010) found that therapy outcomes for syntacticbased sentence-production treatment were significantly correlated with general auditory comprehension ability (i.e., single word and sentence comprehension), as measured by the Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz, 2007). Consistent with this finding, Murray, Ballard, and Karcher (2004) also provide evidence to support the influence of general auditory comprehension ability, measured across linguistic levels using the Aphasia Diagnostic…”

“…Individuals' lexical-semantic processing ability was calculated by taking the sum of participants' singleword auditory and written comprehension scores from the CAT. As such, this lexicalsemantic measure also provides a measure of participants' auditory and written comprehension, which has previously been found to influence aphasia therapy outcomes (Murray et al, 2004;Paolucci et al, 2005). These findings suggest that consideration of individuals' (input) lexical-semantic processing ability may provide clinically useful information about individuals' potential response to linguistic-based word retrieval treatment.…”

“…As such, it is possible that aphasia severity and comprehension deficits may have also influenced participants' response to therapy Marshall, Tompkins, & Phillips, 1982;Murray et al, 2004;Paolucci et al, 2005). Of those with semantic processing impairment, a comparable number of LIFT and D-LIFT participants responded to therapy.…”

“…This generalisation effect from complex to simpler material has also been shown at the lexical semantic level . Others have also shown that this design is very useful to measure improvement and generalisation in aphasia treatment (Maas, Barlow, Robin, & Shapiro, 2002;Murray, Ballard, & Karcher, 2004;Peach & Wong, 2004).…”

The training of verb production in Broca's aphasia: A multiple‐baseline across‐behaviours study

Background: Verb production is often impaired in Broca's aphasia: Action naming is more affected than object naming and in spontaneous speech the number and/or diversity of lexical verbs is low. Because verbs play a pivotal role in the sentence, these verb problems have a serious impact on the communicative contents of speech in daily life. Aims: The purpose of this study was to increase the informational content of spontaneous speech in two individuals with Broca's aphasia by training them in verb production. Methods & Procedures: Verb production was trained at the sentence level, using the treatment programme Verb Production at the Word and Sentence Level (Bastiaanse, Jonkers, Quak, & Varela, 1997). Six baseline sessions were planned, followed by a training programme to learn infinitives, finite verbs, and sentence construction in one participant and finite verbs, infinitives, and sentences in the other. The participants were tested each week for progress on infinitives and finite verbs not in the programme and an unrelated test. Pre-treatment and post-treatment (directly after and 3 months after treatment stopped) the Aachen Aphasia Test (AAT) and the Amsterdam-Nijmegen Everyday Language Test (ANELT) were administered and spontaneous speech was elicited and analysed with respect to verbs, nouns, and utterance length. Outcomes & Results: Both participants improved significantly on the production of untrained finite verbs. No improvement was made on the untrained infinitives. There was also significant improvement on related subtests of the AAT, but no improvement on unrelated subtests. Both also showed a significant improvement on verb production in spontaneous speech and in verbal communication, as measured on the ANELT. Conclusions. The treatment programme has been shown to be an effective tool for training participants in verb production. The most important criteria for relevant treatment were met: generalisation to spontaneous speech and improvement in verbal communication.
