“…This has been the case for therapies designed specifically to treat verbs [5][6]9,15], and for those treatments derived from or applied to different grammatical form classes [11,14,16]. This lack of generalization to untrained verbs, even to semantically related verbs, concurs with findings from studies of treatment of object name retrieval, in which response generalization has been a relatively rare occurrence [17].…”

“…However, an increasing number of investigations have addressed treatment of verb retrieval [5][6][7][8][9]. Targeting verb retrieval is potentially an important component of aphasia rehabilitation because verbs not only carry critical meaning but also have important functions in the structural formulation of sentences [10].…”

“…Although improvements in naming have been restricted to trained verbs, changes in the production of sentences and/or discourse have been reported following verb-retrieval training [6][7]9,18]. However, findings regarding such changes have been mixed, both within and across studies examining pre-and posttreatment discourse abilities.…”

Abstract-This investigation examined the effects of a semantic feature training procedure on retrieval of action names in a participant with anomic aphasia. Treatment was applied sequentially across two sets of action names in the context of a multiple baseline design across behaviors. Treatment effects were evaluated in terms of naming of trained and untrained actions. Discourse production effects were also examined with respect to verbal productivity, informativeness, and production of nouns and verbs. Increased accuracy of naming was observed for both sets of trained action names, with increases being maintained at 6 weeks posttreatment. However, accuracy of responding did not reach preestablished criterion levels. Repeated exposure to stimulus items without training resulted in unstable and temporary increases in naming accuracy. No changes were observed in accuracy of naming of untrained actions that were measured only at pre-and posttreatment intervals. Increases in verbal productivity and informativeness in discourse production were associated with the treatment.

“…In a follow-up study, Berndt, Haendiges, Mitchum, and Sandson (1997a) found that when verbs were provided to individuals with verb retrieval deficits, some, but not all, produced "better-formed" sentences. Marshall et al (1998) also showed in an individual case study that providing the verb for the individual improved sentence production abilities. The findings of our study support these observations.…”

“…When the individuals were provided with a verb, their sentence production abilities were enhanced. Similarly, Marshall, Pring, and Chiat (1998) presented a case of an individual with agrammatic aphasia who had intact verb semantics and verb argument structure information, but was unable to produce verbs or well formed sentences. When a verb was provided for her, sentence production abilities improved.…”

The Rise and Fall of Frequency and Imageability: Noun and Verb Production in Semantic Dementia

et al. 2000

This study examines the impact of progressive degeneration of conceptual knowledge on the content words used in connected speech elicited using the Cookie Theft picture description (Goodglass & Kaplan. 1983). We began with an analysis of control subjects' descriptions with regard to word types and their frequency and imageability. Because the impairment of conceptual knowledge in semantic dementia is graded by concept familiarity, we created a model of a standardized normal Cookie Theft description that was then progressively degraded by the systematic removal of lower bands of word frequency. We drew two main predictions from this model: reduced availability of the lower bands of word frequency should result in (a) an apparent deficit for noun retrieval in relation to verb retrieval and (b) an apparent reverse imageability effect. Results from a longitudinal study. in which three patients with semantic dementia each described the Cookie Theft picture on three occasions during the progression of their disease, confirmed these predictions. An additional cross-sectional analysis, adding narratives from a larger number of cases, demonstrated that the decline in ability to produce suitable words for the picture description is closely related to the extent of semantic impairment as measured in tests of word comprehension and production. Both verbs and nouns are affected by the degradation of semantic memory; the fact that the impairment to noun production is manifested earlier and more catastrophically may be attributed to the relatively lower frequency of these terms.
