“…s38, s39 Furthermore, generalisation across tasks occurs when the tasks share psycholinguistic mechanisms (eg, training novel phoneme sequences to strengthen the phonological system can generalise to improvements in word retrieval 53 and reading.) 54 Improvements in discourse, which are important for generalisation across contexts, have been found in approaches that treat longer utterances, such as CILT 55 and verb network strengthening treatment. 56 However, the variables that influence different types of generalisation and the underlying mechanisms required for generalisation to occur remain incompletely understood.…”

Given the profound impact of language impairment after stroke (aphasia), neuroplasticity research is garnering considerable attention as means for eventually improving aphasia treatments and how they are delivered. Functional and structural neuroimaging studies indicate that aphasia treatments can recruit both residual and new neural mechanisms to improve language function and that neuroimaging modalities may hold promise in predicting treatment outcome. In relatively small clinical trials, both non-invasive brain stimulation and behavioural manipulations targeting activation or suppression of specific cortices can improve aphasia treatment outcomes. Recent language interventions that employ principles consistent with inducing neuroplasticity also are showing improved performance for both trained and novel items and contexts. While knowledge is rapidly accumulating, larger trials emphasising how to select optimal paradigms for individualised aphasia treatment are needed. Finally, a model of how to incorporate the growing knowledge into clinical practice could help to focus future research.

“…6,12 Moreover, generalization has been seen across language tasks with improvement in untrained nonword repetition, 6 as well as improvement in untrained real word and nonword reading and discourse occurring for some participants after phonomotor treatment. 12,41 Finally, changes in general cognitive processes, as reflected by changes in the types of naming errors produced over the course of treatment, have also been captured after phonomotor treatment. 42,43…”

Phonological Treatment Approaches for Spoken Word Production in Aphasia

2017

This article provides an overview of phonological treatment approaches for anomia in individuals with aphasia. The role of phonology in language processing, as well as the impact of phonological impairment on communication is initially discussed. Then, traditional phonologically based treatment approaches, including phonological, orthographic, indirect, guided, and mixed cueing methods, are described. Collectively, these cueing treatment approaches aim to facilitate word retrieval by stimulating residual phonological abilities. An alternative treatment approach, phonomotor treatment, is also examined. Phonomotor treatment aims to rebuild sublexical, phonological sequence knowledge and phonological awareness as a means to strengthen lexical processing and whole-word naming. This treatment is supported by a parallel-distributed processing model of phonology and therefore promotes multimodal training of individual phonemes and phoneme sequences in an effort to enhance the neural connectivity supporting underlying phonological processing mechanisms. The article concludes with suggestions for clinical application and implementation.

“…Attempts to retrain grapheme-to-phoneme conversion rules or phonomotor processing have met with mixed success in phonological and deep alexia (De Partz, 1986; Mitchum and Berndt, 1991; Nickels, 1992; Conway et al , 1998; Kendall et al , 1998, 2003; Adair et al , 2000; Kiran et al , 2001; Friedman and Lott, 2002; Yampolsky and Waters, 2002; Stadie and Rilling, 2006; Kim and Beaudoin-Parsons, 2007; Brookshire et al , 2014 a ; Riley and Thompson, 2014). Such sublexical approaches can be painstakingly slow, but have the advantage of generalizing to untrained words.…”
