“…These participants showed treatment effects that were similar to those demonstrated by in-person participants (see Meyer, Getz, Brennan, Hu, & Friedman, 2015). For these telerehabilitation participants, the majority of the evaluation sessions and all of the treatment and practice sessions were conducted via videoconferencing.…”

This study evaluated the efficacy of phonological and orthographic treatments for anomia in the semantic and logopenic variants of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA and lvPPA). Both treatments were administered for six months. The treatment stimuli consisted of nouns that were consistently named correctly at baseline (prophylaxis items) and/or nouns that were consistently named incorrectly at baseline (remediation items). Oral naming accuracy was measured for trained and untrained picture exemplars, as well as matched items from an untrained condition (UC). Written naming and scene description tasks were also conducted. For all tasks, the change in naming accuracy from baseline to one month post-treatment was compared between UC and each treatment condition. These comparisons indicated that both treatments were effective in the remediation and prophylaxis of anomia in both variants. Furthermore, generalization to untrained exemplars occurred in both subtypes, whereas item generalization occurred in lvPPA, and task generalization was present in svPPA.

“…Pictures from Exemplar set 3 were only used as foils during treatment. Exemplar sets 1 and 2 have high name agreement, as determined by norming conducted with unimpaired controls (see Meyer, Tippett, et al, 2016). See Figure 1 for an example item.…”

“…During this time period, each participant used training cards to perform the treatment tasks with a caregiver three times per week. Three individuals participated remotely (see Meyer, Getz, et al, 2016), and the experimenter conducted all sessions with these participants, including home practice. For all participants, one treatment session was also conducted by the experimenter each month to help ensure that the participant was performing the tasks correctly and to help the participant remain engaged in the study.…”

Background Structural imaging has not been used previously to predict the effect of treatment in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Aims This study examined relationships between baseline brain volume and the effects of phonological and orthographic treatments for anomia in PPA. It was predicted that lower baseline volume would be associated with lower post-treatment naming accuracy for treated items and smaller generalization effects. Methods & Procedures Twenty-one individuals with PPA participated. The treatment stimuli consisted of nouns that were consistently named correctly at baseline (Prophylaxis items) and/or nouns that were consistently named incorrectly at baseline (Remediation items). All 21 participants had Prophylaxis items, while 10 participants had Remediation items. Naming accuracy for untrained and trained items (Exemplar set 1) was measured. In addition, stimulus generalization was examined by having participants name an alternative exemplar of each untrained and trained item (Exemplar set 2). Correlational analyses focused on the relationships between naming accuracy and volume of regions previously identified as having a role in naming and semantic processing. Outcomes & Results Unexpectedly, there were no significant correlations between baseline volume and post-treatment accuracy for treated items. However, baseline volume within the left temporal pole was positively correlated with post-treatment accuracy for Untrained Exemplar set 2 Prophylaxis items, while baseline volume in the left inferior temporal gyrus was positively correlated with post-treatment accuracy for Untrained Exemplar set 1 Remediation items. Conclusions These findings suggest that lower volume in the left temporal pole is associated with decline for Untrained items, while lower volume in the left inferior temporal gyrus is associated with a lack of improvement for Untrained items. Possible explanations for the different patterns observed across Exemplar sets are discussed.
