Towards theory‐driven therapies for aphasic verb impairments: A review of current theory and practice

Abstract: Background: This review is intended for both theoretically and clinically motivated audiences with an interest in aphasic verb impairments. Aims: Building from previous reviews, our aim is to provide a concise summary of the relevant theoretical research and perspectives on verbs, and from this theoretical foundation to explore which aspects have been incorporated and tested in therapy studies. Main Contribution: In the theoretical domain, the review first considers the patterns of verb and noun impairments in… Show more

“…Despite changes in the noun content of the argument slots, transfer of learning was observed. This is consistent with observations of stronger generalisation of therapy effects to connected speech that have been observed in verb production therapies as compared to noun therapies (Conroy, Sage, & Lambon Ralph, 2006). By contrast, the shared noun sentences showed the most fragile transfer effects, and perhaps surprisingly, performance was inferior on these partially treated sentences compared to entirely untreated sentences.…”

“…A decrease in the ability to retrieve verbs will often manifest itself in poorly formed sentences (Murray & Karcher, 2000). This is not surprising given that verbs are considered to carry information about phrasal structure specifications, thematic roles, argument structure and inflection and therefore play a pivotal role in the grammatical construction of sentences (Conroy, Sage, & Lambon, 2006;Druks, 2002;Wambaugh, Cameron, Kalinyak-Fliszar, Nessler, & Wright, 2004). While it is accepted that communication is indeed possible with reduced sentence construction, this communication is by its nature limited.…”

“…Historically, the literature has concentrated on the retrieval of nouns (Conroy, Sage, & Lambon-Ralph, 2006;Murray & Karcher, 2000;Raymer & Ellsworth, 2002) but an increasing attention is now being afforded to the retrieval of verbs. Impairments in verb retrieval are commonly associated with poor sentence construction.…”

“…Similarly, there has been increased attention in aphasiology to better utilising semantic theory associated with verbs in order to better inform assessment and treatment of participants with language impairment (e.g. Conroy, Sage, & Lambon Ralph, 2006). However, without the necessary normative data underlying such investigations, the validity of any findings is open to question.…”
