“…During Phase III, an additional emphasis was placed on decreasing the perseverative stereotypy, 'Can I say too much forever?' The clinician utilized the Treatment of Aphasic Perseveration programme as described by Helm-Estabrooks, Emery, and Martin (1987). In addition to the intensive naming treatment in Spanish and English, the clinician made explicit the goal of minimizing GLP's use of her stereotypic phrase.…”

As bilingualism becomes less exceptional in the world, and with the growing incidence of stroke and aphasia, a better understanding of how bilingualism affects aphasia recovery is increasingly important. The present study examined the effect of intensive semantic naming therapy in three phases (Spanish, English and mixed) on within- and across-language generalization for cognates and non-cognates, in a bilingual individual with chronic, severe expressive aphasia. We hypothesized that cognates would positively influence cross-linguistic generalization, which might be more likely to occur from L2 to L1. Results indicate relative increases in confrontation naming ability in the following conditions: trained versus untrained, L1 versus L2 or mixed and non-cognates versus cognates. This participant demonstrated a pattern of results consistent with a differential recovery pattern in which presentation of treatment in both languages and training of cognates may have promoted interference, thus increasing the activation threshold, and lowering performance under these conditions.

“…Other methods are linguistic-oriented learning approaches such as the lexical-semantic therapy [77] or the mapping technique for the treatment of agrammatism [78]. There are also neurorehabilitation programmes for related neurobehavioural deficits such as attention deficits or perseveration [79]. Other techniques such as PACE [80], focus on the psychosocial and pragmatic aspects of communication.…”

“…To evaluate confrontation naming, one of two tests was given, either the standardized subtest of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination 38 or the TAP confrontation naming task. 39 Each task contains 38 items in seven semantic categories. The stimulus items were cards with black and white line drawings of objects.…”

Perseveration has been described as a reliable indicator of disturbed brain function and is a common characteristic of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This article will begin with a review of recent theories that account for the phenomenon of perseveration, and data from a National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)--supported study further delineate the nature of perseveration among individuals with AD. The study investigated the frequency of verbal perseveration in individuals with AD in relation to task type, mental status, and performance on attention and memory tests. Thirty Alzheimer's patients and 40 healthy elders were given a confrontation naming, generative naming, and picture description test. Perseveration was defined as a proportion of total number of responses. Data analysis revealed that individuals with AD perseverated more than normal elders did, but variability was high. Generative naming elicited more perseveration than either confrontation naming or picture description did. When overall frequency of perseveration was correlated with mental status and performance on attention and memory tests, seemingly paradoxical results were obtained, probably because the unique cognitive demands of each language test affected the probability of perseveration differently. Nonparadoxical, strong positive correlations were obtained, however, between language test scores and performance on tests of attention, memory and mental status.
