Phonologic Rehabilitation of Anomia in Aphasia

would like to thank the subjects and their families for their participation and support of this research. Kendall et al. 2 ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effects of an intensive phonologic treatment for anomia in aphasia. The theoretical motivation for this investigation was based on a parallel distributed processing model of phonology (Nadeau, 2001). We proposed that if treatment were directed at the level of the phonologic processor (e.g. phonemes and phoneme sequences), opportunities for naming via a phonological route, as opposed to a strictly whole word route, would be enhanced, thereby improving naming. Ten individuals with chronic anomia and aphasia due to lef
