Using Orthographic-phonological Cue and Phonological Priming to Facilitate Verb Retrieval in A Cantonese Anomic Speaker

Using Orthographic-phonological cue 2 This study investigated the effects of a phonologically based treatment on the ability in verb retrieval of a 51-year-old Cantonese anomic speaker using a multiple-baseline design. Nature of generalization effect was also examined. The treatment protocol involved a cueing hierarchy utilizing orthographic-phonological cue and phonological priming. The treatment was effective in improving the naming of treated verbs. Generalization to phonologically related untrained items but not the semantically related ones or the controls was noted. Treatment effect was maintained for at least one month. Possible reasons that may explain the treatment and specific generalization effects are discussed. The findings from this study suggested that treatment protocol can facilitate the retrieval of verb but not only that of noun. Using Orthographic-phonological cue
