DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project aims to examine the effects of treatment for verb production deficits found in non-fluent aphasic individuals, as a first step in developing a clinically efficacious treatment approach for sentence production deficits in aphasia. In this project we will test the hypothesis that training verbs in association with noun arguments frequently associated with them will lead to faster acquisition and better retention over time than training single verbs as is often done in traditional verb treatment. In addition, we propose to show that our treatment approach (i.e., Semantically Enhanced Verb Retrieval Treatment - SEVR) will result in greater improvement in various aspects of production, including verb production and sentence production, than single verb training approach. Improved sentence production will likely result in improved communication, and potentially lead to improved social participation and satisfaction with life in individuals with aphasia (addressing the goals of Healthy People 2010 Focus Area 6: Disability and Secondary Conditions). To achieve our goal, we will compare the traditional, repetition-based verb treatment approach to SEVR treatment, using single-subject crossover treatment design with multiple baselines across behaviors. All participants will receive both treatments consecutively, following baselines. The order of treatment presentation will be counterbalanced across participants. The effects of the two treatments will be compared using the participants' performance on trained verb retrieval. Potential generalization will be examined by analyzing the participant's retrieval of untrained verbs, sentence production involving successfully retrieved verbs, and their narrative production. The effect of the treatment on the communication behaviors of the participants outside treatment will be assessed via a social validation measure (i.e., Communicative Effectiveness Index), to document potential improvement in social participation.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目旨在研究治疗非流利失语症患者中动词产生缺陷的效果，作为开发失语症句子产生缺陷临床有效治疗方法的第一步。在这个项目中，我们将测试的假设，训练动词与名词参数经常与他们相关联，将导致更快的收购和更好的保留随着时间的推移比训练单个动词，往往是在传统的动词治疗。此外，我们建议表明，我们的治疗方法（即，语义增强动词提取治疗（SEVR）将导致更大的改善，在各个方面的生产，包括动词生产和句子生产，比单一的动词训练方法。改善句子产生可能会改善沟通，并可能改善失语症患者的社会参与和生活满意度（实现健康人群2010年重点领域6：残疾和次要疾病的目标）。为了实现我们的目标，我们将比较传统的，基于重复的动词治疗方法与SEVR治疗，使用单受试者交叉治疗设计，多个行为基线。所有受试者将在基线后连续接受两种治疗。治疗介绍的顺序将在受试者中平衡。两种治疗方法的效果将通过受试者在动词提取训练中的表现进行比较。潜在的泛化将通过分析参与者的检索未经训练的动词，句子生产涉及成功检索动词，和他们的叙事生产。治疗对治疗外参与者沟通行为的影响将通过社会验证措施（即，沟通效率指数），以记录社会参与的潜在改善。
