Summary

This study tests a computer-based practice method to help people with aphasia—a language disorder often caused by stroke—retrieve words they know but struggle to say or understand. Participants practice naming pictures with or without cues, repeating items until they reach a set learning goal. The goal is to develop a self-administered treatment that could supplement traditional speech therapy for a broad range of severity levels.
