摘要：Aphasia interventions that do not require verbal responses can be beneficial when verbal errors are prevalent and frustrating for the individual (Davis, Harrington, & Baynes, 2006; Davis, Farias, & Baynes, 2009). Such interventions are based on improvements of reaction time and accuracy during semantic and phonological priming, a benefit believed to arise from activation of neural networks, and well-documented in flS/IRI studies (e.g. RuÇ Blumstein, Myers, & Hutchinson, 2008). Tms study compares a semantic decision-based verb intervention free of production errors with a conventional intervention requiring speech production in an individual with fluent aphasia.
