标题：Effects of Training Sentence to Picture-matching and Object Manipulation to Improve Sentence Comprehension in Aphasia: Acquisition and Generalization
摘要：In a previous study (Kiran, Caplan, et al., in press), we developed two treatments, one based on sentence to picturematching (SPM) and the other based on object manipulation (OM), that train patients on the relationship betweensyntactic structure and the meanings of sentences. We found the treatment to be effective in improving sentencecomprehension of trained stmctures in fifteen patients with aphasia. More patients improved on the OM task thanSPM task. In this study, we compared acquisition of trained structures and generalization to untrained structures andtasks across the two treatment approaches (SPM/OM).
