- Abstract
Objective: We investigated the efficacy of neuropsychological-approach-based treatment on the symptoms of anomia in patient with aphasia in the chronic stage. Design: A clinical study. Materials and Methods: After patients received confrontation naming 60 words, the words that failed in naming were classified into 2 sets. We carried out both semantic and phonological therapy using these 2 sets of words for two months, and measured the average correct answer before and after therapy. Results: While the semantic training was more effective in the treatment of aphasia with specific semantic dysfunction, the phonological therapy did not show any efficacy. In contrast, the patient having a deficit of specific phonological function successfully responded to phonological therapy without any efficacy in semantic therapy. Conclusions: With regard to meaning and phoneme training, an appropriate training should be provided according to the characteristics of aphasia.
