  • The evolution of word retrieval errors during semantic feature-based therapy in bilingual aphasia

    Open AccessMichael Scimeca, Claudia Peñaloza et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2026

    Bilinguals with aphasia routinely experience anomia in one or both of their languages that may be ameliorated by language treatment. Traditionally, treatment response has been captured by binary scoring systems that measure the presence or absence of improvement without examining how word retrieval attempts may change over time as a function of treatment. This study analyzed word retrieval errors and subsequent treatment outcomes for a group of 4…

  • Multilevel factors predict treatment response following semantic feature-based intervention in bilingual aphasia

    Open AccessMichael Scimeca, Claudia Peñaloza et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2024

    Semantic feature-based treatments (SFTs) are effective rehabilitation strategies for word retrieval deficits in bilinguals with aphasia (BWA). However, few studies have prospectively evaluated the effects of key parameters of these interventions on treatment outcomes. This study examined the influence of intervention-level (i.e., treatment language and treatment sessions), individual-level (baseline naming severity and age), and stimulus-level (i…
