Background: Verb impairments in aphasia have generated considerable theoretical interest in the literature (Druks, ; Druks & Masterson, ; Marshall, ) but this is not reflected in the number of studies investigating therapies for verb impairments (Conroy, Sage, & Lambon Ralph, ). Recent anomia therapy studies have compared errorless and errorful techniques (Abel, Schultz, Radermacher, Willmes, & Huber, ; Fillingham, Hodgson, Sage, & Lambon Ralph, ; Fillingham, Sage, & Lambon Ralph, , , 2006). Decreasing cues have been proposed as the optimal interaction of low error and sustained effort in therapy in the amnesia literature (Komatsu, Mimura, Kato, Wakamatsu, & Kashima, ). Following on from Conroy, Sage, and Lambon Ralph , we predicted that decreasing cue therapy would result in greater effects in terms of both naming accuracy and speed relative to increasing cues.

Aims: The present study aimed to …
