Novel word learning has been rarely studied in people with aphasia (PWA), although it can
provide a relatively pure measure of their learning potential, and thereby contribute to the …

Background. Word learning ability has been associated with treatment outcomes in people
with aphasia (PWA)(Dignam et al., 2O16). Our previous work has provided evidence for …

Novel word learning ability has been associated with language treatment outcomes in
people with aphasia (PWA), and its assessment could inform prognosis and rehabilitation …

The present case study investigated modality-specific aspects of novel word acquisition in
aphasia. It was prompted by recent aphasia case studies indicating great interindividual …

The ability to learn to use new words is thought to depend on the integrity of the left dorsal
temporo-frontal speech processing pathway. We tested this assumption in a chronic aphasic …

Recent research suggests that some people with aphasia preserve some ability to learn
novel words and to retain them in the long-term. However, this novel word learning ability …

Objective: Of current interest in aphasia research is the relevance of what we can learn from
studying word learning ability in aphasia. In a preliminary study, we addressed 2 issues …

Background: The study of novel word learning in aphasia can shed light on the functionality
of patients' learning mechanisms and potentially help in treatment planning. Previous …

The focus of much investigation in aphasiology has been on assessment of spared vs.
impaired performance, with relatively less investigation of spared vs. impaired (re) learning …

Purpose: The best predictor of successful language therapy in both the acute and chronic
stages after stroke is the treatment intensity, ie, number of hours trained per week …
