This article reviews the basic principles and evidence for the effectiveness of a semantic-based treatment for naming deficits in aphasia. This article focuses on three aspects of semantic-based treatment. First, the theoretical basis for semantic treatment approaches to alleviate naming deficits is explained. Second, the different types of semantic treatment approaches (i.e., substitutive and restitutive treatments) are reviewed. More attention is provided to restitutive treatment approaches, and some ideas regarding why these treatments may be effective are discussed. We argue that strengthening access to impaired semantic and phonologic representations and facilitating generalization to untrained but related targets are two factors determining the success of a restitutive-based semantic treatment. Finally, in the third section of the article, the effect of semantic treatment on the overall communicative effectiveness and suggestions for future research in this field are discussed.
本文回顾了基于语义的失语症命名障碍治疗方法有效性的基本原则和证据。本文聚焦于基于语义治疗的三个方面。首先,解释了缓解命名障碍的语义治疗方法的理论基础。其次,回顾了不同类型的语义治疗方法(即替代治疗和恢复性治疗)。对恢复性治疗方法给予了更多关注,并讨论了关于这些治疗方法可能有效的一些观点。我们认为,加强对受损语义和语音表征的通达以及促进向未训练但相关目标的泛化是决定基于恢复性的语义治疗成功的两个因素。最后,在本文的第三部分,讨论了语义治疗对整体沟通有效性的影响以及该领域未来研究的建议。
