The present study describes how four severely language-impaired pupils participated in an intervention programme aimed towards improving their word-finding skills. Short intervention sessions that concentrated upon a combination of both elaboration and retrieval techniques were conducted over a period of 4 weeks. Four control subjects received language therapy that was unrelated to word-finding activities. The subjects were matched for age, sex and word-finding difficulties. Results revealed that the two groups differed significantly on the accuracy of word retrieval. The four subjects that had received specific intervention improved in their ability to retrieve words. Two-tailed t-tests indicated that the improvement was highly significant at the probability level of p < 0.01 between the stages of testing. The contribution of the intervention sessions towards facilitating word-finding strategies of the four children is discussed.
本研究描述了四名严重语言障碍学生如何参与一项旨在提高其找词能力的干预计划。在为期4周的时间里，开展了集中于详述和检索技巧相结合的简短干预课程。四名对照受试者接受了与找词活动无关的语言治疗。受试者在年龄、性别和找词困难程度上进行了匹配。结果显示，两组在单词检索的准确性上存在显著差异。接受特定干预的四名受试者在检索单词的能力上有所提高。双尾t检验表明，在测试阶段之间，在p < 0.01的概率水平上，这种提高非常显著。文中讨论了干预课程对促进这四名儿童找词策略的作用。
