Abstract:
Individuals with aphasia (IWA) experience sentence production deficits (SPD), which can affect their daily interactions. Even if distinct treatments have been developed to improve these deficits, their efficacy is not always thoroughly measured, which makes it difficult to determine the optimal treatment for a given IWA. The primary objective of this study is to analyse the efficacy of the treatments that have been proposed for SPD in terms of gains on trained items, generalization to untreated items, maintenance of the acquired gains, and transfer to other contexts. Concerning efficacy, gains on trained items and generalization to untreated items were demonstrated for almost every treatment, whereas the other efficacy measures were not always reported or improved. No matter whether they focus on verbs, sentence structures, or morphology, most of the analysed treatments seem to be effective for improving SPD in IWA.
