Applying adaptive distributed practice to self-managed computer-based anomia treatment: A single-case experimental design

CONCLUSIONS: These case studies suggest that adaptive distributed practice is an effective method for re-training more words than typically targeted in anomia treatment research (∼47 words on average per Snell et al., 2010). Generalization across experimental conditions provided evidence for improved lexical access beyond what could be attributed to simple stimulus-response mapping. These effects were obtained using free, open-source flashcard software in a clinically feasible, asynchronous format, thereby minimizing clinical implementation barriers. Larger-scale clinical trials are required to replicate and extend these effects.PMID:35882077 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2022.106249
