An examination of retrieval practice and production training in the treatment of lexical–semantic comprehension deficits in aphasia.

Conclusions: Results suggest comprehension- and production-based forms of training are both beneficial for improving lexical–semantic deficits in aphasia, with production-based retrieval practice conferring additional benefits to the targeted deficit compared to errorless learning. Future studies should examine these learning factors in schedules of training more commensurate with clinical practice and in other neurological populations (e.g., semantic dementia).
