Monolingual and bilingual abstract semantic associative n etwork training (AbSANT/BAbSANT): theoretically-based anomia therapy tha t promotes within- and cross-language generalization

Generalization to untrained items is one measure of therapeutic succ ess in aphasia treatment research. Protocols that capitalize on theorize d relationships within the semantic system are more likely to promote ge neralization. Previous work based on the complexity account of treatment efficacy (CATE; Thompson et al., 2003) and leveraging the unique relati onship between abstract and concrete words has shown that when abstract words are trained, concrete words also improve, but not vice versa (e.g. , Kiran et al., 2009). Additionally, previous work based on the revised hierarchical model (RHM; Kroll & Stewart, 1994) has shown that train ing in the non-dominant language promotes cross-language generalization in bilingual persons with aphasia (e.g., Edmonds & Kiran, 2006). Thi s work replicates previous work showing the generalization benefit of tr aining abstract words in monolingual aphasia, successfully extends this abstract word training protocol to bilingual aphasia, and shows the addi tive benefit of training in the non-dominant language in bilingual aphas ia.
