| الوصف: | Word-finding difficulties for naming everyday objects are often prevalent in aphasia. Traditionally, treating these difficulties has involved repeated drilling of troublesome items with a therapist. Spaced repetition schedules can improve the efficiency of such training. However, spaced repetition in a therapy environment can be both difficult to implement and time-consuming. The current study evaluated the potential utility of automated, asynchronous, online spaced repetition training for the treatment of word-finding difficulties in individuals with aphasia. Twenty-one participants completed a two-week training study, completing approximately 60 minutes per day of asynchronous online drilling. The training items were identified using a pretest, and word-finding difficulties were evaluated both at the end of training (i.e., a post-test) and four weeks later (i.e., a retention test). The trained items were separated into three different spaced-repetition schedules: (1) Short-spacing; (2) Long-spacing; and (3) Adaptive-spacing. At the retention-test, all trained items outperformed non-trained items in terms of accuracy and reaction time. Further, preliminary evidence suggested a potential reaction time advantage for the adaptive-spacing condition. Overall, online, asynchronous spaced repetition training appears to be effective in treating word-finding difficulties in aphasia. Further research will be required to determine if different spaced repetition schedules can be leveraged to enhance this effect. |
