| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北護理健康大學 === 語言治療與聽力研究所 === 105 === This study aims to investigate the effect of a modified semantic feature analysis for aphasic patients. Semantic feature analysis (SFA) has been an effective therapeutic approach for naming problems. Typical features include grouping, function, property, action, association and location features were used in SFA to improve one’s confrontation naming skills. Recently some researchers suggested that less feature as compared to the traditional 6 features were also effectives for improving the anomic problem. In this regard, our study modified the SFA therapeutic approach into 4 features, including grouping, function, property, and association features to investigate the effectiveness using less features for confrontation naming.
A forty six year old female Mandarin Chinese Aphasic patient with anomia was recruited to our study. A 50 minute session was implemented. Patient received therapy twice a week for 6 weeks. A single-subject A-B-M design was used across three different phases including the baseline phase (A), intervention phase (B), and maintaining phase (M). Data were collected and analyzed via visual analysis and C statistics. Results show that improvement for intervention phase and maintaining phase were demonstrated for both the treated items and untreated items. Modified SFA using grouping, function, property and association features can provide ample support for our patient with anomic problems.
