摘要：Rehabilitation practices can benefit from treatment theories, which aim to theoretically groundinterventions by illuminating their mechanisms of action. The goal of this study was to establish anempirical foundation for a naming treatment theory based on the retrieval practice principle (RPP),derived from basic psychological research. Retrieval practice, i.e., retrieval of target informationfrom long-term memory, has powerful effects on verbal learning and retention; and, these effects canbe maximized through judicious use of schedules of learning. This study take a first step towardssuch a theory, by definitively establishing a role for retrieval practice in ameliorating namingimpairments in aphasia. Using a facilitation framework, (i.e., one training event per item and a shortretention interval) the impact of training that permitted retrieval practice {cued and noncued naming)was compared to an “ errorless” condition {repetition training), where presentation of the name forrepetition preempted its retrieval from long-term memory. The effects of the training conditions wereevaluated on subsequent naming tests.
