A task consisting in identifying pictures and naming them. A task used for the rehabilitation of the output phonological lexicon in which subjects are asked to identify pictures and then to name them.
This was done by single case analyses using 2 tests. Table 21.4 gives the scores for the individual patients on each test type and the effect of the phonological treatment spread over the three tasks. Improving the phoneme to grapheme writing routines could result in a better performance in written naming task if patients used a self-dictation strategy. This pattern was clearly shown by two out of the three patients whose writing performance improved only as a result of phonological treatment (patients 2 and 5). The third patient who had shown selective response to the phonological treatment overall (patient 4) exhibited an abnormal pattern in that his written naming alone showed a significant improvement.
