The semantic tasks used were hearing the word and selecting the picture from an array of semantically related pictures (e.g. “dog” with pictured dog, cat, rabbit and mouse); the same task but with the word written down, and a semantic judgment task involving the target word (e.g. “does a dog bark?”). As in the cuing studies mentioned earlier, the task was only effective if it was lexically specific: pointing to a picture of an associated word did not facilitate naming. Howard et al. (1985b) went on to look at the effect of practising the two types of therapy (semantic and phonological) on patients’ naming. The patients, who had longstanding, stable aphasias with good word comprehension, were given two periods of either one or two weeks of daily therapy.
