💡 Takeaway: Semantic feature-based treatment promotes gains across languages and linguistic domains in Spanish-English bilinguals with aphasia
💭 Next: How do dose, intensity, and individual differences shape transfer?

Results showed:
1) Improvement for trained and untrained naming targets (direct transfer)
2) Gains in select semantic processing tasks (near transfer)
3) Improved overall language function (WAB-AQ) but not domain-general cog (both far transfer)
🎉 Benefits across both languages

Measurement of cross-language and cross-domain generalization following semantic feature-based anomia treatment in bilingual aphasia
Semantic feature-based treatment (SFT), which engages the semantic network by repeatedly targeting retrieval of conceptual features to improve lexical-semantic access, has shown promise for facilit...
