Abstract
Introduction Broca's aphasia is an adult language disorder that is often acquired following a cerebral vascular accident (stroke) affecting the inferior gyrus of the left frontal lobe known as Broca's [...]
Backward chaining was used to teach a 55-year-old woman with aphasia to read compound Icelandic words. Each compound word was divisible into three component words. The last of the three components was targeted first. The second and third components were taught next, and all three components were targeted last. Modelling and differential reinforcement were used during each trial of the training phase. The participant made considerable progress. In addition, Training effects generalized to (1) labelling pictured objects whose names corresponded to the trained words, and (2) labelling pictured objects whose names were not targeted during the intervention phase. Keywords: Aphasia, backward chaining, reading difficulties, generalization.
