ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Philadelphia Naming Test short-form accuracy scoreBaseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatmentNumber of correctly named items of 30 total items on the computerized picture naming assessment. Scores ranges from 0 to 30 with higher scores meaning better naming ability.
SecondaryLanguage production as assessed by lexical features of discourse in "Cookie Theft" picture descriptionBaseline, 5 weeks after computer-delivered naming treatment
Lexical features, meaning carrying units of language (morphemes), will be counted for each Cookie Theft picture description. There is no maximum number of meaning carrying units, but norms are available to assist in the interpretation of this performance.
SecondaryLanguage production as assessed by content units included in picture description of "Cookie Theft"Baseline, 5 weeks after computer-delivered naming treatment
Content units are based on a standard scoring template of commonly identified concepts (nouns and verbs) in the left and right regions of the "Cookie Theft" picture. Participants either include or fail to include 30 concepts on the left side of the picture and 23 concepts on the right side of the picture. A ratio of included left content units to included right content units then can be calculated and interpreted as a measure of hemispatial attention.
SecondaryLanguage production as assessed by rate of syllables per content unit produced in "Cookie Theft" picture descriptionBaseline, 5 weeks after computer-delivered naming treatment
Syllables included in the picture description are counted. Content units are based on a standard scoring template of commonly identified concepts (nouns and verbs) in the left and right regions of the "Cookie Theft" picture. Participants either include or fail to include 30 concepts on the left side of the picture and 23 concepts on the right side of the picture. The average rate of syllables per content unit produced can then be calculated and interpreted as a measure of efficiency in producing relevant information in the task.
SecondaryDepression as assessed by Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)Baseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatment
9 item scale scored 0-3 for each item. PHQ-9 scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 represent mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression. PHQ-9 \>15 or suicidal ideation suggest depression sufficient for exclusion or removal from study.
SecondaryLanguage production as assessed by Morphosyntactic Generation (MorGen) TestBaseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatment
60 item assessment of word morphology (e.g., plurals, possessives) and modifiers (e.g., number, size, color). Each item is scored based on produced accurate descriptors of an image relative to a second reference image (e.g., patients see two trees, one larger than the other, and the phrase "little tree" is elicited). Patients are scored for objects correctly named (nouns) out of 60, instances of correct use of plural marker out of 31, instances of correct use of numbers out of 8, instances of correct modifiers denoting size out of 16, instances of correct modifiers denoting color out of 19, instances of correct modifiers denoting possessive markers out of 17, and instances of correctly named possessing individuals (proper names provided on screen) out of 17. These scores can then be interpreted separately or averaged to interpret a broad morphosyntactic accuracy score.
SecondaryStroke severity as assessed by NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)Baseline, 5 weeks after computer-delivered naming treatment, 20 weeks after computer-delivered naming treatment
The NIHSS is a 15-item neurologic examination stroke scale used to evaluate the effect of acute cerebral infarction on the levels of consciousness, language, neglect, visual-field loss, extraocular movement, motor strength, ataxia, dysarthria, and sensory loss. A trained observer rates the patient's ability to answer questions and perform activities. Ratings for each item are scored with 3 to 5 grades with 0 as normal, and there is an allowance for untestable items.
SecondaryPost-stroke level of disability as assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS)Baseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatmentThe mRS is a 6-level scale from "0-No symptoms" to "6-dead" used to evaluate the degree of disability in patients who have suffered a stroke.
SecondaryStroke paresis severity as assessed by right hand strengthBaseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatmentRight hand strength assessment by dynamometer
SecondaryStroke paresis severity as assessed by right hand dexterityBaseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatmentRight hand dexterity assessment by 9 peg board test
SecondaryChange in new vocabulary items as assessed by lexical diversity included in story retelling of "Cinderella"Baseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatment
Change in new vocabulary items will be counted for each noun, verb, and adjective in the Cinderella retelling. There is no maximum measure of lexical diversity, but norms are available to assist in the interpretation of this performance.
SecondaryChange in incidence of new vocabulary items as assessed by lexical diversity included in story retelling of "Cinderella"Baseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatment
Change in incidence of each new item will be counted for each noun, verb, and adjective in the Cinderella retelling. There is no maximum measure of lexical diversity, but norms are available to assist in the interpretation of this performance.
SecondaryChange in language production as assessed by speech errors produced during the story retelling of "Cinderella"Baseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatmentChange in number of errors will be counted after each retelling is recorded
SecondaryChange in Language production as assessed by speech pauses produced during the story retelling of "Cinderella"Baseline, 1 week after computer-delivered naming treatmentChange in pauses will be counted after each retelling is recorded
