A Systematic Review of Semantic Feature Analysis Therapy Studies for Aphasia

April 19, 2022 Post a Comment

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to review treatment studies of semantic feature analysis (SFA) for persons with aphasia. The review documents how SFA is used, appraises the quality of the included studies, and evaluates the efficacy of SFA.

Method

The following electronic databases were systematically searched (last search February 2017): Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Plus, Due east-journals, Wellness Policy Reference Centre, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and SocINDEX. The quality of the included studies was rated. Clinical efficacy was determined by calculating effect sizes (Cohen's d) or percent of nonoverlapping information when d could not be calculated.

Results

Twenty-one studies were reviewed reporting on 55 persons with aphasia. SFA was used in 6 different types of studies: confrontation naming of nouns, confrontation naming of verbs, connected speech/soapbox, group, multilingual, and studies where SFA was compared with other approaches. The quality of included studies was loftier (Single Case Experimental Blueprint Calibration average [range] = 9.55 [8.0–11]). Naming of trained items improved for 45 participants (81.82%). Effect sizes indicated that there was a small treatment effect.

Conclusions

SFA leads to positive outcomes despite the variability of treatment procedures, dosage, elapsing, and variations to the traditional SFA protocol. Farther research is warranted to examine the efficacy of SFA and generalization effects in larger controlled studies.
