Abstract: Aim: Given the ever-increasing evidence for the co-occurrence of attention impairments and language disorders in chronic aphasia, this study aimed to compare the effects of two naming treatment programs, one with and one without attention training components, on the naming performance of participants with aphasia. Materials and methods: This was a single-subject crossover study in which six people with chronic aphasia and different degrees of naming and attention impairments participated. Two treatment programs were implemented for each participant, with the sequence of the treatments with crossover design. Each program consisted of 12 treatment sessions plus pre- and post-treatment assessment sessions (15 weeks for each participant). The visual analysis and WEighted STatistics methods were employed for data analysis. Results: Based on visual analysis, both treatments improved in comparison to the baseline phase. Statistical analysis revealed that the number of participants with significant naming improvement following combined program (5 participants) was larger than the number of participants showing improvement following completion of the single, program. Conclusion: Although integrating attention training into a conventional treatment for anomia can increase the effect of treatment on naming ability, more studies are required to clarify the role of attention in remediating naming impairments in aphasia.
