Generative naming treatment protocol used with participant SV

Generative Naming Treatment
1. Baseline Probes	Generative naming of items within one-minute intervals for 12 different semantic categories. Baseline probes taken on three separate sessions before treatment began.
2. Treatment	Each category trained for two consecutive treatment sessions. 12 treatment sessions in all. Color photos of items in trained category presented to participant. Photos depicting items generated spontaneously during baseline probes as well as new items. Participant asked to name the pictured items, using strategies learned in the Lexical Retrieval Cascade as needed. Semantic Tasks Implemented. Identifying semantic features. Creating subcategories. Recounting personal experiences with items.
3. Homework	Daily homework Creating semantic feature “maps” of items in the target category Sorting pictures into subcategories Creating written lists of items within subcategories and adding new items.
4. Maintenance	Generative naming probes on all 12 categories taken at the beginning of each treatment session. Probes taken on three occasions after the final treatment session and again at 3-month follow up.
