Abstract
.Several approaches to the rehabilitation of agrammatism use implicit and explicit learning methods.Objective:To verify the effect of adapted Mapping Therapy and ORLA methods (explicit versus implicit learning) on the oral and written production in spontaneous language among agrammatic patients with Broca’s aphasia.Methods:Six individuals were submitted to Mapping Therapy and ORLA (Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia) treatments. Samples of oral and written production from a picture description task were compared pre and post-treatment.Results:In Mapping Therapy, the patients presented better performance after the training for the variables related to written production: number of words, nouns, verbs, closed-class words, and number of complete sentences. Regarding oral output, the patients had similar performance before and after the therapeutic process. In ORLA, the patients presented a significant difference before and after the therapeutic process in the variables related to oral production, increasing the number of words, number of verbs, and speech rate. There was no difference in pre and post-treatment performance in written production.Conclusion:Both implicit and explicit learning can be used in the treatment of agrammatism. Mapping Therapy was more effective for the treatment of agrammatism in written production, while ORLA was more effective for the agrammatism in oral production.
Highlights
Several approaches to the rehabilitation of agrammatism use implicit and explicit learning methods
Considering the scarcity of studies about agrammatism therapy in Brazil,[12] the present study aims to verify the effect of Mapping Therapy and Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (ORLA) methods on oral and written production in spontaneous language among agrammatic patients with Broca’s aphasia, from the perspective of explicit versus implicit learning
Considering the interaction of explicit and implicit learning in agrammatism, the aim of this study was to verify the effect of Mapping Therapy and ORLA methods on the oral and written production in spontaneous language of six agrammatic patients with Broca’s aphasia
Summary
Several approaches to the rehabilitation of agrammatism use implicit and explicit learning methods. Objective: To verify the effect of adapted Mapping Therapy and ORLA methods (explicit versus implicit learning) on the oral and written production in spontaneous language among agrammatic patients with Broca’s aphasia. Objetivo: Verificar o efeito dos métodos adaptados Mapping Therapy e ORLA (aprendizagem explícita versus implícita) na produção oral e escrita de discurso em pacientes agramáticos com afasia de Broca. Resultados: No método Mapping Therapy, os pacientes apresentaram melhor desempenho após o tratamento nas seguintes variáveis relacionadas à produção escrita: número de palavras, substantivos, verbos, palavras de classe fechada e número de frases completas. No método ORLA, os pacientes apresentaram diferença significativa antes e após o processo terapêutico nas variáveis relacionadas à produção oral, com aumento no número de palavras, número de verbos e velocidade de fala.
