Structural Priming Treatment in Aphasia: The Role of Lexical and Abstract Syntactic Representations
These results support structural priming as an effective sentence production treatment for PWA, especially when verbs are not matched between primes and target. We suggest lexical differentiation supports priming in PWA by allowing more efficient access and learning of abstract syntactic representations, which appears crucial to successful sentence production.
