Abstract

The aims of this study are to begin to investigate structural priming in Italian speakers with aphasia including a sample of speakers with aphasia types and to relate priming to patient characteristics. Participants were eight PWA resulting from a left hemisphere CVA. Our results indicate that structural priming is effective in Italian speakers with aphasia. At the same time, individual patient characteristics resulted in greater or lesser susceptibility to priming. This adds to the growing body of research that finds that priming in speakers with aphasia facilitates access and use of primed sentence structures and opens up the possibility of using interventions based in structural priming paradigms in language rehabilitation, across aphasia types.
