Everyday object naming
Ten pictures. Take as long as you need.
About this activity
After a stroke or brain injury, it can be hard to find the word you want, even when you know exactly what you mean. This is called anomia, and it is one of the most common parts of aphasia.
Thinking about what something looks like, what it does and where you find it can help the word come. That is what this activity practises.
How it works
- Look at the picture and try to say its name.
- Stuck? Tap Help me to think about the object together.
- More help gives you the first letter, then the whole word to read.
- Answer five quick yes or no questions about it.
- Sum up: pick two things about it, then say and write its name.
You can move to any picture at any time using the numbers at the top. There is no timer.
About this preview
Ten everyday objects with a six-step cueing hierarchy built on Semantic Feature Analysis: present the picture, guided SFA (group, use, action, location, appearance), first letter and first sound, written model, five semantic judgments, then a sum-up recalling two features with the spoken and written name.
Using it in session
In Clinician mode the whole protocol for each item is on one screen, with SFA answers and the expected response to each judgment. Score the step at which your client named the item, mark each judgment, and add notes. A summary is ready to email from the Progress tab.
Using it for home practice
Switch to Client mode. Clients work through the steps one at a time, check their own answers and type the written name. Progress saves in their browser so they can email it to you.
