Abstract
This experiment investigated crosslinguistic generalization in two participants with Spanish/English bilingual aphasia who received semantic naming treatment. Participant 1 (English dominant) improved to 80% accuracy for trained items (apple) and simultaneously improved on semantically related items (orange) during English treatment. No improvements were seen in Spanish. With Spanish treatment, Participant 1 improved to 100% on trained items but showed no within-language generalization in Spanish, while improvements in English were observed. Participant 2 (balanced bilingual) improved to 80% on Spanish trained items (apio) and showed generalization to semantically related untrained items (repollo) and the English translations (celery/cabbage). These findings demonstrate effects of pre-morbid proficiency levels on crosslinguistic generalization.
