Therapy for anomia in semantic dementia
Abstract:
Semantic dementia is a commonly accepted term for a language disorder resulting from neurodegenerative changes due to frontotemporal dementia. An intervention program was designed to halt and/or decelerate the effects of progressive anomia in AK, a 63-year-old female with semantic dementia. Pictorial stimuli were selected and labeled with their respective names and a description most relevant to AK's experience. Daily homework assignments were carried out, during which AK looked at the picture, read the label aloud, and read the description. Positive short-term effects of treatment were observed on treated items.

Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
