ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the effect of working memory updating training on verbal fluency for patients with motor aphasia.Methods:
From June, 2015 to June, 2018, 80 patients with motor aphasia were randomly divided into control group (n = 40) and study group (n = 40). The control group accepted routine speech training, while the study group accepted working memory updating training in addition, for eight weeks. They were assessed updating function and verbal fluency before and after training.Results:
The updating function and verbal fluency improved in the study group after training (t > 2.418, P < 0.05), and were better than those in the control group (t > 2.407, P < 0.05).Conclusion:
Working memory updating training can improve both speech and cognition for patients with motor aphasia.
