This study is looking at a behavioral treatment called "criterion-learning practice" for people with aphasia (a language disorder often caused by stroke). The goal is to improve word retrieval, which is difficulty finding the right words. You would practice naming pictures on a computer, receiving feedback on your answers. Researchers want to see if making this practice more challenging by including similar words (like "horse" and "cow" when learning "dog") helps more than using unrelated words. This study will enroll 12 adults with aphasia who are at least 6 months past their stroke. Success will be measured by how well you can name the practiced items about one week after the treatment.
