Interventions
semantic therapy and semantic re-education
Patients will be followed over two periods "Phase A (randomized, 6 to 8 weeks) - Phase B (5 weeks)". Phase A : Baseline Phase A, which constitutes the control period of semantic therapy, will be composed of lexico-phonological training exercises (Piroux-Davous, 2018). This phase will last 6 to 8 weeks (i.e. 18 to 24 sessions) depending on the randomisation, at the rate of 3 speech therapy sessions of 45 minutes per week. Phase B : Semantic re-education The sessions will consist of training based on the analysis of semantic traits (Coustaut, 2019). This phase will last 5 weeks (i.e. 15 sessions), at the rate of 3 speech therapy sessions of 45 minutes per week. In accordance with the application of the SCED methodology, repeated measurements will be carried out every second session during phases A and B. They will consist of proposing the oral naming task (lasting 10 minutes).
