<div>The majority of studies investigating the naming treatments in individuals with aphasia reported comparable results; however, one study found an advantage for errorful learning, while another study reported an advantage for errorless learning. Retrieval practice (RP) intervention outcomes demonstrated more effect at retention and follow-up intervals compared with errorless learning, except in cases of impaired naming at the semantic level when the two interventions demonstrated similar benefits. Compared with errorful learning, RP intervention demonstrated statistically significant improved outcomes in naming.</div>
