Two men with head injuries resulting in speech disorders were treated by asking them orientation questions and prompting answers using either least to most prompting or flashcards. For one participant, the orientation questions were about objects, places, and foods. The other man's questions were about objects, places, people, and time. The results demonstrated that both men were able to respond correctly to the orientation questions in fewer than 30 trials. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
