In the recreation of the experiment our aim was to investigate structural‚ phonic and semantic meaning. To do this we needed a camera to film the experiment‚ around 20 year 8 students and a classroom. In this investigation our independent variable was how 11-13 students would memorize different objects in different ways. Our hypothesis was

For example‚ (1) “The Morning Star is the Morning Star.” and (2) “The Morning Star

The rationale stated that the study was concerned with “whether Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) can be modified and still produce naming improvements in aphasia.” The study looked at whether SFA could be modified and only focus on three categories (rather than the commonly used six)‚ and continue to see success in the area of naming in individuals with aphasia. Semantic Feature Analysis has frequently been used to treat the naming deficits commonly
