Abstract: Introduction: Cueing is a universal technique which is used for evaluation and therapy to improve naming deficits. The necessity of phonemic cues denotes lexical access difficulties. The need for semantic cues is found in visual deficit or inability to recognise the object or picture. This study compare the effectiveness of phonemic and semantic cues on confrontation naming in individuals with aphasia and also investigate the effect of phonemic and semantic cues on confrontation naming among the aphasic subgroups (Non-fluent and Fluent aphasic). Method: In this study, 15 individuals with aphasia were included. The individuals with aphasia were sub-grouped into Fluent and non-fluent aphasic Sub-group. Confrontation naming task was administered. For confrontation naming task, pictures from Boston Naming Test were taken. Among those pictures, 30 pictures were paired with phonemic cue and other 30 pictures were paired with semantic cue. The examiner presented the picture and asked them to name it. If the participants failed to name it within 20 seconds, then the assigned phonemic or semantic cue for that picture was presented. Then the number of correct responses with phonemic cue and semantic cue were calculated. Results: There was a significant difference in the responsiveness between phonemic cue and semantic cue. In both the aphasic groups number of correct responses with phonemic cue was higher than the number of correct responses with semantic cue.Conclusion: The present study highlights that in individuals with aphasia phonemic cues are more effective when compared to semantic cues on confrontation naming.
