Abstract
Background Previous studies have demonstrated that naming treatments can improve language abilities in people with aphasia (PWA). However, there is currently a lack of protocols for evidence-based naming treatment in Hebrew.Aims This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel morphology-based naming treatment for Hebrew-speaking PWA and to investigate subject-related factors influence responsiveness to the treatment.Method & Procedures Twelve chronic stroke PWA and moderate to severe anomia participated in 20 treatment sessions focused on the root-structure morphology of Hebrew. Treatment stimuli incorporated morphologically complex words comprising root and template. Treatment effects were assessed at both subject level and group level.Outcomes & Results The treatment showed promising results, with a significant increase in correct naming for both treated and untreated complex words. These gains were maintained for at least 10 weeks post-treatment. Most of the benefit was achieved during the first 10 treatment sessions. Additionally, the group demonstrated generalization effects to naming simple words. Pre-treatment performance in naming morphologically complex words predicted higher treatment gains during the follow-up session, irrespective of word type.Conclusions These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the efficacy of root-based naming treatment for Hebrew-speaking PWA. Future research should compare this treatment to an untreated control group and to other treatment methods in Hebrew speakers to further validate its benefits.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
