The Impact of Exposure With No Training: Implications for Future Partner Training Research.

Conclusions: If the results of this small study are in any way representative of what happens in real life, communication partner training in aphasia becomes even more important than indicated from the positive results of training studies. That is, it is possible that mere exposure to a communication disability such as aphasia could have negative impacts on communication and social interaction. This may be akin to what is known as a "nocebo" effect-something for partner training studies in aphasia to take into account.
