The study also evaluated the performance of ten healthy individuals aged 40 to 60 on these adapted tasks and explored the impact of factors such as word frequency, age, education level, gender and cognitive ability on task performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Procedure<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The software was adapted according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Se\u00e7er's (2018) adaptation guidelines and tasks were administered to ten healthy participants. Participant eligibility was determined independently using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment\u2010Turkish Version (MoCA\u2010TR) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). In addition to serving as an inclusion criterion, MoCA\u2010TR scores were also included as a variable in the analysis. Additionally, feedback was collected from 17 speech\u2010language therapists regarding the software's usability. All statistical analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcomes and Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The Turkish adaptation includes 200 yes\/no questions and data for 551 target words with voice recordings, alternative words, two images and various cues (semantic, phonemic, and sentence).

In contrast, gender had no significant effect on task performance. Overall, participants achieved a mean accuracy of 92.7% on easy, 88.3% on moderate and 85.9% on difficult tasks, completing the task in an average of 56.6 minutes. Feedback from 17 SLTs was predominantly positive, with 82.4% reporting ease of access and 94.1% indicating willingness to use or recommend the software in clinical settings.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This pilot study of the Turkish adaptation of this online aphasia therapy software holds promise for enhancing aphasia therapy and addresses the need for more Turkish\u2010language resources in online language therapy.

The effectiveness of these tools depends on linguistic and cultural appropriateness which influences their usability and accuracy in therapy. Word frequency, education level and cognitive abilities impact naming accuracy in both healthy individuals and those with aphasia. Existing studies suggest that high\u2010frequency words are recalled more easily while factors such as socioeconomic background and cognitive reserve influence language performance.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What this paper adds to the existing knowledge<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>This study adapted and culturally customised Aphasia Therapy Online for Turkish speakers, ensuring its suitability for the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the population. A pilot study with ten healthy individuals demonstrated that accuracy rates varied based on word frequency, confirming that high\u2010frequency words were named more easily than medium\u2010 and low\u2010frequency words. Alternative culturally appropriate words were integrated into the software, improving its applicability for Turkish users. A survey of speech and language therapists highlighted the software's usability and potential for home practice, supporting its integration into clinical workflows. It is also the first paper related to the software.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What are the potential or actual clinical implications for this work?<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>The findings emphasise the importance of culturally adapting digital therapy tools to improve their effectiveness in diverse populations. Turkish speech and language therapists can use Aphasia Therapy Online as a complementary tool to extend therapy dosage and enhance engagement. The integration of alternative culturally relevant words and real photographs ensures that the software is more accessible and effective for Turkish speakers with aphasia. Given the significant impact of education level on task performance, customising therapy tasks based on cognitive reserve and linguistic background is recommended for optimal outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
