AB  - Purpose The feasibility of a collaborative referencing intervention (CRI) for 
      adults with chronic aphasia has been documented in two descriptive case studies 
      (Devanga, 2014; Hengst et al., 2010, 2008). The current Phase II mixed-methods 
      treatment study replicates the CRI with four additional participants (using 
      interpretive research) and investigates how it impacts a traditional measure, 
      participants' confrontational naming abilities, outside of game play (using 
      multiple-probe single-case experimental design). Method Four adults with chronic 
      aphasia participated in the study composed of (a) three preparatory sessions, (b) 
      five baseline sessions, (c) 15 CRI sessions with five treatment probes, and (d) 
      six maintenance sessions. A collaborative confrontation naming (CCN) probe (i.e., 
      dependent variable) was administered in each baseline, treatment probe, and 
      maintenance session. Each CRI session (i.e., independent variable) consisted of a 
      photo-matching game with participant and clinician partner taking alternative 
      turns identifying and matching personally relevant treatment cards. CCN probes 
      were scored using a multidimensional rating scale. Fidelity and social validity 
      were also assessed. Results Replication of the CRI showed successful and 
      consistent referential learning in all four participant pairs. The multiple-probe 
      analysis of CCN revealed a positive treatment effect on naming in three 
      participants indicating that the CRI was efficacious. High fidelity was 
      maintained throughout the study. Social validity interviews revealed positive 
      outcomes and significant impacts of treatment on the participants' lives. 
      Conclusion The CRI demonstrates strong clinical implications for adults with 
      chronic aphasia. Future research exploring the treatment effectiveness and the 
      implementation to a variety of clinical settings is warranted.
