This study describes a reformation process of verbal behavior of an aphasic (female, 37 years old) . The results are as follows:
1. The patients, who could not have learned the naming behavior by auditory reinforcement alone, could more easily reform a few naming behaviors with some intervention processes of identification by“motor-activities”.
2. The patient's reformation ability in a few naming behaviors can be attributed to the training (learning), on the ground that she had attacked by the desease two years before and that the time passage seems to be ample to deny the possibility of her natural recovery.
3. Some discussions were made concerning the methods of naming behavior training for aphasics.
