Background and Aims: The reliability and validity of an intervention can be improved by checking treatment fidelity (TF). TF methods identify core components of an intervention, check their presence (or absence) and identify threats to fidelity. The Virtual Elaborated Semantic Feature Analysis (VESFA) intervention comprised individual sessions of…
