Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅A group of disorders that result in language
impairment for adults (ACQUIRED)
Main cause of Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅stroke
lesser cause of Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅TBI, Brain diseases, encephalitis
What kind of disorder is Aphasia categorized as? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅It is a multi-
modality disorder in that, it often affects any modalities of communication such as reading,
writing, listening, and gesturing. There is a possibility for vision, cognitive, physical, and
sensory impairments as well.
Two types of categories for Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Fluent and Non-fluent
Aphasia
fluent Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-consists of impairment mainly to language
comprehension and speech output follows melodic contour
-speech is fluid
- main characteristics of word retrieval difficulties, semantic paraphasia, neologism, and
perseveration.
Non-fluent Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-better or more intact comprehension but
poor output
-agrammertism, phonemic, and literal paraphasia, echololia
Types of Fluent Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅1. Wernicke's Aphasia
2. Conduction Aphasia
3. Anomia Aphasia
,4. Transcortical Sensory Aphasia
Wernick'es Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-site of lesions in Wernicke's area
-Located in the posterior portion of the first temporal gyrus in the left hemisphere
- Fluent but meaningless speech and Impaired comprehension
Conduction Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅better language comprehension
Than Wernicke's, have fluent speech
They have terrible imitation skills
Anomia Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅only impairment is word retrieval
Transcortical Sensory Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅- looks like Conduction,
Have excellent imitation skills, better language
Comprehension
Types of Non-Fluent Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅1. Broca's Aphasia
2. Transcortical Motor Aphasia
3. Global Aphasia
Broca's Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅posterior inferior frontal lobe
good comprehension, effortful articulation
agrammatism, impaired prosody
Transcortical Motor Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅looks like Broca's
imitation skills are excellent, lesions are in
the medial frontal cortex
Global Aphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅everything is impaired
site of lesions is typically in multiple places
, Symptoms of Language - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅1. Agrammatism
2. Paraphasia
3. Anomia
4. Neologism
5. Perseveration
Agrammatism - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅a deficit of syntax, reliance on content words
with an omission of function words
EX: man sleep, man bed
Paraphasia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅errors in output characterized by the production of
unintended sounds, syllables, or words
a. Phonemic- literal, sounds and syllables
EX: Plen, bananana
b. Semantic- words, replace the intended word with something in the same semantic category
Anomia - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅difficulty with word retrieval, also referred to as
involuntary circumlocution
Neologism - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅making up words to refer to something
EX: they use the word blik for pen
Perseveration - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅the continuation of a response once it's no longer
valid
EX: echolalia
