How can you describe Broca's Aphasia?
•Non-fluent, effortful speech
•Slow rate with uneven flow
•Limited word output
•Misarticulation
•Telegraphic speech
•Impaired naming
•Impaired repetition
•Writing = production problems
•Aprosody
How can you describe Wernicke's Aphasia?
•Fluent
•Rapid rate
•Prosody is good
•Articulation is intact
•Speech is paraphasic- semantic and literal
•Poor auditory comprehension
•Impaired repetition of words and sentences
•Writing problems
What is some evidence against the Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind Model?
1. Aphasia can occur from damage to subcortical
structures (thalamus & caudate nucleus)
2. Recovery of function after stroke (other
cortical areas compensate).
3. Most aphasias involve both comprehension and
speech deficits
Global Aphasia
Anomic Aphasia
Transcortical Sensory Aphasia
Wernicke's Aphasia
Conduction Aphasia
Broca's Aphasia
Transcortical Motor Aphasia
According to the Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind Model what is the pathway of information?
1. Auditory Cortex --> Angular Gyrus
2. Angular Gyrus --> Wernicke's (phonological lexicon)
3. Wernicke's --(Arcuate Fascilicus)--> Broca's
4. Broca's (grammar + motor for speech)
Which aphasiac patients were discovered to be unable to comprehend syntactically unconstrained sentences?
Broca's Aphasiacs
The passive voice will cause difficulty in comprehension for ____________.
Broca's Aphasiacs
Major symptoms of this Aphasia include difficulties in word retrieval, spontaneous speech and naming.
Anomic Aphasia
Which Aphasia would produce the following? : "geez, you know . . . isn't that funny, oh I know, . . . it's one of those things."
Anomic Aphasia
Which Aphasia is caused by damage to fibers connecting Wernicke's and Broca's area?
Conduction
What's some symptoms of Conduction Aphasia?
• Oral reading is poor
• Poor Repetition
• Transpositions of sounds within a word ("television" --> "velitision") are common.
What's some symptoms of Transcortical Motor Aphasia?
• 1-2 word utterances
• Trouble initiating utterances
Transcortical Motor Aphasia is caused by damage to fibers surrounding ______, while Transcortical Sensory Aphasia is caused by damage to ______.
Transcortical Motor Aphasia is caused by damage to fibers surrounding Broca's Area, while Transcortical Sensory Aphasia is caused by damage to fibers surrounding Wernicke's Area.
Transcortical Sensory Aphasiacs are similar to Wernicke's in that they produce...
Long, empty speech.
Transcortical Sensory Aphasiacs symptoms include:
1. difficulties with comprehension
2. echolalia
3. long, empty speech
Subcortical Aphasia includes damage to these regions:
1. Thalamus
2. Basal Ganglia and/or Internal Capsule
Naming is poor for which Aphasias?
All
Repetition is poor for all Aphasiacs except which?
Transcortical Sensory and Transcortical Memory have good repetition skills, with echolalia.
Comprehension is good for which Aphasics?
Broca's, Conduction, Transcortical Motor
Paraphasia is common or variable to which Aphasics?
Global Aphasia (variable), Transcortical Sensory, Wernicke's (semantic and literal), Conduction (literal)
Which Aphasics are fluent?
Wernicke's, Transcortical Sensory, Conduction
