Wernicke called his condition, " _____ aphasia".
sensory
True or False: Difficulty writing is a receptive deficit.
False

What is the name of the band of fibers that connects Wernicke's area and Broca's area?
BONUS: What will happen if this band of fibers is damaged?
arcuate fasciculus
BOUNS: repetition problems
Name this type of attention:ability to shift attention by inhibiting attention to one and selectively SHIFTING attention to another as task requirement change
Alternating attention
Where did Pierre Paul Broca find the dead brain tissue in the autopsy?
BONUS: Due to this discovery, what two theories did Broca develop? (+200)
frontal lobe of left hemisphere
BONUS: cerebral localization and the speech center was in the left frontal lobe
What is circumlocution?
Talking around the desired term, using different describing words and phrases but not actually saying the target term.
True or False: all individuals with aphasia have anomia.
True
Which aphasia has the largest area of damage?
Global
Name the lowest level of attention
alterness and arousal
grammatical (rules of language)
Provide one example of a phonemic and one example of a semantic paraphasia.
Phonemic Paraphasia: "shookie" for "cookie"
Semantic Paraphasia: "cake" for "cookie"
To test fluency, you want to gather a _____ sample.
language
Name 3 features of Wernicke's Aphasia.
Neologisms, jargon, word salad
Non-words or words in wrong place
Inconsistency and perseveration
Think other people are not understanding
Get annoyed with you, talk right over you
What are the three types of fact/declarative memories?
episodic, semantic and lexical
Today aphasia is seen as a "matter of _____".
efficiency, reduced access
A string of neologisms is called _______.
jargon
Name this aphasia: fluent, poor comprehension, poor repetition
Wernicke's aphasia
Name this aphasia: Telegraphic speech, halting, Aware of errors because better audition comprehension, Comprehension deficits could be so mild that not noticeable
Broca's Aphasia
Name 3 differences between speech and language.
Speech: The ability to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings by ARTICULATION of sound; Think MOTOR; neuromuscular process
Language: Means by which we typically communicate – (verbal = words); Includes speaking, listening, reading, writing; Rule governed, abstract; dynamic; symbol system; Arbitrary, yet conventional; Content, form, use; Semantics, lexicon; Phonology, morphology, syntax, Pragmatics
What is the new perspective today when treating aphasia?
Wellness perspective;
What is the difference between agrammatism and paragrammatism?
BONUS: What aphasias are each associated with?
agrammatism: lack of grammar and grammatical markers; nonfluent aphasias
paragrammatism: too much grammar; fluent aphasias
Describe the fluency, comprehension, and repetition of someone with Broca's aphasia.
nonfluent, more comprehension, and poor repetition
A person with Wernicke’s aphasia has GOOD fluency, POOR comprehension and POOR repetition skills-how does this correlate with the lesion in their brain?
Fluent because anterior region is intact; poor comprehension because of damage in posterior region; poor repetition because Wernicke’s area is in the language loop.
