Aphasia it is!
100
This type of aphasia is characterized by non-fluent, effortful, halting and choppy speech, Limited word production to single words or groups of two to three words, Agrammatic speech, telegraphic, Problems with repetition of words and sentences, comprehension of language is better than production.
What is Broca's Aphasia
100
According to the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA), (n.d.), this disorder is an acquired neurogenic language disorder resulting from an injury to the brain, most typically the left hemisphere, that affects all language modalities”.
What is Aphasia
100
He was a French neurologist in the 1860s ascertained that loss of “articulate speech” is due to damage in the posterior inferior frontal lobe of the left hemisphere of the brain.
Who was Paul Broca
100
This occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts.
What is cerebral vascular accident (CVA)
100
This type of disconnection syndrome may be created by surgery (commissuratomy) to prevent epileptic seizures from crossing over from one hemisphere to the other via the corpus callosum.
What is a Complete Disconnection Syndrome
200
This type of aphasia is non-fluent and the most severe type of aphasia. Its characteristics include, but are not limited to profoundly impaired communication skills, limited verbal expression, decreased auditory comprehension, , difficulty with repetition and naming, perseveration of utterances,
What is Global Aphasia
200
In this type of aphasia, usually most language functions are fairly good with the exception of naming. Characteristics include, but are not limited to severe word finding problems, Impaired word retrieval in speech and writing, able to point to named objects.
What is Anomic Aphasia
200
He was a German neuropsychiatrist in 1874 described his term “sensory aphasia” due to lesions in the posterior temporal lobe. Elaborated on language functions and brain areas.
Who was Karl Wernicke
200
This type of attack or "mini stroke" is characterized by resolution of symptoms in a few minutes to 24 hours and the endurance of symptoms for a short amount of time.
What is a transient ischemic attack (TIA)
200
This type of fluent aphasia is due to lesions in the temporo-parietal region. Characteristics include, but are not limited to Increased difficulty with naming, prosody, articulation, grammar and phrase length appear normal, paraphasic and empty speech, , good repetition skills, echolalia, problems answering yes/no questions and problems following commands
What is Transcortical Sensory Aphasia (TSA)
300
This type of aphasia is caused by lesions in the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus in the left hemisphere and is characterized by fluent, effortlessly and continual speech, dissociations between the sight and/or sound of words and their respective meaning, May show logorrhea, severe word finding problems, neologisms and circumlocutions and decreased auditory comprehension
What is Wernicke's Aphasia
300
This disorder of motor speech planning may be associated with aphasia and is also known as verbal apraxia.
What is Apraxia of speech
300
This model is based on work of neuroanatomists who studied symptoms of their patients and subsequently the brains of said patients (after patients died) who incurred strokes or brain injury and Paired pattern of impairment to damaged part of the brain
What is the Localizationist Model
300
This type of stroke is also referred to as an occlusive stroke, may have a physiologic effect of diaschisis and may be caused by a thrombosis or embolism.
What is an ischemic stroke
300
This non-fluent, rare type of aphasia is caused by lesions in the watershed area or the arterial border zone. Characteristics include, but are not limited to reduced spontaneous speech, automatic or involuntary communication, severe echolalia, able to repeat, problems with naming and neologisms
What is Mixed Transcortical Aphasia
400
This type of aphasia is caused by lesions in the area between Wernicke’s and Broca’s (supramarginal gyrus and arcuate fasciculous. Its characteristics include, but are not limited to Increased difficulty with repetition of multi-syllabic, long words, phrases and sentences, paraphasic speech, problems with word finding skills, empty speech, adequate auditory comprehension.
What is Conduction Aphasia
400
This related disorder is a collection of perceptual impairments that may be visual, auditory or tactile.
What is agnosia
400
Damage to this region in the left hemisphere causes language impairments in 85% of the individuals.
What is the Perisylvian region
400
This type of stroke may be caused by a rupture (burst) and weakness of a blood vessel wall or a traumatic injury to a blood vessel.
What is a hemorrhagic stroke
400
This type of aphasia is due to lesions in the basal ganglia and encompassing structures in the left hemisphere or due to lesions or hemorrhages in the left thalamus.
What is Subcortical Aphasia
500
This type of non-fluent aphasia is due to lesions in the anterior superior frontal lobe that may be superior or inferior to Broca’s area. Broca’s area is unaffected. Characteristics include, but are not limited Individuals appear without speech initially, echolalic and perseverative speech, limited or absence of spontaneous speech productions, Speech may be telegraphic, contain paraphasias and agrammatic, and Repetition skills are intact.
What is Transcorticdal Motor Aphasia (TMA)
500
This disorder is “disruption of volitional movement sequences in the absence of sensory loss, weakness, paralysis, or incoordination of the muscles involved in the movements” (Brookshire, 2015 p.450).
What is apraxia
500
This model is expansion of Wernicke’s and Broca’s work by Ludwig Lichtheim, aka Classical Model of Aphasia. The model basis is neuroanatomical and functional, shapes the basis for the classification of aphasia that are utilize.d
What is the Connectionist Model
500
This is a pouch formed or bulge found in a weak arterial wall that provides blood to the brain.
What is an aneurysm
500
This rare type of aphasia arises when an individual’s language centers are not in the presumed hemisphere.
