Aphasia Types
non-fluent, effortful speech. comprehension mostly intact
T/F:
Aphasia can be developmental
False. It's acquired
T/F:
Broca's is associated w/ damage to the motor strip
False
T/F:
Wernicke's aphasia is associated w/ damage to Heschl's gyrus
False
Comprehension impaired, Repetition preserved
Transcortical Sensory Aphasia
T/F:
secondary aphasia is due to problems with the language-processing mechanisms
False. it's due to memory impairments, attention disorders, or perceptual problems
T/F:
Individuals with Broca's have trouble with passive syntactic constructions
True
T/F:
Individuals w/ wernicke's aphasia can have paraphasic speech
Fluency impaired, Repetition preserved
Transcortical Motor Aphasia
what are 3 test parameters for aphasia classification?
spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, verbal repetition
Saying "animal" instead of "cat" is an example of what kind of paraphasia?
semantic (verbal) paraphasia
According to more recent research, conduction aphasia is associated w/ damage to this region
Temporoparietal region (where auditory codes turn into motor codes)
Repetition, production, comprehension impaired
Global Aphasia
Which model proposes a serial fashion of language processing?
Wernicke-Geschwind model
Saying "poon" for "spoon" is an example of what kind of paraphasia?
Phonemic (literal) paraphasia
which type of aphasia is caused by damage to cortical fibers surrounding broca's area?
Transcortical Motor aphasia
Only repetition is impaired
Conduction Aphasia
Which of the following is NOT a fluent aphasia?
Wernicke’s
Conduction
Transcortical Motor
Anomic
Transcortical Motor
T/F:
"But it's silly, aren't they?" is an example of agrammatism
False. paragrammatism
Does the dorsal or ventral stream involve mapping auditory signals to meaning? (comprehension)
