Fluent Aphasias
This type of aphasia is characterized by impaired naming, but preserved comprehension, fluency and repetition.
What is anomic Aphasia?
This type of aphasia is characterized by impairments in naming, comprehension, fluency and repetition.
What is global aphasia?
The bulging out of an artery.
What is an aneurism?
While frequently debated, this brain area is located in the posterior section of the left inferior frontal gyrus.
Where is Broca's area?
Individuals with this type of aphasia will perform well on the Boston naming test.
What is mild aphasia.
This type of aphasia is characterized by impaired naming, repetition and comprehension; but preserved fluency.
What is Wernickes aphasia?
This type of aphasia is characterized by impaired naming and fluency; and preserved comprehension and repetiton.
What is transcortical motor aphasia?
This type of stroke is characterized by the rupture of a blood vessel.
What is a hemorrhagic stroke.
While debated, this brain area is located on the left superior temporal gyrus, just beneath Heschels gyrus. (ONLY on the left side.)
Where is Wernicke's area?
Aphasia is considered this type if the mean utterance length is less than 5.
This type of Aphasia is characterized by impaired naming and repetition; and preserved comprehension and fluency?
What is Conduction aphasia?
This type of Aphasia is characterized by impaired naming, comprehension, and fluency; and preserved comprehension.
What is Broca's Aphasia?
This type of stroke is characterized by a blockage of all or a portion of an artery.
What is an occlusive stroke?
This type of aphasia is thought to be caused by:
- a legion somewhere on/near the Arcuate Fasciculus. (the motor tract which runs from Broca's to Wernicke's area.)
-damage to white and gray matter of LH Parietal temporal junction.
What is conduction aphasia?
This is one type of way lexical retrieval abilities can be assessed.
What are lexical tasks, confrontation naming, and free naming tasks?
This type of Aphasia is characterized by impaired naming and comprehension; and preserved fluency and repitition.
What is transcortical sensory Aphasia?
This type of aphasia is mostly commonly associated with legions in watershed areas (between ACA and MCA boundaries.)
What is Transcortical motor aphasia?
This stroke-related incident is caused by an insufficient blood supply to the brain
What is hypoperfusion?
This type of aphasia is caused by a legion in the posterior watershed zone. (Legions in MCA-PCA border)
What is transcortical sensory aphasia?
This issue involves difficulty understanding auditorily delivered information. Environmental sound interpretation is not impaired.
What is pure word deafness?
This type of Aphasia can be predicted from damage to the angular, Heschel's, and superior temporal gyrus, as well as temporal pole and putamen.
This disorder is commonly caused by a disruption of the blood supply to or an infarction in the MCA and adjacent areas.
What is Aphasia?
This is a temporary blockage of the blood supply to any area of the brain. It is also known as a mini-stroke which typically lasts under 30 minutes.
What is a Transient Ischemic Attack?
This detail helps indicate the horizontal section of the brain where both Broca's and Wernicke's area can be seen.
What is the double Y-slice/What are the ventricles?
This disorder is characterized by: acalculia, dysgraphia/agraphia, finger anomia, and right-left confusion.
What is Gertmann's syndrome?
