also known as "receptive aphasia"

Wernicke's Aphasia

also known as receptive aphasia. -comprehension impaired -impaired writing -poor naming ability -motor impairment not typical d/t the distance from Wernicke's area to the motor cortx

structure often contributing to slurred and impaired speech

tongue

True or False: Aphasia is an acquired neurological impairment of processing for receptive and/or expressive language

true

verbal apraxia

term for receptive aphasia

wernicke's

fluent aphasia

word output and speech production are functional. speech lacks any substance, use of paraphasias.

Global Aphasia

comprehension is severely impaired, impaired naming, writing, repetition skills. may involuntarily verbalize, usually without correct context

conduction aphasia

useful strategy when treating partients with aphasia

cueing

dysarthria

speech often noted as slurred

dysarthria

Which of the following speech disorders is characterized by changes in vocal quality such as harshness, hoarseness or breathiness?

dysphonia

non-fluent aphasia frequently involves what part of the brain?

frontal lobe

global aphasia

lesion of the frontal, temporal, parietal lobes

conducition aphasia

lesions of arcuate fasciculus, supramarginal gyrus

wernicke's aphasia

lesions of posterior region of superior temporal gyrus

broca's aphasia

lesions of the 3rd convolution of frontal lobe

Broca's Aphasia

most common form of aphasia intact auditory and reading comprehension, impaired epitition and naming skills, frustration with language skill erroes.

type of skills used to communicate with severe aphasia

nonverbal

non-fluent aphasia

poor word output, increased effort for producing speech. poor articulation.

Which term is most consistent with Wernicke's aphasia?

receptive aphasia

abbreviation for medical condition often associated with aphasia

CVA

the hemisphere of the brain most often dominant for language

Left

True or False: Wernkicke's aphasia and conduction aphasia are two types of non-fluent aphasia
