 A language disorder produced by brain damage.  Most studies come from those who have aphasias.  Study behaviors associated with the damage these patients have.

 AKA: expressive aphasia.  Discovered and named after Paul Broca.  Patients are unable to express themselves beyond a single word at a time.  Pattern of speech is referred to as agrammatism.  Patients ability to comprehend is less impaired than the ability to produce it.

 Nouns and verbs = preserved.  Omit articles, conjunctions, and grammatical inflections.  Speak slowly and confuse related sounds.  Writing is similarly impaired as their speech.

 Found in those who have damage to the frontal regions of the left hemisphere.  Broca’s area is adjacent to the motor cortex and part of the frontal lobe.  These areas are involved in thought, reasoning, judgment, and initiative. Faculty.washington.edu

 Discovered by Carl Wernicke.  AKA: receptive aphasia.  Paragrammatic speech: speech that is fluent but has little informational value.  Comprehension is impaired.

 Caused by damage to a region in the left temporal lobe and near the auditory cortex.  Temporal lobe is the auditory region.  Both Broca’s and Wernicke’s aphasia’s have problems with gestures associated with language. Plato.sanford.edu

 Two kinds  Referential gesture  Refer to the content of the conversation. Ex: point upward.  Interactive gesture  interactive in nature. Ex: putting one’s hand up to indicate turn.  Broca’s aphasics have problems with interactive while wernicke’s aphasics have more problems with referential.

 Disturbance of repetition  Able to understand and produce speech.  Have difficulty in repeating what they heard.  Caused because of disconnection between Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas.

 Pure word deafness  Unable to comprehend language in the auditory modality.  Damage to the auditory nerve and the corpus callosum.  Result = left and right auditory center can transmit info to other language regions  patients can hear words but can’t comprehend them.

 Alexia  Dissociation of visual regions from language areas.  Agraphia  Inability to write  Damage to angular gyrus leads to these disorders.

 Transcortical sensory aphasia  Disturbance of single word comprehension with intact repetition.  Transcortical motor aphasia  Disturbance of spontaneous speech but spares naming.  Anomic aphasia  Disturbance of production of single words.  Global aphasia  Major disturbances of all language functions.
