a. conduction aphasia (pg.267)
a. conduction aphasia

- relatively preserved auditory comprehension
- preserved repetition
- a variety of lesion locations
- often in posterior language regions
c. anomic aphasia (pg.267)
true/false: it is a language impairment and not speech impairment that is the critical feature of aphasia
true (pg.256)
what are the 5 components of aphasia?
- lexical retrieval deficits
- agrammatism
- impaired auditory comprehension
- verbal repetition
- reading and writing deficits
(pg. 256)
______ is difficulty finding words and is the core feature of every aphasia syndrome
anomia (pg. 256)
______ is difficulty with the expression and/or comprehension of the grammatical units of language
agrammatism (pg.256)
a. deep dyslexia
b. surface dyslexia
c. pure alexia
d. letter-by- letter reading
e. agraphia
- cannot access grapheme-to-phoneme conversion
- use whole-word reading route
- produce semantic paralexic errors in oral reading (e.g reading doctor as nurse)
- cannot read nonwords or semanticlly empty words (e.g for, by to)
a. deep dyslexia (pg.256)
a. deep dyslexia
b. surface dyslexia
c. pure alexia
d. letter-by- letter reading
e. agraphia
- limited access to meaning on a whole-word basis
- can only use grapheme to phoneme conversion
- good with regular spelling, but not irregular spelling
b. surface dyslexia (pg.256)
a. deep dyslexia
b. surface dyslexia
c. pure alexia
d. letter-by- letter reading
e. agraphia
- complete inability to read aloud
- cannot recognize letters or words
- can write normally, but cannot read what they write
- understand tactile writing on their skin
- caused by a loss of specifically visual input into the language areas
c. pure alexia without agraphia (pg.257)
a. deep dyslexia
b. surface dyslexia
c. pure alexia
d. letter-by- letter reading
e. agraphia
- less severe form of a visual input based reading disorder
- there is preservation of individual letter reading but readers cannot read words a a whole word
- tend to read each letter aloud and then construct internally what the word is by using their comprehension of oral spelling
d. letter by letter reading (pg.257
a. deep dyslexia
b. surface dyslexia
c. pure alexia
d. letter-by- letter reading
e. agraphia
- difficulty retrieving words for writing
- various spelling errors
- caused by the linguistic disorder, not by the fact that the PWA may be using their non dominant hand
- inability to write but no other language problems (this is the pure form)
e. agraphia (pg.257)
what are the 4 other disorders that commonly accompany aphasia?
- perseveration
- apraxia
- agnosia
- nonverbal cognitive impairment
(pg. 257)
_____-is the inappropriate repetition of a response or continuation of a behavior when it is no longer required or appropriate
perseveration (pg.257)
a. recurrent perseveration
b. continuous perseveration
-production of a previously made response after a filled delay
a. recurrent (pg.257)
a. recurrent perseveration
b. continuous perseveration
-this immediate repetition of the same response that was just made; the person cannot stop making the same response
b. continuous perseveration (pg.257)
_____is the disorder of the execution of learned movement that is not caused by motor weakness, incoordianiton, or sensory loss and is not due to failure to understand the command
apraxia (pg.257)
-they know the idea of the movement they want to perform but cannot get the body to perform them correctly due to a disconnection in neuroanatomical pathways
______is a sensorimotor speech disorder with symptoms of impaired volitional production of articulation and prosody that does not result from abnormal muscle strength, tone or timing; nor does it arise from aphasia, confusion, generalized intellectual impairment or hearing loss
apraxia of speech (pg.257)
___ are disorders of recognition of objects, people, sounds, colors, etc that are not a result of primary sensory deficits
agnosia (pg.257)
true/false: agnosia are generally associated with cortical brain damage in regions of the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes
true (pg.257)
