Q

this non fluent aphasia is characterized by severely impaired auditory comprehension

A

Mixed Transcortical Aphasia (MTA)

19
Q

caused by extensive lesions affecting all language areas (the perisylvian region)

A

Global Aphasia

20
Q

What are the different types of fluent Aphasias

A

Wernickes Aphasia
Transcortical Sensory Aphasia
Conduction Aphasia
Anomic Aphasia

21
Q

this Aphasia is caused by lesions to the wernicke area (the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus in the left hemisphere of the brain)

A

Wernickes aphasia

22
Q

Wernickes area is supplied by what artery

A

the posterior branch of the left middle cerebral Artery

23
Q

these patients are usually free from obvious neurologic symptoms such as paralysis

A

Wernicke Aphasia

24
Q

this fluent aphasia is caused by lesions in the tempo parietal lobe especially in the posterior portion of the middle temporal gyrus

A

Transcortical Sensory Aphasia

25
Q

the transcortical sensory area is supplied by the

A

posterior branches of the left middle cerebral artery

26
Q

whats the difference between Wernickes Aphasia and Transcortical Sensory Aphasia

A

repetition is intact with patients that have TSA

27
Q

this aphasia is caused by lesions in the regions between Brocas and Wernickes; especially in the supramarginal gyrus and the arcuate fasciculus

A

Conduction Aphasia

28
Q

Disproportionate impairment in repetition is a distinguishing impairment of this aphasia

A

Conduction Aphasia

29
Q

Unlike with Wernickes this type of fluent aphasia has good to normal auditory comprehension

A

Conduction Aphasia

30
Q

the distinguishing factor for this one is that generally language functions except naming are relatively unimpaired

A

Anomic Aphasia

31
Q

this type of aphasia is caused by lesions in the basal ganglia and surrounding structures in the left hemisphere

A

Subcortical Aphasias

32
Q

What are some common Aphasia assessments

A

Boston Diagnostics Aphasia Examination (BDAE)
Western Aphasia Battery WAB
The Minnesota Test for Differential Diagnosis of Aphasia

33
Q

Name two functional tests for Aphasia

A

ASHA functional assessment of communication skills for adults
Communicative abilities in Daily Living

34
Q

Most current research shows treatment for Aphasia is

A

effective

35
Q

If a patient has a lesion in this region than their prognosis is better

A

Posterior Superior Temporal Lobe (PST)

36
Q

What are some ineffective ways to increase comprehension

A

Louder Speech and video presentations of stimuli

37
Q

What is the term for loss of previously acquired reading skills due to recent brain damage

A

Alexia

38
Q

term for difficulty in learning to read, this difficulty is often genetically based and is manifested in childhood.

A

Dyslexia

39
Q

term for the loss or impairment of normally acquired writing skills due to lesions in the foot of the second frontal gyrus of the brain

A

Agraphia

40
Q

Term for impaired understanding of the meaning of certain stimuli even though there is no peripheral sensory impairment –> patients can feel, hear, and see stimuli but can not understand their meaning.

A

Agnosia

41
Q

Auditory Agnosia is characterized by

A

impaired understanding of the meaning of auditory stimuli
normal peripheral hearing
difficulty matching objects with their sounds
normal visual recognition of objects

42
Q

Auditory Verbal Agnosia is characterized by

A 
PURE WORD DEAFNESS
impaired understanding of spoken words
normal peripheral hearing 
normal recognition of nonverbal sounds
normal recognition of printed words
normal or near normal verbal expression and reading
43
Q

Visual Agnosia is characterized by

A

impaired visual recognition of objects which may be intermittent
normal auditory or tactile recognition of objects

44
Q

Tactile Agnosia is associated with

A

impaired tactile recognition of objects when visual feedback is blocked (blindfold)
impaired naming of objects client can feel with their hand
