Communication Disorders

Question 1

Fluent Aphasia

Answer 1

temporal lobe, Wernicke’s area, parietal lobe

Word output and speech production are functional

prosody acceptable but empty speech/jargon

speech lacks substance, use of paraphasias

use of neologisms

Question 2

Prosody

Answer 2

inotation of speech. Influctions

Question 3

Paraphasias

Answer 3

jumbled speech
meaningless sentences

Question 4

Neologisms

Answer 4

substitution within a word that is so severe it makes the work unrecognizable

Question 5

Non-fluent Aphasia

Answer 5
