conduction aphasia

Question 1

most commonly affected areas

Answer 1

supramarginal gyrus, underlying white mater pathways, wernicke’s area, left insula, auditory cortex

Question 2

conduction aphasia

Answer 2

due to isolated lesions in alternative white mater bundle in inferior parietal lobe

combo lesion affecting left primary auditory cortex, insula, and underlying white mater

Question 3

2 types of conduction aphasia

Answer 3

afferent and efferent

Question 4

afferent

Answer 4

associated with damage to temporal lobe resulting in impaired repetition and memory

Question 5

efferent

Answer 5

damage to parietal and insular regions resulting in phonemic deficits

Question 6

Answer 6

repetition

Question 7

features include

Answer 7

-fluent verbal expression including normal average phrase length along with pauses
-characterized by expressive language deficits that exceed the level of auditory comprehension deficits
-speech production includes errors in sound selection and sequencing followed by self-correction attempts
-more speech errors during repetition tasks compared to spontaneous speech tasks

Question 8

important feature of conduction aphasia

Answer 8

tons of phonemic paraphasias

Question 9

treatment considerations

Answer 9

-emphasize on repetition training to provide a transition to spontaneous speech production
