Exam 1 Part 13 Flashcards
What types of deficit can co-occur with aphasia?
Associated motor
Associated motor deficits occur when the ____ is damaged
Frontal lobe
What are some examples of associated motor deficits?
Dysarthria, apraxia of speech, dysphagia
Gives reference point for other speech-language pathologists and health-related professionals
Aphasia classification
Aphasia caused by damage to the cortex
Cortical aphasia
What are the 2 types of cortical aphasia?
Fluent and non-fluent
What are examples of non-fluent aphasia (3)?
Broca’s, transcortical motor, global
What are examples of fluent aphasia (4)
Conduction, anomic, Wernicke’s, transcortical sensory
What is an example of an atypical aphasia?
Crossed
What are examples of a primary progressive aphasia?
Progressive nonfluent aphasia, semantic dementia
Aphasia characterized by agrammaticism, telegraphic speech, shortened utterance length, anomia, intact receptive language, aware of errors, impaired ability to repeat; good communicator but poor speaker
Broca’s aphasia
Site of lesion for Broca’s aphasia?
Occlusion to Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) of inferior posterior frontal lobe of left hemisphere
Aphasia characterized by preserved articulation unless occlusion hits motor cortex, intact receptive language, dis fluent speech, likely anomia, able to repeat, unlikely to have preserved writing
Transcortical motor aphasia
What is the location of damage for transcortical motor aphasia?
Occlusion of anterior cerebral artery of most anterior branches of MCA to supplementary motor cortex and area anterior to Broca’s
Location of damage for global aphasia?
Occlusion to primary branch of middle cerebral artery in left hemisphere supplying zone of language (Broca’s, Wernicke’s, arcuate fasciculus)
