Substitution, syllable structure, assimilation
2 atypical processes
backing, initial consonant deletion
Ability to hold a given amount of info for immediate processing

Procedural memory
The ability to “focus” on and respond to stimuli and information
Focused attention

Divided attention
Non-fluent aphasia =
Broca’s
Where is Broca’s area
Posterior inferior frontal gyrus in left hemisphere
In Broca’s aphasia, what do we see
effortful, telegraphic speech; impaired grammar
What’s better in Broca’s aphasia?
Auditory comprehension > expression
Fluent aphasia=
Wernicke’s
Where is wernicke’s area
Posterior, superior left temporal lobe
In Wernicke’s aphasia, what do we see
Fluent, copious verbal output; poor auditory comp
Visuospatial deficits, visual (left) neglect
Anosognosia
Prosodic, inferencing, and discourse deficits
Sustained and selective attention deficits
RHD
denial and poor awareness of impairment
Anosognosia
Apraxia is damage to
Inferior posterior left hemisphere
Deficit of motor planning with normal speech musculature
Apraxia
problem with word finding
anomia
Error in which an incorrect word, part of word, or sound is substituted for an intended target word
paraphasia
few phoneme mistakes, mostly correct word
phonemic paraphasia
word substituted for word with similar meaning
semantic paraphasia
word substituted for made up word
Neologistic paraphasia
Inappropriate repetition of a word or idea previously produced
perseveration
Grammar deficits, inadequate sentence production
Agrammatism
Acquired reading impairment following brain damage
Alexia
Acquired writing impairment following brain damage
Agraphia
Error type in which a new word is created; the word has no meaning to speaker and is entirely different from intended word
Neologism
Talking around the intended word or idea
Circumlocution
Continuous fluent utterances that make little sense but appear to make sense to the speaker, typically seen in fluent aphasia
