Q

What are the three routes that repetition can be carried out?

A
  • Bypass route: for the repetition of non words or unfamiliar words. Involves the acoustic to phonological conversion
  • For words: pathway with semantic system
  • Phonological input lexicon For words, pathway that bypasses semantic system (repetition but not understanding)

Q

Describe word meaning deafness

A
  • disrupted connection between auditory input lexicon and semantics
  • rare
  • diff understanding speech
  • spontaneous speech intact
  • repetition, writing and reading intact, so can comprehend this way

Q

Describe deep dysphasia

A
  • impaired access to semantics from auditory input lexicon & impaired non-lexical bypass route
  • auditory analogue to deep dyslexia
  • many semantic errors in repetition
  • semantic errors in writing to dictation
  • poor with grammatical function words
  • concrete > abstract
  • unable to repeat new or nonword
