aphasia is a language disorderThe common types of aphasia are:
1-
Broca's
aphasia (expressive aphasia):This type is also known as
non-fluent aphasia. People with this type of aphasia have
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
communicating with others orally and and in written. Broca's aphasia is called expressive aphasia because the aphasic knows what he wants to say but is not able to sayor express it with words.
2.
Wernicke's
aphasia (receptive aphasia)
This type involves difficulty understandingspoken or written language. The aphasic can hear the voice or see the print but is not able to make sense
of the words.
Patients with Wernicke's aphasia have impaired
repetition
but have more fluent speech than patients with Broca's aphasia.
3.
Conduction aphasia
“Conduit d'approche” refers to an attempt to correct errors. This type is also called
associative
aphasia. It is a relatively rare form of aphasia and results from damage to the nerve fibres in the arcuate fasciculus,
which connects Wernicke's and Broca's areas. In this type, aphasics' language output is fluent but
naming and repetition are impaired. Patients with conduction aphasia may have a remarkable written comprehension;
4. Nominal aphasia (anomic aphasia)
This form of aphasia may be the result of a recovered aphasia of another aphasia type. However, true anomic aphasia is its own aphasia type. The cause of this type could be lesions in multiple brain areas, including lesion in the dorsolateral frontal cortex, posterior temporo-occipital cortex, or thalamus. A left anterior temporal lesion also can
cause anomic.This type is considered the least severe form of aphasia. People suffering from
this type have difficulty in finding and using the correct
