Expressive Aphasia Expressive aphasia, also known as non-fluent or Broca's aphasia, is characterized by a dramatic deficit in the production of speech. While semantics are largely preserved in expressive aphasia, the overall trends in symptoms of damage to Broca's area seem to indicate a breakdown of syntactic ordering and structuring and a deficit in rhythm and fluency of speech. Expressive aphasia results from damage to the left inferior frontal region, also known as the Broca's region. www.haverford.edu /psych/courses/p217/web/aphasia/expressive.htm   (762 words)

Untitled Document · Individuals diagnosed with Broca& aphasia frequently speak using short and meaningful phrases that take a lot of effort to produce, and their speech is slow and slurred. · It is considered fluent aphasia because the speech present in those with Wernicke& aphasia is often more fluent than the speech of those with lesions in Broca& area. · Individuals with Wernicke& aphasia, as opposed to individuals with Broca& aphasia, tend to speak using long sentences that have no meaning. www.tcnj.edu /~scasser2/cog/aphasia2.htm   (196 words)

Aphasia: A Language Disorder Broca's aphasia affects the frontal lobe adjacent to the primary motor cortex, and Wernicke's aphasia affects the posterior portion of the first frontal lobe (3). In physiological terms, Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia occur in the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for controlling the right side of the body along with speech and language abilities. In considering the effects of aphasia, a deeper analysis of the two most common forms of aphasia will be examined: Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia. serendip.brynmawr.edu /bb/neuro/neuro99/web1/Xiong.html   (1418 words)

Diary_11.html Damage to an area of the brain named after it's dicoverer Brocas area, causes a deformatioon in speech known as Broca's aphasia. In Broca's aphasia patients tend to have a slow non-fluent speech. Damage to this area causes Weirnecke's aphasia which is defined as a difficulty in understanding speech and also produces meaningless speech.The speech of a patient with Weirneckes aphasia appears to have fluent speech but most of his speech is comprised of nonsense words. www.macalester.edu /psychology/whathap/diaries/diariesf96/louie/Diary_11.html   (451 words)

Aphasiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Broca's aphasia, first described by the French neurologist Paul Broca in the nineteenth century, the speech of its suffers have a considerable vocabulary but is lacking even basic grammar. The view of Broca's aphasia as an expressive disorder is supported by its frequent co-occurrence with facial motor difficulties, and its anatomical localization. Such a view is supported by the complementary nature of Wernicke's aphasia, described by the German neurologist Karl Wernicke, a contemporary of Broca. www.encyclopedia-online.info /Aphasiology   (508 words)

The Man With a Hole in His Brain -- My Brain Hurts The speech defect caused by damage to Broca's area is called expressive aphasia, motor aphasia or Broca's aphasia. This is the approximate location of Broca's area in the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe of the cortex.

UH Cogsci:Pathologies Broca's aphasia results from damage to this area and is characterized by slow, laborious, hesitant speech, with little intonation and obvious articulation difficulties. Broca's type aphasics are studied by speech production researchers intersted in modeling both the processes of speech production and the underlying disruptions giving rise to such disorders. (2) Broca's Aphasia (or `Broca's Type Aphasia') is named after the French neurologist Paul Broca, who in the nineteenth century identified an area within the frontol lobe which is important in the control of speech. www.hfac.uh.edu /cogsci/lang/pathologies.html   (1084 words)

Aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Broca's aphasia is thus characterized as a nonfluent aphasia. Individuals with Broca's aphasia often have right-sided weakness or paralysis of the arm and leg because the frontal lobe is also important for body movement. Aphasia research is exploring new ways to evaluate and treat aphasia as well as to further understanding of the function of the brain. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aphasia   (2131 words)

Conference Materials On-line sentence processing studies also have shown that patients with Brocas aphasia show impairments in sentence processing operations. Lesion-deficit correlational studies, for example, have shown that patients with Broca's aphasia present with difficulty comprehending sentences such as passives or object relative clauses in which noun phrases (NPs) have been moved out of the canonical S-V-O (in English) position (Grodzinsky, l990, 2000; Schwartz et al.

U of A Cog Sci Dictionary (Broca's Area) People suffering from neurophysiological damage to this area (called Broca's aphasia or nonfluent aphasia) are unable to understand and make grammatically complex sentences. Named for Paul Broca who first described it in 1861, Broca's area is the section of the brain which is involved in speech production, specifically assessing syntax of words while listening, and comprehending structural complexity. In speech production, content words are selected by neural systems in Wernicke's area, grammatical refinements are added by neural systems in Broca's area, and then the information is sent to the motor cortex, which sets up the muscle movements for speaking. web.psych.ualberta.ca /~mike/Pearl_Street/Dictionary/contents/B/brocas_area.html   (676 words)

Expressive aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Expressive aphasia, known as Broca's aphasia in clinical neuropsychology and agrammatic aphasia in cognitive neuropsychology, is an aphasia caused by damage to Broca's area in the brain. Expressive Aphasia is also a classification of non-fluent aphasia, as opposed to fluent aphasia. Diagnosis is done on a case by case basis, as lesions often affect surrounding cortex and deficits are not well conserved between patients. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Expressive%2Baphasia   (164 words)

MNEMON.net Broca's aphasia: This disorder is sometimes called anterior aphasia and is usually caused by damage to Broca's area but may also arise when the primary motor cortex, or the sub cortical white matter of the frontal lobe is damaged. Broca's aphasiacs are aware of their errors and try to compensate for them.

Aphasia: Specific Syndromes (Nonfluent) Lesions are typically smaller than those that cause Broca's aphasia and are superior to and often anterior to Broca's area. (DeRenzi and Vignolo, 1966), which assesses subtle receptive language dysfunction, to evaluate the auditory comprehension of Broca's aphasics and to distinguish between Broca's aphasia and verbal apraxia. According to FitzGerald,1996, the principal output from Broca's area is to cell columns in the tongue and face areas of the precentral gyrus. www.csuchico.edu /~pmccaff/syllabi/SPPA336/336unit7.html   (832 words)

Post-stroke aphasia Among the aphasia types global aphasia has the poorest prognosis, Broca’s aphasics often recovering towards anomic aphasia, and Wernicke’s aphasics tending to recover towards anomic or conduction aphasias. According to Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz 1982) aphasia is classified as non-fluent aphasias, including global, Broca’s, isolation and transcortical motor aphasias, and as fluent aphasias, including Wernicke’s, transcortical sensory, conduction and anomic aphasias. Anomic aphasia is a common endstage in the evolutionary process of both fluent and non-fluent aphasias. herkules.oulu.fi /isbn9514254279/html/x343.html   (832 words)

Aphasia: Specific Syndromes (Fluent) In this case, conduction aphasics can be differentiated from Broca's aphasics by their good articulation, normal intonation and use of a variety of syntactic patterns. Conduction aphasics could comprehend the nouns and verbs in a sentence, but would not be able to understand grammatical morphemes such as prepositions and conjunctions because incoming information is not transferred from Wernicke's area to Broca's area. Unambiguous cases of conduction aphasia usually receive a score between 2 and 4 on the severity rating scale of the Boston. www.csuchico.edu /~pmccaff/syllabi/SPPA336/336unit8.html   (832 words)
