PSYCH 161 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Paraphasia, Aphasia, Agrammatism
Document Summary
Errors can result in real words: puck for cup. If word is grossly distorted it is called a neologism. Often related in meaning in which case they may be called semantic paraphasia. Sometimes a fluent aphasia can look nonfluent if word-finding or excessive paraphasias leads to hesitation or repeated correction attempts, as in conduction aphasia. Speech errors roughly at the word level. Tendency to omit grammatical function words in speech production. Associated with broca"s aphasia but can dissociate from broca"s aphasia. Classically distinguished from agrammatism as involving grammatical substitution rather than omission, but this may be a matter of degree. Severe forms can result in word salad nonsensical speech. We save a lot of hands on hold for peoples for us other hands. I don"t know what you get but i talk with a lot of hand fram. Most severe is word deafness (auditory verbal agnosia) classically not an aphasia.
