When there is a lesion in the Wernicke area, the images and words transmitted to the visual and auditory cortices cannot stimulate this area, therefore fails to activate the language system. The patient cannot process this information within the context of language, thus cannot understand the speech s\/he hears or read the writing s\/he sees.<\/p>\n

Patients with Wernicke\u2019s aphasia<\/strong>\u00a0are not aware of this situation. They speak fluently. They speak non-stop. The number of words they say in a minute is normal, or even beyond normal. The patients cannot recognize that they have speech disorder. In general, the patients think they express what they want to say and might get angry when they are not understood. Words coming out of their mouth are incomprehensible.<\/p>\n

They make 2 different types of paraphasia:<\/p>\n

Verbal paraphasia;<\/strong> they mistake one word for another. For instance, the patient might say \u201cI like you\u201d while actually meaning \u201ccome here\u201d.<\/p>\n

Examples of speech of a patient attempting to talk with verbal paraphasia:<\/p>\n

– \u201cWhat\u2019s your name?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: \u201cI understand, they are nice but I cannot buy. I accept it but I cannot buy.\u201d<\/p>\n

– \u201cHow are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer: \u201cI simply cannot buy; these waiting I\u2019ve been\u201d<\/p>\n

When shown a key and asked what that was, the patient recognized the key and said \u201cThis is what we cheat on, women wait such things\u201d instead of saying \u201ckey\u201d while making gestures like turning a key and opening a door. During the assessment of Wernicke\u2019s Aphasia, the same patient was shown a Cookie card. This card has an image of a woman washing dishes as the water is overflowing through the floor; a girl and a boy steal cookies from a jar behind the woman; the stool the boy got on tips over. When asked to tell what he sees on that card, the patient\u2019s answer was \u201cThere is a girl, as a woman here, I mean this girl didn\u2019t do these, caused by the boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neo-logistic paraphasia:<\/strong>\u00a0they speak in a new language where they juxtapose irrelevant syllables. They speak in an extremely jerky manner. They may also have perseveration during the speech. \u201cThe kid\u2019s place in this home was entered. This kid\u2019s checkered plane, went in. The woman, they bought the small newly-opened place, came in with the kid while falling. The kid\u2019s seizure was fall down. Fallen seizure to the frol. It was let fall with tips. For your daughter the place was dropped. Ceekor\u201d<\/p>\n

Examples from two patients speaking with paraphasia used for the assessment of their neo-logistic Wernicke\u2019s aphasia:<\/p>\n

The patient, who was shown a Cookie card and asked to tell what he saw, said: \u201cThese two inside shell. This is for felg. This from g\u0131bl. On the other hand, s\u0131l\u0131s case, cub\u0131la to his nape\u201d. When shown a pencil and a table, and asked about their names, this patient said \u201cHambe\u201d, and \u201cFaze\u201d. For the same card, the second patient said: \u201cSand\u0131l, camadan cigen, trees Woman dress tight. Thghts dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The patients with Wernicke\u2019s aphasia have impaired comprehension. They understand neither what they say, nor what is said to them. However, they understand mimics and gestures. As they don\u2019t understand what is said to them, they cannot repeat it. They have an advanced level of naming the things they see, but their reading and writing are impaired at a normal level. Like the patients with Broca\u2019s aphasia, they cannot perform mathematical operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
