How do written and verbal deficits match up? Are individuals with one type of deficit similarly or differently affected as those with the other type of deficit?

What will be an ideal response?


Largely, verbal deficits match written deficits when it comes to aphasias. People with Wernicke's aphasia have as much difficulty reading and writing as they do speaking and understanding language. Similarly, individuals with Broca's aphasia have difficulty with both speaking and with reading aloud. People with Broca's aphasia who have agrammatism commit these same errors when writing.
