Compare and contrast the symptoms noted in Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: A person with Broca's aphasia has difficulty in speech articulation, word choice
(anomia), and using grammar. Such a person is able to comprehend speech better than he or she can produce speech. In contrast, Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by fluent speech that is meaningless, and this form of aphasia, unlike Broca's, is characterized by poor speech comprehension. Moreover, a person with Wernicke's aphasia seems unaware of his or her speech deficits. Broca's aphasia is produced by damage to tissue in and around Broca's area, whereas Wernicke's is produced by damage to the superior temporal lobe of the left hemisphere.
