Broca’s Aphasia 00:28
This is also known as Motoric (expressive) aphasia.
In this type of aphasia, it takes a lot of effort to say words or string together sentences.
Broca's area: frontal lobe - inferior frontal gyrus.
Wernicke’s Aphasia 01:33
This is also known as receptive aphasia.
In this type, speaking isn’t difficult; in fact, the words pour out of the mouth with ease. But the problem is that the person isn’t forming coherent words, or those words aren’t coming together into coherent sentences.
Wernicke's area: temporal lobe - superior temporal gyrus
Amnestic (or anomic) Aphasia 02:32
Conduction or associative aphasia 03:05
Mixed or Global Aphasia 03:27
