Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with conduction aphasia can understand language and produce grammatically correct sentences, but have difficulty with repeating what was said to them due to damage in their arcuate fasciculus, which connects Wernicke's area and Broca's area. They may also have trouble with word retrieval, but this is not a defining characteristic of conduction aphasia.
