Stephen's disorder is characterized by pauses, hesitation, and difficulty finding the right words, which is indicative of Broca's aphasia. This is a type of non-fluent aphasia, where speech production is limited and effortful. On the other hand, Stephanie's disorder is characterized by jumbled and incoherent speech, which is indicative of Wernicke's aphasia. This is a type of fluent aphasia, where speech production is relatively effortless, but the content is often nonsensical or irrelevant.
