An individual with Wernicke's aphasia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wernicke's aphasia is a type of receptive aphasia, meaning that the individual has difficulty in understanding speech. They may also produce fluent, but nonsensical speech and have difficulty with word-finding and using appropriate grammar, but they are not necessarily aware of their deficits. Difficulty with function words and prepositions may occur, but are not defining features of this type of aphasia. Lack of appropriate prosody may also occur, but is not the primary characteristic.
