Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Broca's aphasia is characterized by difficulty in generating fluent speech, while Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by difficulty in language comprehension. Therefore, choice D is correct as it correctly identifies both impairments. Choice A is incorrect because association aphasia is not a recognized term; rather, it is a subtype of Wernicke's aphasia. Choice B is incorrect because it reverses the impairments associated with Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia. Choice C is incorrect because it only identifies one of the impairments (Wernicke's aphasia), and association aphasia is not a recognized term.
