What is Conduction Aphasia? Understanding This Unique Speech Disorder

Conduction aphasia is a type of aphasia characterized by difficulty repeating spoken language despite relatively preserved speech production and language comprehension. 

People with this condition can often engage in conversation, understand spoken language, and recognize their own communication errors. However, repeating a word, phrase, or sentence that someone else has just spoken may be surprisingly difficult.

This unique pattern distinguishes conduction aphasia from many other aphasia syndromes and providers important clues about which language networks in the brain have been affected.

2 new female-led series I am LOVING!

Both are new takes on "old" stories! But they are totally different vibes and I watch them for completely different moods! What are other flx thoughts?

  • A Woman of Substance - high drama and fervor. i save it for the evening.
  • The Other Bennett Sister - darling and light n' airy. watched it in one quick sweep in the daytime while i worked. (i won't say how many day(s) ;)

*And a little bonus FYI that Ellis Season 3 is now on Acorn. EDIT: Season 2!

Living With Aphasia: A New Series in 5 Chapters

This series is intended as an introduction to aphasia. The information serves to provide general guidelines and is not a diagnosis.  Since cause, type, and severity of aphasia vary, it is important to obtain specific information from your neurologist, speech-language pathologist, and other care providers about the unique symptoms and management options for each person diagnosed with aphasia.

Cognitive-communication deficits may affect:

Attention

Memory

Executive function (planning, organization, reasoning, self-monitoring)

Discourse and conversation skills
