Question

The Wernicke–Geschwind model of language processing predicted a form of aphasia that would result from a lesion that disconnects Wernicke's area from Broca's area while leaving both areas intact. What type of aphasia is this?

Answer 1

Conduction aphasia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aphasia refers to the partial or complete loss of language abilities after brain damage. Wernicke's Area is located on the superior surface of the temporal lobe between the auditory cortex and the angular gyrus , while Broca's Area is the region of the dominant left frontal lobe critical for articulating speech. Thus, the rare condition of conduction aphasia involves poor speech production but undamaged auditory comprehension.
