“Hello classmates,
When it comes to studying aphasia, the type of aphasia can be very helpful when it comes to tracking what part of the brain is affecting. For example, the symptoms of Sarah Scott in Byron Peterson show the differences that can be seen indifferent types of aphasia. By that I mean nonfluent aphasia versus fluent aphasia, the symptoms of both of these play a big role as to what particular part of the brain it affects. So, being that the Wernicke area part of the brain is the center for comprehension and planning words, so when you see symptoms such as being able to keep fluent word pattern, but sometimes the words seem to be incorrect or made-up, it is more probable that this is the area of the brain that is being affected. The Broca area part of the brain is more so located in the inferior frontal area of the brain, this area is more responsible for motor execution of speech and sentence formation. This being the case, when you meet someone who has nonfluent aphasia and see symptoms such as constant struggle to get words out in speaking in very short sentences it is more likely that this form of aphasia came from the Broca area of the brain (Le & Lui, 2023). In Sarah Scott’s case, we saw nonfluent aphasia and in Byron Peterson’s case we saw fluent aphasia. There was a case with a woman named Melba Ashburn who had a stroke at 79 years old unexpectedly. After she had her stroke, she had aphasia and as a treatment they had to start with reteaching her language like a first grader as she put it (Feelings After a Stroke – My Story – the National Aphasia Association, 2015). Through this process she had to relearn numbers and practice with numbers, she said when it came to her zip code, she would use that to practice. Also, when it came to her language she would have to write down members of her family to practice with, but eventually she was able to get the hang of it. Melba Had nonfluent aphasia, but through the treatment of having to constantly and consistently go to her therapist to help her with her speech she’s still keeps the mentality of there is a life after a stroke (Feelings After a Stroke – My Story – the National Aphasia Association, 2015).
Question: In your opinion do you believe aphasia is a common case amongst stroke survivors?
