AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -People with Broca aphasia, sometimes called an expressive aphasia, for example, may eliminate the words “and” and “the” from their language, and speak in short, but meaningful, sentences. They usually can understand some speech of others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Broca aphasia is a non-fluent aphasia in which the output of spontaneous speech is markedly diminished and there is a loss of normal grammatical structure. Specifically, small linking words, conjunctions, such as and, or, and but, and the use of prepositions are lost.

Detailed explanation-3: -Broca’s dysphasia (also known as Broca’s aphasia) People with Broca’s dysphasia have extreme difficulty forming words and sentences, and may speak with difficulty or not at all. They often understand what others say better than they speak.

Detailed explanation-4: -People with Broca’s aphasia struggle to form words. They may repeat words or simple phrases over and over (but struggle to or can’t repeat back something you say to them). People with the most severe cases can’t make any sounds (mutism) or can only make a single sound at a time. Understanding is not affected.

Detailed explanation-5: -They often omit small words, such as “is, ” “and” and “the.” For example, a person with Broca’s aphasia may say, “Walk dog, ” meaning, “I will take the dog for a walk, ” or “book book two table, ” for “There are two books on the table.” People with Broca’s aphasia typically understand the speech of others fairly well.
