Card 15 / 30:
A patient responds to the question “What is your name?” with a look of incomprehension. Which of the two major language areas is most likely affected and what is the name for that type of aphasia?
Wernicke’s area is associated with the comprehension of language, so the person probably doesn’t understand the question being asked and cannot respond meaningfully. This is called a receptive aphasia.
