A type of aphasia traditionally associated with neurological damage to Wernicke's area in the brain; the patient speaks with normal grammar, syntax, and intonation, but may use the wrong words or insert non-existent words
(Tıp, İlaç) Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke’s aphasia, fluent aphasia, or sensory aphasia in clinical neuropsychology and cognitive neuropsychology, is a type of aphasia often (but not always) caused by neurological damage to Wernicke’s area in the brain (Brodman area 22, in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus of the dominant hemisphere). This is not to be confused with Wernicke’s encephalopathy or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. The aphasia was first described by Carl Wernicke and its understanding substantially advanced by Norman Geschwind
aphasia characterized by fluent but meaningless speech and severe impairment of the ability understand spoken or written words
