Whoever that lady is, she is a terrible communicator to the point of cruelty. Why would you ask contentful questions like that when you can expect the other person won't be able to answer them? And when he does manage to express himself with words stored deeper and closer to strong emotions, she insists on focusing on the words he has no control over. Surely someone somewhere has developed a communication method for people in his situation?!
@Scandinavian92 Broca's is when you understand language completely, but cannot use your speech muscles properly to make fluent speech. Wernicke's is when you cannot understand language, therefore your sentences will not make sense, but your speech is fluent. I could be wrong though, but I think that's what I was taught.
@KamikazeChris33 Correct. Broca's Area is located next to the Motor Cortex (particularly the lips). Broca's Aphasia results in an ability to understand language and respond, but cannot process outgoing complex communication correctly (can't put their thoughts into words). Wernicke's Aphasia is where language isn't correctly understood, but there's no problem processing into words; often resulting in gibberish.
In both, common/short phrases are often normal. Total loss is rare.
I had a similar problem once at work where a customer was speaking to me. Their words were in plain english but I couldn't comprehend and asked to repeat multiple times. Fortunately a co-worker was nearby and helped them. It was embarrassing that I had to ask for help with basic communication. I was in my early 30s at the time. Can heavy metal poisoning be responsible? I suspect my life-long dental amalgams may have played a role. Slow leakage of mercury has been scientifically proven.
@WizardOfHumor1989 LMAO, you can barely even see him w/ the crappy video quality but it's so true! who thinks of that comparison?? seriously LOL made my night. especially after watching all these sad vids, thank you
you can see he is trying to explain why it is so hard for him to talk....its not that he doesnt know what he is trying to say....he understands it in his brain, but there is a disconnect between his thought process and his speech centre...he does know what is going on, just doesnt know how to put it into words that make sense
After reading a little about this disease, it seems like one might mistake it very easily for straight out demensia, but there are major differences. It's not that the person's gone "crazy", though one might think so. What's happening is like a severed connection between what the person thinks and what they say. It also works the other way, and they can't understand what people say to them. They can't control what they say, either. It's just a stream of meaningless words, but with proper syntax.
A: [...] Well, for instance around Planet Earth, around here...
Is it just me who is upset by how the interviewer is treating him as at best incapable of understanding, or at worst deaf and lacking in intelligence? I would *never* speak to an experimental subject like that.
Despite obvious aphasic properties of his language generation, he does show contextual understanding of the interviewer's questions -- and I think is following better than many would give him credit for (and better than the interviewer I think realised). I find it sad how patronising the interviewer is to an educated man who, in fact, answers quite cogently and humourously if one looks behind the strange constructions.
@ganymedia I don't think he's meaning to do that. He keeps going back to his mouth, almost regardless of the question. He can't even understand what he's saying, much less what the person is asking. It's a total disconnect between thought and speech.
I totally agree.. he using the same normal tonal variations that we all use when talking. like when you're getting to the end of a sentance or making a point, we change our tone to flow with sentance. He seems to be doing that. He also must understand to a degree, but when she asked how many years he was a dentist he actually said some numbers instead of, say, "horse book in at the macaroni tuesday".
He seems legit. If he were talking to someone and you were in a room not paying too much attention, you'd think he was having just a regular conversation.
@Sandie2897 its not so much that they cant express it vocally, like Broca's aphasia, its the fact that they are unable to comprehend speech. it makes no sense to them
Repetition is intact, so this is probably not Wernicke's aphasia, rather trans-cortical sensory aphasia, most likely the patient is recovering from Wernicke's and having transient TCSA.
The desiese is serious or the condition because he knows what he's not dumb or stupid he said he its hard those words because when he speaks he know what he wants to say but the fail as soon as they reach his mouth which i honestly believe is fascinating and he seemed like a awsome guy :).
Rewatch this and assume that when he point to his mouth he's talking about this inability to use the right words. It seemed to me that at the end he was talking about how the words mix when they come out of his mouth. The interviewer didn't get it, but I felt like he was talking about his difficultly and understood him.
@sadie1689 You have it backwards. Wernicke's Aphasia (word salad) patients think they understand the question; that is why he is not frustrated. Pardon my French, but they talk out of their ass. Whereas a patient with Broca's Aphasia will understand the question but then become very frustrated because they are not able to voice what they want to say.
@sadie1689 I don't believe it is a Broca's aphasia, because Broca's area is primarily concerned with the complex movements that go into producing speech sounds; if he had a Broca's aphasia he would not be able to produce so many words that are actually recognizable as words. There is also some evidence that he doesn't REALLY understand the questions, he just happens to be able to repeat some of them...all of this is very confusing.
Sure about that? Look at 1:29. He doesn't understand what the question is, and doesn't seem to realize that his own speech doesn't make sense. His speech is quite fluent, but completely lacking of content.
Since the patient has no difficulties in repeating, this would not be a Wernicke's Aphasia, it resembles most the "Transcortical sensory aphasia", where the brain damage is around the temporal-occipital-parietal junction, located behind Wernicke's area.

@rubertidom People with Wernicke's aphasia are able to speak fluently, they just don't make sense - they speak gibberish.
Wernicke's aphasia usually occurs when there is damage or a lesion on the Wernicke's area of the brain. The Wernicke's area is responsible for comprehending language. And no, I'd imagine they're unaware of their disorder.
Another form of aphasia is called Broca's aphasia. These people speak in very simple, child-like sentences, but their sentences DO make sense.
"Holy Christmas! Around a hundred errmmm, no 40, errr 1+5.... etc"
its kinda funny, but i feel so sorry for people with damage in that area of the brain =( especially when they are very social... can you get it at any time or are you born with it?
Well he may have had a stroke that affected his speech, comprehension, communication, and certain aspects of language. Wernicke's aphasia is mainly caused by a stroke depending on the severity.
The main problem deals with comprehension so reading something, they wouldn't get any of the meaning of it, and writing could very well resemble the speech patterns!
damage to the wernicke's area results in a loss of comprehension of any written or spoken language. He can hear fine, but does not understand anything she is saying. He can repeat questions asked to him, but it is not understood.
he knows that shes hearing other words he laughs when she repeats (end of the football)? he knows shes hearing other words ,, i believe end of the football means tounge
Echolalia I think is correct. But this is not the same as the repetition in transcortical sensory aphasia: this is voluntary and planned rather than adhoc and accidental. I don';t think this man would be able to repeat something if you asked him to. Also i think the discussion below shows how this locationist approach (trying to box people by location of lesion) is of limited use. We use it very rarely in the UK in practice
Hi..i think it is the worng diagnosis- patient has transcortical sensory aphasia and not wernickes .... as repition is preserved...when she says "where do u live" he repeats that
Especially when he's talking about a so-called "football" for his mouth and trying to share what it's like in words like "It (unintelligible), it goes, kicks out or BING or whatever it is", I would never understand what he meant. Someone who's a professional at it would tell me what he's trying to tell us.
Yes, I, too, wish you had this disease. Then you couldn't make comments such as this. Why don't you wish for cancer, too. I bet it's hilarious to watch you get chemo therapy. Well said, troll.
What the hell? Are you a psychopath? Cancer is not funny. People die from cancer. It's no laughing matter. Aphasia on the other hand is not killing people. Just making them talk in funny ways. He's perfectly fine. He's not retarded obviously.
I just can't wrap my head around this. So his perception of reality is normal, aside from understanding and conveying speech? Is this man trying to say something cohesive but it comes out jibberish, or is it jibberish from the beginning?
The patient from the begging is trying to say that he understands her, but when he says "it fires" and "bing" that when he speaks the words get jumbled. I would make the assumption that the pt most likely had a stroke in his supra marginal gyrus or superior temporal gyrus (gen. area).
This can be contrasted with Broca's aphasia which controls motor speech (so the pt understands but can't speak). W. aphasia is a deficit in sensory so the person can speak, but it just comes out weird. When we hear something we incorporate the sound and our brain says this is what the sound means, but in W. aphasia the pt replaces the word with whatever comes into their brain.
There was a HOUSE episode called FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE where a patient talks nonsense after collapsing and hitting his head on the desk. Have you seen the episode?
If all the little children are gonna trust their grandfather suffering from utter confusion such as this, they're gonna end up talking and acting like him not knowing he has a real big problem with language and communication.
@aele123 Likely not. I believe it effects the self monitoring area of the brain so he in fact thinks the person asking the questions has the disorder.
yes there are two types of aphasia, wow, you managed to read the related video's window. impressive. neither wernickes aphasia nor brocas aphasia cause the breakdown of speech comprehension however, so my point still stands
The observance of his actual ability to comprehend is not within the content of this video. Merely repeating the sentences submitted to a subject is more useful in the diagnosis differential between cortical and subcortical aphasias. One subtype of the fluent aphasia we are seeing allows for the repetition of words given to the client. This can occur while the underlying meaning is entirely lost.
Ritezkumar- bullshit. Damage to wernickes area does not destroy speech comprehension. Speech comp. Is produced by patterns of neural activity across the temporal and frontal lobes. Wernickes aphasia is the inability to articulate meaning in otherwise grammatical speech
Wernickes aphasia is a neurological disorder which effects written/spoken comprehension, so if someone with aphasia would hear something; what comes in one ear goes out the other; they can't answer questions properly because they may take things literally/and or not understand what is being said. As for written language, they can't read or understand what is being read (they can't decode meaning or find cues to the hidden text; also they can't read print or anything; this however varies on sev.
kramer, Wernicke's area is in the posterior temporal lobe. Comprehension in Wernicke's aphasia is "poor" according to the Bear, Connors, and Paradiso textboook. However, written language is easier for the afflicted people to understand than spoken language.
wernicke's aphasia is the one that DOES affect speech comprehension, thus making him unable to organize words. as oppose to broca's aphasia where the patient is able to understand but is unable to speak
man he's trying so hard to tell her that what he's thinking of saying is not what is actually coming out of his mouth. all that " there here and then, bing, out. but in here, is mefel and not and when it comes out is mess." or whatever.
i don't think this is wernicke's aphasia. wernicke's patient cannot comprehend . they have defective repition also. tghis pt is able to understand the girls question he even repeats the question. where do u live?
I agree with you on this, you're right about him not answering the questions right man, he repeats it because his language comprehension is damaged, aphasia is similar to autism (he uses echolalia) because they both mimic each other in ways the only difference is autism is not brain damage while aphasia is. Also his comprehension is similar to someone who is autistic, it's because autism and aphasia are the same except there is some differences not many.
You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
No worry, forum read that anyone has ever been far really even as decided to use go want do look more like for more than even go want more decided young girl sexual intercourse became.
receptive Dysphasia:(posterior or Wernike's aphasia)
there is difficulty in undrestanding the spoken and written words while speech may be fleunt and grammatical with normal articulation.however, it may lack meaning with inapprpriate words or phrases (paraphasia) or new words (neologism).visit my blog for more.
Whoever that lady is, she is a terrible communicator to the point of cruelty. Why would you ask contentful questions like that when you can expect the other person won't be able to answer them? And when he does manage to express himself with words stored deeper and closer to strong emotions, she insists on focusing on the words he has no control over. Surely someone somewhere has developed a communication method for people in his situation?!

Brain damage to Wernicke's area, in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus
imthemoonme 1 year ago
Well he may have had a stroke that affected his speech, comprehension, communication, and certain aspects of language. Wernicke's aphasia is mainly caused by a stroke depending on the severity.

So can they write or read?
CLPHONG 1 year ago
The main problem deals with comprehension so reading something, they wouldn't get any of the meaning of it, and writing could very well resemble the speech patterns!

Should rename it to Parrot syndrome

@Some1shouldstabu
with wernicke's you have poor auditory comprehension and poor repetition skills so parrot syndrome isn't a good name
MEGHANBIRD2009 1 year ago
damage to the wernicke's area results in a loss of comprehension of any written or spoken language. He can hear fine, but does not understand anything she is saying. He can repeat questions asked to him, but it is not understood.

Echolalia I think is correct. But this is not the same as the repetition in transcortical sensory aphasia: this is voluntary and planned rather than adhoc and accidental. I don';t think this man would be able to repeat something if you asked him to. Also i think the discussion below shows how this locationist approach (trying to box people by location of lesion) is of limited use. We use it very rarely in the UK in practice

Hi..i think it is the worng diagnosis- patient has transcortical sensory aphasia and not wernickes .... as repition is preserved...when she says "where do u live" he repeats that

Especially when he's talking about a so-called "football" for his mouth and trying to share what it's like in words like "It (unintelligible), it goes, kicks out or BING or whatever it is", I would never understand what he meant. Someone who's a professional at it would tell me what he's trying to tell us.

I just can't wrap my head around this. So his perception of reality is normal, aside from understanding and conveying speech? Is this man trying to say something cohesive but it comes out jibberish, or is it jibberish from the beginning?
Dooality 2 years ago
The patient from the begging is trying to say that he understands her, but when he says "it fires" and "bing" that when he speaks the words get jumbled. I would make the assumption that the pt most likely had a stroke in his supra marginal gyrus or superior temporal gyrus (gen. area).
mentality317 2 years ago
(sp) "from the beginning" sorry
mentality317 2 years ago
This can be contrasted with Broca's aphasia which controls motor speech (so the pt understands but can't speak). W. aphasia is a deficit in sensory so the person can speak, but it just comes out weird. When we hear something we incorporate the sound and our brain says this is what the sound means, but in W. aphasia the pt replaces the word with whatever comes into their brain.

@aele123 Likely not. I believe it effects the self monitoring area of the brain so he in fact thinks the person asking the questions has the disorder.

maybe he has transcortical sensory aphasia? which is wernicke's aphasia with the exception that the ability to repeat words is spared.

wernicke's aphasia is also called comprehension aphasia so it does cause problems with language comprehension, but does not disrupt fluency
swiftedg 2 years ago
yes there are two types of aphasia, wow, you managed to read the related video's window. impressive. neither wernickes aphasia nor brocas aphasia cause the breakdown of speech comprehension however, so my point still stands
kramer999999999 2 years ago
The observance of his actual ability to comprehend is not within the content of this video. Merely repeating the sentences submitted to a subject is more useful in the diagnosis differential between cortical and subcortical aphasias. One subtype of the fluent aphasia we are seeing allows for the repetition of words given to the client. This can occur while the underlying meaning is entirely lost.

Ritezkumar- bullshit. Damage to wernickes area does not destroy speech comprehension. Speech comp. Is produced by patterns of neural activity across the temporal and frontal lobes. Wernickes aphasia is the inability to articulate meaning in otherwise grammatical speech

Wernickes aphasia is a neurological disorder which effects written/spoken comprehension, so if someone with aphasia would hear something; what comes in one ear goes out the other; they can't answer questions properly because they may take things literally/and or not understand what is being said. As for written language, they can't read or understand what is being read (they can't decode meaning or find cues to the hidden text; also they can't read print or anything; this however varies on sev.
maxglobz 2 years ago
kramer, Wernicke's area is in the posterior temporal lobe. Comprehension in Wernicke's aphasia is "poor" according to the Bear, Connors, and Paradiso textboook. However, written language is easier for the afflicted people to understand than spoken language.

wernicke's aphasia is the one that DOES affect speech comprehension, thus making him unable to organize words. as oppose to broca's aphasia where the patient is able to understand but is unable to speak

man he's trying so hard to tell her that what he's thinking of saying is not what is actually coming out of his mouth. all that " there here and then, bing, out. but in here, is mefel and not and when it comes out is mess." or whatever.
kramer999999999 2 years ago
i don't think this is wernicke's aphasia. wernicke's patient cannot comprehend . they have defective repition also. tghis pt is able to understand the girls question he even repeats the question. where do u live?
ritezkumar 2 years ago
I agree with you on this, you're right about him not answering the questions right man, he repeats it because his language comprehension is damaged, aphasia is similar to autism (he uses echolalia) because they both mimic each other in ways the only difference is autism is not brain damage while aphasia is. Also his comprehension is similar to someone who is autistic, it's because autism and aphasia are the same except there is some differences not many.

receptive Dysphasia:(posterior or Wernike's aphasia)
there is difficulty in undrestanding the spoken and written words while speech may be fleunt and grammatical with normal articulation.however, it may lack meaning with inapprpriate words or phrases (paraphasia) or new words (neologism).visit my blog for more.
