| Definition |
The impaired ability to name objects or retrieve words. Anomia refers to a pathological word-finding difficulty rather than normal word-finding or vocabulary limitations. The term “anomia” is also used to characterize word-finding difficulty in spontaneous speech.
The impaired ability to name objects or retrieve words. Anomia refers to a pathological word-finding difficulty rather than normal word-finding difficulties or vocabulary limitations. Anomia has been historically associated with lesions of the temporal-parietal junction. It is, however, present to varying degrees with all forms of aphasia, and by itself generally has little localizing significance. Anomia is often assessed through visual object confrontation although the term “anomia” is also used to characterize word-finding difficulty in spontaneous speech. These two types of word-finding difficulty, however, are dissociable.

As they go on, they will often get further from the target - or at least no doser. In addition, Kohn shows that the Wernicke´s are poorer at utilizing phonemic cuing, and they reveal little if any ´tip-of-the-tongue´ information for the sought after target. To this I would only add that the Wernicke´s often recover to an anomia, which implies that they had had anomia all along. Theirs is, accordingly, a problem with accessing underlying forms. Conduction aphasics demonstrate through greater agreement in their errors with the overall underlying shapes of words that theirs is not one of word access, but rather one ofconstructing phonemic strings, which can be characterized in terms of scan copying, etc.
