| Context |
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Gesner was the first to advance a theory of the nature of aphasic disorders in terms of "speech amnesia." In discussing jargonaphasia, he insisted that it did not signify a dementia but only a specific type of forgetting. He pointed out that ideation and the memory for words must be distinguished from each other. Ideation is evoked by the perception of physical objects and the action of the sensory nerves.
