| Definition |
Fluent aphasia with frequent semantic (verbal) paraphasias. Language comprehension, naming and repetition are severely impaired.
Fluent aphasia with frequent semantic (verbal) paraphasias. Language comprehension and repetition are severely impaired. Naming is impaired, and in contrast to Broca’s aphasia, prompting provides little benefit. Lesions usually involve the posterior-superior portion of the dominant hemisphere temporal lobe. The lesions are generally vascular.

| Context |
Direct observations of auditory comprehension deficiency reveal the primary symptoms of a Wernicke´s aphasia. Other symptoms of this disorder are the secondary effects of the primary breakdown; secondary effects in Wernicke´s aphasia include repetition failures, lack of awareness of jargon, reading deficits, and possibly, the jargon itself. Secondary symptoms appear because a single component of the cognitive basis for language function, however defined, interacts with all other components in the use of language.
