This shows that conduction aphasia must reflect an impairment of the ventral pathway but instead of the dorsal pathway.

Conduction aphasia is a relatively mild language impairment, and most patients return to day-to-day life.
13.
The brain damage causing conduction aphasia is often from a stroke, which can produce both localized and widespread damage.
14.
Conduction aphasia is another speech disorder that is similar to, but not the same as, apraxia of speech.
15.
Individuals with conduction aphasia are able to express themselves fairly well, with some word finding difficulty, and functional comprehension.
16.
Patients with conduction aphasia typically have good language comprehension, but poor speech repetition and mild difficulty with word retrieval and speech production.
17.
There have been no known autopsy cases in which conduction aphasia was shown to be the result of a focused arcuate fasciculus lesion.
18.
Patients with conduction aphasia are typically able to speak fluently, but they do not have the ability to repeat what they hear.
19.
Hickok and Poeppel found that conduction aphasia can be the result of damage, particularly lesions, to the Spt ( Sylvian parietal temporal ).
20.
Although patients who suffer from conduction aphasia have full comprehension of speech, as do AOS sufferers, there are differences between the two disorders.
