People with a lesion in this area of the brain develop receptive aphasia, a condition in which there is a major impairment of language comprehension, while speech retains a natural-sounding rhythm and a relatively normal sentence structure.

One boy in particular influenced Ault greatly . " Tom " was 14 and had suffered whooping cough at a young age that had left him with severe expressive-receptive aphasia; it left him without the ability to understand or speak language.

However, the key deficits of receptive aphasia do not come from damage to Wernicke's area; While Wernicke's area is the site of language recognition, perception, interpretations, and understanding, that does not mean that it is wholly responsible for the comprehension of semantic meaning.

He was the first to distinguish the various aphasias in an anatomical framework, and proposed that a disconnection between the two speech systems ( motor and sensory ) would lead to a unique condition, distinct from both expressive and receptive aphasias, which he termed " Leitungsaphasie ".

Both expressive and receptive aphasia also affect the use of sign language, in analogous ways to how they affect speech, with expressive aphasia causing signers to sign slowly and with incorrect grammar, whereas a signer with receptive aphasia will sign fluently, but make little sense to others and have difficulties comprehending others'signs.

A patient with receptive aphasia cannot correct his own phonetics errors and shows " anger and disappointment with the person with whom s / he is speaking because that person fails to understand her / him .
