| 1. | These tests are capable of identifying conduction aphasia with relative accuracy.
|
| 2. | Conduction aphasia is caused by damage to the arcuate fasciculus.
|
| 3. | Patients with conduction aphasia are typically aware of their errors.
|
| 4. | However, chronic conduction aphasia is possible, without transformation to other aphasias.
|
| 5. | Conduction aphasia is caused by damage to the parietal lobe of the brain.
|
| 6. | Conduction aphasia can also be seen in cases of cortical damage without subcortical extensions.
|
| 7. | However, conduction aphasia remains a controversial topic from the understanding of its neurologic foundations.
|
| 8. | The Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind disconnection hypothesis thus became the prevailing explanation for conduction aphasia.
|
| 9. | Traumatic brain injury and tumors can also lead to localized lesions, with potential to cause conduction aphasia.
|
| 10. | However, conduction aphasia is a mild aphasia, and conduction aphasics score highly on the WAB at baseline.
