38Deficit to lesion:
Impaired sentence comprehension= [blank_start]anterior superior temporal gyrus[blank_end]
Recurring utterances= [blank_start]arcuate fasciculus[blank_end]

- Barcuate fasciculus
- Canterior superior temporal gyrus
39What are the implications of Dronkers, Redfern, & Knight (2000)?
- APeople with the syndrome might not always have the same symptoms as each other
- BSame symptom can have different causes
- CClassical syndrome labels are limited
- DConduction aphasia is more common than previously thought
- EConduction aphasia explains the number of people with Wernicke's aphasia without lesions to Wernicke's area
40Same symptom can have different causes, eg difficulty repeating:
[blank_start]Broca's aphasia[blank_end] = know what they want to say, but it takes a lot of effort to get it out
[blank_start]Conduction aphasia[blank_end]= can't transfer the info from auditory processing to language production- ABroca's aphasia
- BConduction aphasia
41What are some problems with classical aphasia theory?
- ADefinitions of these classical syndromes might not match the symptoms of the original cases
