An Example of Receptive Aphasia:


This is an example of an adult with Receptive Aphasia speaking . She has difficulty in understaning what is being said to her, but notice that she speaks fluently. The difficulty, however, with receptive aphasia is that the speaker has little comprehension of what she is saying herself! She assumes that she said what she intended to say, but due to the lack of feedback, she is often unaware that her speech has degenerated seriously.

(Please note, that the reason our examples are from adults and not from children is because it is difficult sometimes, because of the many varialbes associated with growth, to know how a child should sound. But we all know how an adult should sound. Hence the impact of the disabled process on adult speech is crystal clear.)
