HM Epilepsy treatment Anterograde amnesia Long-term explicit memory deficits Short-term intact “You just remember 8. You see 5, 8, 4 add to 17. You remember 8; subtract from 17 and it leaves 9. Divide 9 by half and you get 5 and 4, and there you are – 584.”

Aphasia Definition Left hemisphere Causes History

Broca’s/nonfluent aphasia Characteristics Anomia Short sentences Language comprehension Broca’s area Theories of function
Slide 9-

Broca’s/nonfluent aphasia “I asked Mr. Ford about his work before he entered the hospital. ‘I’m a sig… no… man… uh, well,… again.” These words were emitted slowly, and with great effort. The sounds were not clearly articulated; each syllable was uttered harshly, explosively, in a throaty voice. With practice, it was possible to understand him, but at first I encountered considerable difficulty with this. ‘Let me help you,’ I interjected. ‘You were a signal…” ‘A signal man… right,’ ‘Were you in the Coast Guard?’ ‘No, er, yes, yes... Ship… Massachu… chusetts… Coastguard… years.’ He raised his hands twice, indicating the number 19.
