Ictal Pure Word Deafness with Auditory Hallucination
Pure word deafness is a disorder of auditory verbal comprehension without dysfunction of speaking, reading, or writing. This rare symptom arises from bilateral lesions in the temporal lobes or disconnection between the primary auditory cortex and Wernicke’s area. I present a right-handed 33-year-old woman who presented with pure word deafness and complex auditory hallucination with intermittent...
متن کاملWord deafness in Wernicke's aphasia.
Three patients with otherwise typical Wernicke's aphasia showed consistent superiority of visual over auditory comprehension. The precedents for and anatomical basis of a selective auditory deficit in Wernicke's aphasia are discussed, including the relationship to pure word deafness. One implication of spared visual language function may be the use of gesture in language therapy for such patients.
متن کاملModality independence of word comprehension.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the functional anatomy of word comprehension in the auditory and visual modalities of presentation. We asked our subjects to determine if word pairs were semantically associated (e.g., table, chair) and compared this to a reference task where they were asked to judge whether word pairs rhymed (e.g., bank, tank). This comparison sh...
متن کاملSpared Priming Despite Impaired Comprehension: Implicit Memory in a Case of Word-Meaning Deafness
Previous research has established that direct priming effects on implicit memory tests can be dissociated from explicit remembering. Evidence from studies of college students suggests that priming on various implicit tests can be characterized as a presemantic phenomenon: Priming can occur at full strength following nonsemantic encoding tasks that typically produce low levels of explicit memory...
متن کاملWord Deafness and Auditory Cortical Function
A patient who already had Wernicke's aphasia due to a left temporal lobe lesion suffered a severe deterioration specifically of auditory language comprehension, subsequent to right temporal lobe infarction. A detailed comparison of his new condition with his language status before the second stroke revealed that the newly acquired deficit was limited to tasks related to auditory input. Further ...
