Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
researchers have recognized the impact of physiological changes to the brain on the function of language. Language impairments, researchers have argued, can be caused by physiological changes that result
from stroke or damage to brain cells, including substaintial cell necrosis. Brocas aphasia is one form of language impairment that has been related to specific changes as a result
of stroke, and information in the current literature reflects a comparative view of Brocas aphasia, Wernicke aphasia and global aphasia, especially as these different conditions impact language functioning. In
understanding the problematic nature of Brocas aphasia, which primarily impacts expressive language function, it is necessary to understand the nature of aphasia, the pathophysiology of aphasia in general, and
the differing perspectives on Brocas aphasia, Wernicke aphasia and global aphasia as they shape the treatment options for each condition. The current research reflects differeing perspectives on the approaches
to treatment relates to the type of aphasia and the impacts on expressive language, interpretive language function and memory. General View of Aphasia and Brocas Aphasia
Of the over 33 million adults in the United States who are over the age of 65, approximately 20% suffer from some form of speech
or language disorder that prevents them form expressing themselves or limits their ability to understand what other are telling them (Mandel, Shulman and Begany, 1997). Figures suggest that the
population of elderly in the United States could exceed 35 million by the year 2000, suggesting that the problems related to speech disorders will also rise significantly in the coming
years (Mandel, Shulman and Begany, 1997). Aphasia is one of the three most significant speech and language processing conditions related to the decline in communication capacity for the emerging
