Anomic Aphasia

A mild aphasia marked by significant difficulty with word retrieval, while comprehension and grammatical skills are relatively preserved.

Wernicke's Aphasia

A fluent aphasia where patients produce grammatically correct but nonsensical speech. Comprehension is significantly impaired.

Conduction Aphasia

A fluent aphasia where patients struggle with repetition despite good comprehension and relatively intact speech production.
