After Paul's serious snow-skiing accident, doctors detected damage to his cerebral cortex in Wernicke's area. Because of the damage, is Paul is most likely to experience difficulty with communication or with his memory?

Answer 1

Types of Aphasia

One of the two regions of the cerebral cortex associated with speech is the Wernicke's speech area, which plays a role in both spoken and written language production.

In the event that damage occurs, a person's language and speech will be greatly hindered, including...

comprehension through hearing

spoken expression

The person's intelligence is unaffected by difficulties, which can range from sometimes having trouble pronouncing words to losing the ability to speak, read, or write.
