What is another word for conduction aphasia?
Pronunciation: [kəndˈʌkʃən ɐfˈe͡ɪzi͡ə] (IPA) 
Conduction aphasia, also known as associative aphasia, is a neurological disorder characterized by the inability to repeat spoken words or phrases. It occurs due to damage in the arcuate fasciculus, a white matter tract that connects the Broca's and Wernicke's areas of the brain. The condition is often confused with other types of aphasia, such as expressive and receptive, which affect different language functions. Synonyms for conduction aphasia include phonemic paraphasia, digit span disorder, and conduction dysphasia. Symptoms may also include word-finding difficulties, reading and writing impairments, and poor verbal fluency. Speech therapy and other rehabilitation techniques can help improve communication abilities and overall quality of life for individuals with conduction aphasia.
