Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lucy's symptoms suggest that she is experiencing aphasia, which is a language disorder resulting from damage to the brain. Difficulty with naming is a common symptom of aphasia. Agnosia is a perceptual disorder, palilalia is characterized by the repetition of one's own words, and echolalia is the repetition of another person's words. None of these fit Lucy's symptoms as well as aphasia does.
