Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to Wernicke's area results in difficulty in understanding language, also known as receptive aphasia or Wernicke's aphasia. The individual may produce speech that is fluent and grammatically correct, but lacks meaning or makes little sense. Difficulty in identifying non-language sounds is not typically associated with damage to this area. Genetic dysphasia is not a known condition.
