Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking the person to point to an object on a table can be a good way to test speech comprehension in Wernicke's aphasia as it assesses the ability to understand and follow simple commands. Asking the person to use content or function words may not be as effective as they may have difficulty understanding the meaning of individual words. Asking about childhood memories may not directly assess speech comprehension, and asking the person to read a book may not be possible if they have difficulty with reading comprehension due to their language impairment.
