Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by fluent speech that lacks meaning (often referred to as "word salad"), difficulty in understanding language, and often impairment in writing due to the inability to understand language properly. Speech conduction impairment is not a feature of Wernicke's aphasia; it is more associated with conduction aphasia, where there is a specific difficulty in repeating words or phrases despite relatively preserved understanding and speech production.
