respond to this: Wernicke's Aphasia Videos

Video 1, at 0:10-0:30: Right away, we see that the man speaks fluently and almost normally, but there is a lack of meaningful content, thus producing jargon. The lecture's description of Wernicke's aphasia, which is characterized by fluent speaking with reduced comprehension, is seen here based on the man's behavior.
Video 2, at 0:18: Here, again we see right away, the woman demonstrates paraphasia by substituting words with similar-sounding ones. For example, she replaces "caterpillar" with "callerp". This fits with how Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by word replacement errors, which was also discussed in the lecture. 
Video 2, at about 0:38: We see that the woman tries (and does succeed somewhat the first two times) but after (at about 0:40) she fails to understand simple commands and questions. This aligns with the lecture's description of impaired comprehension.
Video 1, at 0:52: Here, we see how the man appears to be unaware of his speech problems, which is consistent with Wernicke's aphasia and suggests that he lacks understanding of his language deficiencies.
Video 2, at 0:10: Throughout this video, the woman produces neologisms, where she creates her own words that don't make sense. Based on the lecture, we see that this is an indication of impaired word retrieval and formation.
Broca's Aphasia Videos 

Video 3, at 0:08: Here we meet Sarah Scott who has trouble speaking, uttering short, halting sentences with difficulty. She has difficulty remembering her name, age, and other words; however, she does know what happened to her, and when she is asked, she answers immediately. This is consistent with the lecture's description of non-fluent speech that is impeded in expressiveness, which is a feature of Broca's aphasia.
Video 3, at 0:45: Here, Sarah demonstrates telegraphic speech, which is typical of Broca's aphasia and lacks function words and complicated grammar. Overall, she struggles with this throughout the video. 
Video 4, at 0:20: Thirteen years later, we now see that Sarah has gained significant improvement in her speech fluency and articulation. However, her speech is still non-fluent and full of effort, which is a symptom of Broca's aphasia that is consistent with the lecture's description of slow, laborious speech.
Video 4, at 1:20: Sarah demonstrates articulatory groping and difficulty producing certain sounds, which aligns with the lecture's explanation of speech apraxia frequently coexisting with Broca's aphasia.
Video 4, at 6:40: At this point, I noticed that Sarah has had difficulty remembering specific things, especially numbers and times in the past. For example, towards the beginning, she forgot the number 12 when counting, and here she is having trouble recalling when her and her fiancé got engaged. This is consistent with the lecture's description of short-term memory deficits that are apart of Broca's aphasia.
 

Reflection on Sarah's Improvement:

From the first nine-month video to her most current update, I think that Sarah has made astonishing improvement. To start out the way she did and to be so young; it must have been discouraging to communicate with others and even live a regular life. Her recovery of some fluency and articulation in spite of ongoing difficulties is evidence of the brain's amazing adaptability and ability to heal after a stroke. Her perseverance in overcoming the communication obstacles caused by her aphasia is so amazing, and I hope that she is proud of how far she has come. answering these question: Choose 2 behaviors from each list that your classmate generated--two should come from the Wernicke's list and two should come from the Broca's list.  Watch the video clips that your classmate identified and look for the behaviors they described.  For each of the four behaviors, indicate whether you agree or disagree with your classmate's assessment.  Is there an alternative explanation for this behavior?  Is this behavior consistent with Broca's or Wernicke's aphasia?  Explain your reasoning.
Read your classmate's Reflection on Sarah Scott's recovery.  Did you have similar thoughts to those of your classmate or did you write about something different in your reflection?  Briefly explain those similarities or differences.
