Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by fluent speech, but poor comprehension. Global aphasia is characterized by comprehension deficits and non-fluent speech. Transcortical Motor Aphasia is similar to Broca's aphasia except the ability to repeat is intact. Transcortical Sensory Aphasia is similar to Wernicke's aphasia but the ability to repeat spoken language is spared. Conduction aphasia is also known as disconnection syndrome because it is a lesion that disconnects Broca's area from Wernicke's area via the arcuate fasciculus and is characterized by a comparatively reduced ability to repeat spoken language.
Anomic aphasia is characterized by an inability to come up with the names of common objects.
