Disorders of Memory and Language [WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapters 13 and 14 of your course text. For this discussion, the class is divided into two groups.

Group 1 (Last Name Starting with the letters A through M)

This group will focus on the symptoms of aphasia for your initial discussion post. Each member of the group should pick one type of aphasia (e.g., Wernicke’s aphasia, conduction aphasia, anomic aphasia, etc.) and describe the symptoms, underlying brain structures involved, and at least one common etiology. Your discussion should also include at least one peer-reviewed article on some type of research study involving the type of aphasia you have chosen. To assist you with your research consider using the library’s Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) tip sheet.

Group 2 (Last name starting with the letter N through Z)

This group will focus on memory and, similar to Group 1, each member of the group should pick one type of memory impairment to discuss. Each student should pick a unique type. Describe the symptoms, the mechanisms in the brain that are involved, and most common etiologies. Your discussion should also include at least one original peer-reviewed research study involving the memory impairment you have chosen. To assist you with your research consider using the library’s Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) tip sheet.
