Mixed transcortical aphasia results in a speech pattern characterized by the inability to speak or comprehend others when they speak. However, with mixed transcortical aphasia, it is usually possible to repeat words or sentences and sing familiar songs. In this rare type of aphasia, the main areas of language (Broca's and Wernicke's) are not typically damaged, but the surrounding areas, also known as the language association areas, are injured.

Key term(s)
