Dr. IV on Aphasia

Dr. IV Mirus gives insights on aphasia, the disorder that actor Bruce WIllis was diagnosed with. The disease attacks the brain’s language processing center. Hearing people will find it difficult to speak or to understand speech, while deaf people experience similar difficulties, but with using ASL or understanding ASL.

As a mostly hearing person learning sign, I've been constantly recognizing better connections between my brain and the rest of me, in all areas, thinking, precision of motion, reflexes, remembering and connecting words and concepts, it's like it's strengthening my existing language abilities on top of adding new ways of expressing/communicating~

Hello. I have aphasia and am deaf from Norway.

[@lilyc3466]

I remember in a cognitive processes class in college, we talked about the parts of the brain (such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area as you mentioned) and also talked about how hearing people have an inner voice and people who use ASL have an inner hand. I'm trying to find the study, but the general gist was that people had to remember a list of random words. For the first part of the study, the researchers recited a list of words to hearing people and then had the people recite them back. Then, they gave the hearing people a different set of words, but made them say a sound like "ba" over and over to disrupt their inner voice while they were trying to remember the words. The people who had their inner voice disrupted performed much more poorly than they originally did when it was not. Then, the same procedure was done on people who used sign (with the words being signed to the participants). To block their inner hand, instead of having them say a sound, they had to open and close their hands while receiving the list of signed words. This was found to have the same effect as the hearing people saying "ba". It is cool to see how even though language is displayed differently in people, it is still the same internal functions at work!
