Conduction aphasia, also called associative aphasia, is an acquired language disorder, most commonly caused by left-hemisphere cerebrovascular injury. It is characterized by fluent, grammatically correct speech with frequent phonemic paraphasias and a disproportionately severe impairment of verbatim repetition (difficulty repeating words, nonwords, and sentences) despite relatively preserved auditory comprehension.
