Associative aphasia, also referred to as conductive aphasia, is a type of language disorder characterized by the loss of language skills, including comprehension and/or speech production. In individuals with associative aphasia, comprehension abilities remain intact, and they can write and speak. However, they struggle with the repetition of spoken words and are unable to read aloud. This condition arises due to localized brain damage, often resulting from a stroke or other traumatic events affecting specific brain areas responsible for language processing.
