Verbal repetition performance was analyzed in four individuals with conduction aphasia. Comparisons at the sentence level included novel versus self-generated, conceptually chained utterances, and spontaneous, narrative utterances versus their repetition. No significant differences were found; however, repetition of self-generated utterances was superior to novel utterances for most subjects. For three speakers, repetition of their own utterances did not show decline relative to spontaneous speech. Error analysis of original and repeated productions showed that speakers produced more instances of preliminary speech efforts and word and sound level errors in repetition. Discussion includes comments on assessment and treatment implications.
Key Words: conduction aphasia, verbal repetition, language pathology
