      Hi Chrissy,

      Could you explain the difference between Wernicke’s Aphasia (fluent aphasia) and language of confusion? In the hospital I work in, SLPs are at times referring to language of confusion, which is maybe more confabulatory than inappropriate words put together? I know that “language of confusion” isn’t in the powerpoints but wanted to get a better understanding for clinic use as well.

      Thanks!

      Kelly

      I think language of confusion refers more to cognitive impairment than language impairment. Confabulatory is a good word for language of confusion (think patients with dementia).
