Reproduction conduction aphasia is a phonological output impairment where all phonological output modalities are impaired, errors are phonologically related and longer words are harder than short. An understanding of the way in which phonological errors are generated should therefore give us information about phonological encoding, as well suggesting appropriate remediation.
5 individuals with conduction aphasia are given a list of words for repetition on two separate occasions. Errors are transcribed and the data is analysed according to a range of theories, namely interactive accounts predicting lexical mediation, phonological processing theories and phonological encoding constraints
