When a lesion occurs in one of the areas of the brain in the speech zone in which the requisite memories of words seen or heard have their seat as when a ball player is struck over the sight centre in the back of the head special forms of sensory aphasia show themselves.
I had the satisfaction of feeling that he was disturbed by my gaze, and that he knew, even when not looking, that my eyes were on him. Sometimes in the midst of talk he would break down and forget what he had meant to say next. I affected him with a kind of aphasia, erasing the words he wanted from his brain. But otherwise my tactics were changed. I was no longer rude to my future brother-in-law.
She can read whatever is written, there is no difficulty in the recognition of objects, no evidence of any aphasia whatever. The diagnosis hysteria can hardly be doubted.
The possibly pictorial method of presentation of proper names would greatly add to the difficulty, as we have seen, and would be liable to lead to misrepresentation and error.
