[69] Anomic aphasia is the aphasial presentation of tumors in the language zone; it is the aphasial presentation of Alzheimer's disease. [70] Anomic aphasia is the mildest form of aphasia, indicating a likely possibility for better recovery.
Researchers have developed an AI tool that can predict with nearly 80% accuracy whether someone is at risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease based on their speech patterns.
A third variant of primary progressive aphasia, LPA was then added, [15] and is an atypical form of Alzheimer's disease. For PNFA, the core criteria for diagnosis include agrammatism and slow and labored speech. Inconsistent speech sound errors are also very common, including distortions, deletions, and insertions.
