Question

multiple choice 1 point
doris has recently had a stroke that affect her frontal lobe. as a result, she immediately repeats words people are saying, though she does this unintentionally and has trouble stopping herself from doing this behavior. doris is exhibiting:
visual impairment.
direct matching.
meaningless gestures.
echolalia.

Explanation:

Echolalia is the immediate repetition of words or phrases spoken by others, which matches Doris's behavior of repeating what people say right after they speak. Visual impairment relates to vision issues (not relevant here). Direct matching is not a term for this behavior. Meaningless gestures involve movements, not speech repetition. So the correct answer is echolalia.

Answer:

D. echolalia.
