Abstract
The study is a psycholinguistics study which aims at explaining the process of comprehension and its connection with Alzheimer. It also investigates the impairment in comprehension which is caused by Alzheimer. To elaborate more, the part of the brain which is responsible for comprehending the spoken language is exposed by a figure. The research postulates as well how this process differs in those suffering from Alzheimer with the normal people in the process of comprehension. The work concludes that those suffering from damaged brain in the part responsible for comprehension (Wernicke’s area) face problems in the comprehension skill and they cannot communicate in an appropriate way which causes the sufferers finally to be disconnected to society and daily communications.
