Phonological agraphia is a type of writing disorder where individuals struggle to spell words phonetically. This condition often affects people who have damage to specific areas of the brain, such as the left hemisphere responsible for language processing. As a result, they may find it difficult to write unfamiliar words or non-words, relying instead on memorized spellings. Individuals with phonological agraphia can usually write familiar words correctly but may make errors when attempting to spell new or complex terms. This condition is often associated with other language disorders, such as aphasia, which can further complicate communication and writing abilities.
