I'm struggling to get my head around association areas and the different association areas in the cerebral cortex lobes and was wondering if anyone would be able to elaborate and explain what association areas and the different ones in the four lobes are? - Sorry if this is a bit vague!! :)

Ok so I'll try my best
Association area are in all four lobes of the brain. They integrate info from other lobes and allow for higher order mental functions such as thinking and learning. Association areas in the parietal lobe will have a role in spatial reasoning and attention. Association area visual in the occipital lobe will interact with the visual cortex in each occipital lobe to integrate visual info with memory, language and sounds (from other lobes) to give meaning to visual info.
This is all explained better in the Grivas textbook

Does damage to Wernicke area impair fluency of speech as well as understanding the meaning of speech?

Speech would still be fluent albeit nonsensical.

Are Broca's and Wernicke's areas classed as association areas?

I dont believe so.
How does one diagnose Broca's aphasia? Does a neurologist simply ask the patient a question and if they have difficulty speaking, diagnose it as Broca's Aphasia?
