Q

Transcoritcal sensory aphasia is a language disorder with what symptoms:

A

Fluent spontaneous speech but poor comprehension

24
Q

Which is not true of Word Meaning Deafness:

a) Can’t distinguish word from non-word
b) Can’t understand what a word means but can repeat and write it
c) Copes by writing down what was said and then reads it

A

a) Can distinguish word from non-word

25
Q

Name the four areas of the temporal lobe?

A
  1. Primary auditory cortex
  2. Secondary auditory cortex also called associative cortical cortex
  3. Median gyrus
  4. Inferior temporal area
26
Q

Damage to the primary auditory cortex will result in ———

A

Cortical deafness

27
Q

Which area of the temporal lobe is involved in language?

A

Associative cortical cortex

28
Q

Damage to the inferior temporal cortex would affect the amygdala, hippocampus and the cortex areas around the hippocampus thus disrupting ————- and —————

A

Memory, Personality

29
Q

List at least three functions of the temporal lobe?

A
  1. Personality and emotion
  2. Lexical memory
  3. Language comprejension
30
Q

What are the functions of the left hemisphere?

A

Left hemisphere is responsible for verbal memory, speech, speech comprehension, and speech produciton

31
Q

What are the functions of the Right hemisphere?

A

RIght hemisphere is responsible for facial expressions, visual pattern recognition, music, and prosody

32
Q

An individual having a stroke in the primary temporal lobe will have a hard time processing any kind of sounds. (True or False)

A

True

33
Q

The associative cortex gets its oxygen supply from ——————- artery?

A

Middle cerebral artery

34
Q

Why does an individual experience language disorder after a stroke?

A

Since the majority of strokes occurs in the middle cerebral artery which is the oxygen supplier of associative cortex, a clot in that artery would cut the oxygen supply to the associative cortex which is responsible for language thus leading to language disorder

35
Q

A stroke patient reports that “everyone speaks very fast”. What could we conclude in regards to the location of the stroke based on the patient’s complaint?

A

We can conclude that the patient had a stroke in their left hemisphere.

36
Q

Define a formant?

A

Formant is the initial spectral peak of the sound spectrum

37
Q

What is the typical length of formants in our language?

A

40 ms

38
Q

Will An individual who had a stroke in the Left hemisphere be able to differentiate Bah from Dah?

A

No, because the cortex will be struggling to distinguish the early formants transitions and pick out those little consonant sounds from the “ah” that follows.

39
Q

Damage to the Right hemisphere will affect ——————–

a) visual acuity
b) Balance
c) music perception
d) Depth perception

A

C) Music perception

40
Q

what condition has trouble pronouncing a new word?

A

auditory phonological agnosia

41
Q

in which condition is the person able to read aloud and write but has trouble pronouncing new words?

A

auditory phonological agnosia

42
Q

semantic anomia is using word substitutions that shows evidence of selection problems. True or false?

A

true

43
Q

name the two types of anomia.

A

a. semantic anomia

b. selection anomia

44
Q

neologisms is a symptom of wernicke’s aphasia neologistic jargonphasia. true or false

A

true

45
Q

a patient with wernicke’s aphasia neologistic jargonphasia can read, sort words by meaning and knows their sentences are nonsense

A

false

46
Q

which condition involves making semantic errors when reading and not being able to read nonwords?

A

deep aphasia

47
Q

repetition of abstract words is more difficult in deep aphasia. true or false

A

true

48
Q

what are signs of broca’s aphasia?

A

a. grammatical errors in speech
b. telegraphic pattern
c. comprehension syntax problems

49
Q

in broca’s aphasia a telegraphic pattern involves having trouble with both noun and verb. true or false

A

true

50
Q

in conduction aphasia damage to the brain occurs in what areas?

A

in the arcuate fasiculus that connects wernicke and broca’s area.

51
Q

a patient with what type of aphasia understands what they hear but cant repeat it?

A

conduction aphasia

52
Q

prosody area is typically found only in the right hemisphere. true of false

A

true

53
Q

stress patterns on syllables, pauses, and affective expression are signs of damage in prosody skills? true or false

A

true

54
Q

the patient in the video on slide 29 had damage to what part of the brain and which process did it affect?

A

damage in the left hemisphere which processes language

55
Q

the video showed how damage in wernicke’s area can lead to problems in hearing and understanding what someone has just told you. true or false

A

true
