Intro to Psycholinguistics Flashcards
What is one of the differences between neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics?
Neurolinguistics involves the regions of the brain involved in engaging the production and understanding of language
Name all lobes in the hemispheres
- Parietal lobe
- Temporal lobe
- Occipital lobe
- Frontal lobe
The ______ lobe is involved in higher thinking and language production
frontal
____ and ____ mean regions toward the top
____ and ____ mean regions toward the bottom
superior; dorsal
inferior; ventral
True or false : The Inferior frontal gyrus houses the Broca’s area
True
True or false : The Sylvian parietotemporal areas houses the Broca’s Area
False, Wernicke’s (think problems of semantics)
the _____ temporal gyrus houses the auditory cortex where early sound processing occurs
superior
The ‘extreme capsule’ of the brain incorporates which regions :
- Middle and inferior temporal gyri
- Sylvian parietotemporal area
- Superior temporal gyrus
- Inferior frontal gyrus
1, 3, 4
True or false : The arculate fasciculus breaks down words into component sounds/signs
True
True or false : Broca’s aphasia mainly encompasses semantic difficulties (hint : think partender)
False, Broca’s aphasia challenges planning motor sequences for speaking/signing
True or false : This sentence “Do you like KC? - Yes I am” refers to Broca’s aphasia
False, it involves semanticity so it is Wernicke’s
_______ aphasia refers to the inability to REPEAT what was just said (Hint : think a conductor of a train) - STG damage
Conduction
Which of the following is an example of alexia :
1. Jack reads cat, and thinks of a cat
2. Sarah can’t write her own name on a paper
3. Zenaya can’t read out loud in her class
- Alexia refers to the acquired inability to read or comprehend written words
True or false : Aphasia is ONLY a spoken disorder, and therefore signers are unable to be affected
False, damage to the L hem can cause aphasia
