Lecture 10 - Language Production

Question 1

In Damiano & Grabowski case study, what area of the brain was damaged and caused them to be unable to name famous people?

Answer 1

anterior (L) temporal (temporal pole)

Question 2

In Damiano & Grabowski case study, what area of the brain was damaged and caused an inability to name animals?

Answer 2

inferotemporal gyrus

Question 3

In Damiano & Grabowski case study, what area of the brain was damaged and caused an inability to name tools?

Answer 3

post inferotemporal near occipital

Question 4

Garrett’s two stage model of language production are ____ and _____

Answer 4

sentence level; motor/articulation level

Question 5

There are _____ dorsal streams, one in each hemisphere

Answer 5

two

Question 6

What are the cognitive models of language production?

Answer 6

two-stage model, Spreading activation model, and neuro model

Question 7

What is the neuro model of language production?

Answer 7

We conceptualize what we want to say; it involves phonological encoding (which is language) and articulatory encoding (which is speech); the systems are the controller system, lexical/conceptual activation, and conceptual system

Question 8

In the serial model of language production_______ are closed class and ______ are open class

Answer 8

functors; content words

Question 9

What is the serial model of language production?

Answer 9

a top-down model in which events happen sequentially: meaning –> syntax word frame —> syntax —> open and closed class–> phonology

Question 10

What are the stages in Fromlin’s 5 stage model of language production

Answer 10

meaning—-> syntax frame (word order) and semantics —-> prosody–> word selection (open class i.e., content words then closed class i.e., functor words) followed by lemma—-> —-> lexeme or phonological representation

Question 11

What is the spreading activation model?

Answer 11

parallel model of language production in which nodes or point at the semantic syntactici, morphological, and phonological leves interact with each other. We produce the word(s) whose nodes are activated the most.

Question 12

Language production is likely a mix of _______

Answer 12

distributed parallel and serial processing

Question 13

What are the two levels In Garrett’s two stage model of language production?

Answer 13

sentence level and motor production level

Question 14

The sentence level of Garrett’s two stage model consists of

Answer 14

functional level (lexicalization and word order) and positional level (how one says the words chosen for the message)

Question 15

The motor articulation level of Garrett’s two stage model consists of _____

Answer 15

phonetics (i.e., motor plan)

Question 16

What is a parallel processing model for language production?

Answer 16

A model in which information between the conceptualization level, sentence level, and articulation level communicate to each other.

Question 17

What language production model is an example of a parallel processing model?

Answer 17

Dell’s spreading activation theory

Question 18

What language production models are examples of a serial processing model?

Answer 18

Garrett’s two stage model and Fromkin’s 5 stage model
