🗑
connectionist model   all areas connected in someway  
🗑
Wenicke's role in speech comprehension   1. recognizes the message as speech 2. then finds semanitical meaning of word 3. consults its book of syntactic rules 4. interpreted literally or figuratively 5. sends instruction to other parts of the brain regarding how to respond  
🗑
comprehension of printed materials   1. lands on visual cortex 2. visual cortex encodes sends to ...3. wernicke's area via the posterior corpus callosum, then same as auditory process  
🗑
how the brain performs spontaneous speech   1. Wernicke's retrieves the words then sends coded sentence to broca's who tranlates and orders sounds, activates primary motor cortex, motor strip uses pyramidal system to put speech muscles in action, wernickes area monitors and repairs  
🗑

🗑
how the brain performs oral reading   same as speech repetition but wernick's receives message from the visual cortex  
🗑
how the brain performs writing   wernicke's formulates a message, gets the spelling right, sends it via the arcuate faciulus to premotor cortex, to the motor cortex, down the cortico spinal tract, to the persons hand and arm  
🗑

🗑
4 classification of aphasia   cortical persylvian, transcortical border zone, subcortical aphasia, non-localized  
🗑

🗑
conduction aphasia symptoms   camprehension and articulation are intact, spontaneous speech is better than repetition, conversational speech is fluent with literal paraphasias, pauses, hesitation and anomia, dysprosodic, looks like mild to moderate broca's  
🗑
cortical aphasias   broca's, wernicke's, conduction, global  
🗑
global aphasia   large lesion, severe impairment of both understanding and expresson, mute or repeptive, coprhension better than production, reading and writing are severly impaired  
🗑
transcortical motor aphasia   nonfluent aphasia, dysfluent and effort in conversation, serial speech, repetition and coprehension appear adequate  
🗑
transcortical sensory aphasia   fluent aphasia, marked by paraphasias, reading, comprehension, writing and naming are poor, repetition good  
🗑
subcortical aphasia   lesion in the thalamus, marked by berbal paraphasia and neologisms, auditory and reading comprehension and repetion are intact, reduced vocal volume, word finding deficits with frequen perserveration (get stuck)  
🗑
anomic aphasia   fluent but interrupted by word finding difficulties, occurs in most types of dementia, can be stressed induced  
🗑
apraxia   difficulty carrying out volitioal movementsequences in the absence of weakness, paralysis, sensory loss or incoordination in the muscles used for the movements  
🗑
ideational apraxia   doesn't have the idea underlying the movement. doesn't have the idea of the object, always affects both sides of the body.

🗑
isolation syndromes   motor and sensory transcortical aphasias  
🗑
