| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Patient R.F. was unable to ________ after damage to her ________. | read; left hemisphere |
| Most of our knowledge about the physiology of language has been obtained by studying | language function in people who have suffered cerebrovascular accidents or strokes. |
| ________ is a primary disturbance in comprehension or production of speech that is caused by brain damage. | Aphasia |
| In order for a difficulty in the production or comprehension of speech to be considered aphasia, the disturbance | should not reflect a general sensory/motor deficit. |
| Verbal behavior is said to be a lateralized function of the left hemisphere in that | language problems are more likely to be noted after damage to the left rather than the right hemisphere. |
| The left hemisphere is better than the right hemisphere at | producing language |
| The normal rhythm and stress of speech is called | prosody |
| Broca’s aphasia involves damage localized within the | inferior left frontal lobe |
| A person with Broca’s aphasia would have the most difficulty in | saying function words |
| A ________ word is important for grammar, whereas ________ words convey meaning | function; content |
| A person with Broca’s aphasia would be expected to | show great difficulty in articulating words |
| Damage to the left frontal association cortex, just anterior to the “face” region of primary motor cortex, would produce | Brocas’s aphasia |
| A person with Broca’s aphasia would be expected to | pronounce words correctly, but slowly. |
| A difficulty in the use of word order, use of function words, and selection of appropriate word endings is termed | agrammatism |
| The speech deficit of ________ is a common feature of all forms of aphasia. | Anomia |
| The Dronkers (1996) study suggests that difficulty of speech articulation involves damage to the | left precentral gyrus of the insula. |
| An important feature of Wernicke’s aphasia involves difficulty in | understanding speech |
| Wernicke’s aphasia is caused by damage to the | superior temporal gyrus of the left hemisphere |
| The speech disorder known as ________ is considered to be a receptive aphasia. | Wernicke’s aphasia |
| A person with pure word deafness is unable to | understand speech |
| Speech ________ is facilitated by mirror neurons that are activated by the sounds of words. | recognition |
| Transcortical sensory aphasia results from damage to | the posterior language area |
| A spared ability in transcortical sensory aphasia is the capacity to | repeat back words heard from others |
| Transcortical sensory aphasia can be produced by | damage to the posterior language area |
| One way to think about Wernicke’s aphasia is that this syndrome is | a mixture of pure word deafness and transcortical sensory aphasia |
| One way to think about transcortical aphasia is that this syndrome is | Wernicke’s aphasia without pure word deafness. |
| Temporary disruption of ________ results in difficulty in understanding novel metaphors such as “conscience storm.” | the right superior temporal pole |
| The key deficit noted in conduction aphasia is the inability to | repeat nonwords |
| Studies of patients with conduction aphasia have led to which of the following conclusions about the neural control of language? | There are different neural paths for sounds and for meanings of words. |
| The key deficit in pure anomia involves a difficulty in | choosing the correct words to express an idea |
| Anomia for verbs is | caused by damage to frontal cortex tissue in and around Broca’s area |
| Which of the following represents the flow of information for speech comprehension? | Wernicke’s area -> posterior language area -> sensory and motor association cortex |
| Which of the following represents the flow of information for speech production? | sensory and motor association cortex -> posterior language area -> Broca’s area |
| Which of the following is true about prosody? | Prosody is normal in people with Wernicke’s aphasia |
| Damage to the right hemisphere impairs the production of prosody in that | production of prosody resembles singing, which is a specialization of the right hemisphere |
| The speech of a person with ________ would be fluent but poor in naming, repetition, and comprehension | Wernicke’s aphasia |
| Which of the following is true of stuttering? | Delayed auditory feedback improves the speech of a stutterer |
| A person who suffers from pure alexia | cannot read, but can recognize words spelled aloud |
| Pure alexia is produced by damage to pathways that carry ________ information to ________. | visual; the left visual word-form area |
| The general term used to refer to an impairment of writing is | dysgraphia |
