Neuropsychology Flashcards
1
Q
Jean Baptiste Boulliaud
A
1825
Presented evidence that showed language is probably localised in the brain
8 patients with frontal lobe damage had language problems while 6 patients with other damage did not. Data from autopsies
2
Q
Broca
A
1861
Extended Bouillauds work: prestended evidence to the Societe de Anthropologie that showed the brain of Tan. And more cases of failure in speech production. 1865: left hemisphere involved.
NOT the first to defend localisation or lateralisation
Matthew effect: Aubertin was first actually
3
Q
Wernicke
A
1874: stimulated by Broca, presented evidence that language problems in comprehension could appear after damage to the posterior part of the left hemisphere (temporal lobe)
