26
Q

Broca’s (expressive) aphasia

A

Loss of speech production without loss of speech comprehension

27
Q

Wernicke’s (receptive) aphasia

A

Loss of speech comprehension and fluent but meaningless speech production

28
Q

Conduction aphasia

A

Preserved speech perception and production, but difficulty in repetition

29
Q

Gyrus

A

Region of cerebral cortex that protrudes outward (hills)

30
Q

Sulcus

A

Region of cerebral cortex that is folded inward

31
Q

Longitudinal fissure

A

Deep groove separating right and left hemispheres

32
Q

Lateral sulcus (Sylvan fissure)

A

Deep fold that separates temporal lobe from other lobes

33
Q

Somatosensory cortex

A

Processes body senses, keeps track of what body parts are doing

34
Q

Primary motor cortex

A

Programs commands to move body

35
Q

Primary auditory cortex

A

Processes sensory input from ears, including speech

36
Q

Primary visual cortex

A

Processes sensory input from eyes

37
Q

Supplementary motor region

A

Programming intentional actions

38
Q

Anterior cingulate cortex

A

Detecting errors and monitoring conflict

39
Q

Anterior insula

A

Implicated in language processing

40
Q

Cerebellum

A

Regulated rhythm of syllable production at normal speaking rates

41
Q

Basal ganglia

A

Select most appropriate motor program in a given context

42
Q

Thalamus

A

Plays role in coordinating motor programs for speech production

43
Q

Feedforward control

A

Provides general motor plan for moving body part toward goal

44
Q

Feedback control

A
  • Adjusts forward trajectory based on real-time information about likely success of movement
  • Motor system receives rapid feedback from somatosensory system
45
Q

Jaw perturbation technique

A

Tests somatosensory feedback in speech production

46
Q

Auditory perturbation technique

A

Tests auditory feedback in speech production

47
Q

Auditory suppression

A
  • General principle of sensorimotor system

- Expected sensory effects of self-initiated action are attenuated

48
Q

Dual stream model

A

General organizing principle of the sensorimotor system

49
Q

Ventral stream

A

Through temporal lobe processes “what” information (object identification)

50
Q

Dorsal stream

A

Through parietal lobe processes “how” information (navigation)

51
Q

DIVA

A

Computational model, models both speech production and speech acquisition
-Organizes functional brain regions into feedforward and feedback control systems

52
Q

Babbling

A

Phonation
Gooing
Expansion
Canonical babbling

53
Q

Phonation

A

0-2 Vowel-like sounds made by vibrating vocal folds

54
Q

Gooing

A

2-4 Syllable-like sounds in back of vocal tract

55
Q

Expansion

A

4-6 Variety of different sounds

56
Q

Canonical babbling

A

6-12 Sequences of clearly formed consonant-vowel syllables

57
Q

Frames-then-Content Model

A

Explains babbling in terms of repeated jaw movements

58
Q

Object directed vocalization

A

Babbling uttered as infant approaches and manipulates novel object

59
Q

Hearing impairments

A

May not be detected during first year because infant still babbles

60
Q

Slow expressive movement

A

Delay in babbling or talking in spite of developing receptive language and social interaction skills at a normal rate

61
Q

Childhood apraxia of speech

A

Severe difficulty producing speech even though cognitive, perceptual, and motor skills otherwise in normal range

62
Q

Residual speech sound errors

A

Misarticulations that persist into elementary school years

63
Q

Fis phenomenon

A

Child can clearly hear a distinction between two phonemes but uses only one of them while speaking
