Language Flashcards
language provides what?
Meaning:
Internal, abstract, representation of sensory experience
-perceptual –> embodied cognition
Language:
Categorization
Sensory integration: occipital (feature detectors/binding)
Language:
Label
Conceptual information
-temporal
Language:
sequencing
Motor
-parietal
Language:
Mimicry
Organization
-frontal
Language:
Functional architecture is what?
Neural networks that coordinate a specific function
building connection
(not restricted to structure, and not exclusive to a function)
-earliest evidence for embodied cognition
Language:
Brocas area function
Multiple-demand network
-activation in response to difficult/complex tasks
-grammatical tasks
(lexical, grammatical and articulatory conversion/rules)
What is Nonfluent Aphasia?
Broca’s/expressive aphasia, transcortical sensory)
- spontaneous production of speech is disrupted
- speech halting, laborious
- missing function words
- comprehnsion
Debate: deficit in EF?
Language:
Wernicke’s area function
Arranging speech sounds into coherent speech
- auditory word form
- mental representation of phoneme sequence
- phonologic representation of concept
What is Fluent Aphasia
Wernicke’s aphasia
transcortical sensory
- poor comprehension
- association between sound and meaning
- speech is fluid
Language disorders:
what can be used to predict deficits?
Functional architecture
-can be used to diagnose (interpret symptoms)
What does the temporoparietal junction do?
Translates mentalese( the language you think in)
- network responsible for translating conceptual information into written/symbolic form
- does overlap with wernicke’s
Pure aphasia:
Alexia agraphia
What is Attentional neglect? Agraphia
Neglecting letters, parts of words
What is phonological (peripheral) aphasia?
Nonwords
symbols into sounds
hard time sounding out nonsense words
