Psyc 211 Human Communication

Front 1

Language lateralization

Back 1

- left side more dominant irrespective handedness
- left hem for speech production and comprehension
- right hem for emotion and tone of voice

Front 2

location of Brocas and Wernickes Areas and function

Back 2

brocas: left inferior frontal gyrus (production)
Wernickes: left superior temporal gyrus (comprehension)

Front 3

Describe broccas aphasia (speech production disorder) (7)

Back 3

- agrammatism (refers to the patients difficult in using grammatical constructions)
- difficulty using functional words and rarely use markers or aux.
- are capable however of producing meaningful content words such as house and apple
- misunderstane complex sentences
- Anomic ( word-finding difficulty)
- have difficulty with articulation
- aware of their condition

Front 4

What would broccas aphasia sound like?
Wernicke's?

Back 4

Kid…kkk….can…candy…cookie…candy…well…I don’t know but it’s writ…easy does it …slam … early…fall… men… many no … girl. Dishes …soap …soap… water… water…falling pah that’s all… dish …that’s all. may mispronounce words like likstip instead of lipstick

is your name Smith? "I just don't know what your doing and you just saving walking around here"
- name that object test they will give not real words and are VERY SURE of their answers

Front 5

Stimulation of brocas area, PMC in brocas aphasia patients does...

Back 5

makes them feel like they cant get a word out; makes them feel like they lost facial muscle control

Front 6

Voiced speech activates

Back 6

Periaqueductal Gray matter and auditory cortex

Front 7

Damage to ____ interrupts normale speech articulation and causes speech apraxia (inability to program movements of lips etc)

Back 7

precentral gyrus of insular cortex

Front 8

Describe Werckine's Aphasia (defecit in speech comprehension)

Back 8

- few content words but lots of function words
- fluent speech but non sensical
- can hold a conversation, but show poor speech comprehension (recognizing words and meaning, turning thoughts into words)
- unaware of condition

Front 9

Pure Word Deafness- definition, caused by,

Back 9

- recognition is not the same as comprehension!
- this is a disorder of auditory word recognition
- caused by damage to temporal lobe (to wernikes itself or to its inputs)
- cannot understand speech but arent deaf and can comprehend the meaning of speech, produce excellent speech, and recognize emotion and intonation

Front 10

Transcortial Sensory Aphasia

Back 10

- disorder produed by damage to temporal occipital-parietal area
- can recognise speech because they can repeat what is said but they cnanot comprehend it and cannot produce their own meaningful speech

Front 11

Autotopagnosia

Back 11

inability to name body parts caused by damage to ledt auditory ass cortex

Front 12

Conduction Aphasia

Back 12

- damage to arrcuate fascicles (connects brocas and wernikes) results in fluent, meaninful speech but poor repetition
- they can repeat only sounds which have meaning and sometimes will repeat a similar word ie chair- sit

Front 13

Functional words; content words

Back 13

a, some, in, about; nouns, adjectives, verbs

Front 14

tip of tongue phenomenon involves...

Back 14

less grey matter in insular cortex

Front 15

anomic aphasia

Back 15

pure anomia, speech fluent and grammatical but cant find appropriate words

Front 16

Prosody

Back 16

using changes in intonation and emphasis to convey meaning - involves right hem!

Front 17

Stuttering involves...

Back 17

circuits involved in feedback and speech planning not articulation
