|
|
A Neuron is... |
A basic "building block" of the nervous system. It is a nerve cell. |

-the creative side of the brain -dominant for spatial abilities(reasoning, memory, verbal), face recognition, visual imagery and music |
|
|
Wernicke's area is... |

What falls under Form |
•Sytax- the order of words in a sentence •Morphology- small grammatical units like ed, s, 's, ing, est •Phonology- sounds/ linguistic units. Reminder phonemes are the sounds letters like these make |s| |b| |p| |
|
|
What falls under Use |
Pragmatics- use and performance of words EX.) teacher- proper Friend-slang Lover- romantic/sweet |
|
|
Nativists believe... |
We were born with the abilities to speak and understand language. Reminder: Chomsky came up with this theory |
|
|
Function of the cerebellum |
It regulates the muscular activity Outputs motor movement information |
|
|
Function of a Neuron |
Is to deliver messages from the brain to the rest of the body |
|
|
Bound Morphemes... |
Cannot function independently EX.) ed, ing, est cakeS, runnING |
|
|
3 components of language are.. |
Form Use Content |
|
|
Parts of a Neuron are... |
Dendrites Cell body(soma) Nucleus Axon Myelin |
|
|
Constructionists believe... |
The only way to develop language is by putting it to use and surrounding yourself with people |
|
|
Interactionists believe... |
It's a combination of being born with the abilities to develop language as well as using the language around people to fully develop |
|
|
Cerebrum consists of... |
2 hemispheres right + left 4 lobes in each hemisphere -Frontal lobe -Parietal lobe -Temporal lobe -Occipital lobe Reminder the cerebrum is the largest part of the brain |
|
|
Broca's area.... |
Is located in the left frontal lobe. Processes discrete units like single words or phrases. |
|
|
Left Hemisphere... |
Is the logical side of the brain. Specializes in oral, visual, and written languages. It is good at understanding rapidly changing information. |
|
|
Central nervous system consists of... |
Cerebrum Spinal cord Brainstem |
|
|
Peripheral Nervous System |
Contains all the nerves in the body outside of the spinal cord and brain. Cranial and Spinal nerves |
|
|
Function of the Brainstem is... |
To bring sensory information to the brain EX.) touch, temperature, pain, pressure, vision, balance, hearing , and movement |
|
|
Pro + con of Nativist |
Pro- everything needed to develop language we are born with Con- it doesn't explain how people will understand abstract languages like metaphors or idioms |
|
|
Pro + con of constructionist |
Pro- by using language with people we learn abstract languages Con- doesn't explain why children who are isolated vs children who are surrounded by people develop language at the same rate |
|
|
Pro + con of interactionalist |
Pro-language is developed better with the environment as well at the abilities we were born with Con- doesn't have a negative aspect since it takes the best parts of the two other theories |
|
|
Anatomy of the Cerebrum |
Areas where the lobes are located |
