Brain lateralization - vision & sensory/motor systems - that why we learn pathways

- language - well learn here

- Split Brains

Cerebral lateralization Left -serial -language Right - parallel - faces/ patterns - emotional stuff - music - spatial ability

Language in the Brain Learn about language? Lesion studies Tan - famous patient Brocas Aphasia - slow labored speech - not fluent - little/no language production - some sing/hum familiar tunes - use nouns & verbs (essential meaning) - no conjuctions, prepositions, pronouns ( grammar) The general commands the army. No ifs ands or buts.

Brocas Aphasia

Agrammatism Anomia Articulation

Language in the Brain Wernickes Aphasia - receptive deficit

Pure word deafness - fail to recognize word (?) recognize emotion, source Transcortical Sensory Aphasia - language loses meaning - can still repeat - damage - posterior language area
Conduction Aphasia - good comprehension, production - poor repetition - damage - arcuate fasciculus

Language in the Brain Anomia revisitied - temporal lobe damage

- pole
- proper nouns (people places things) - inferior temporal - common nouns (categories) Verbs - frontal - cerebellar

Language in the Brain

Reading 2 types - phonological (phonetic) - sound it out - learning phase - slow - graphemic ( whole word, lexical) - recognize word, irregular word

- Chi Chi Rodriguez - epinephrine

- fast, error prone if proofreading

Language in the Brain

Dyslexia - lots of different types Developmental - wont cover Aquired dyslexias

Surface dyslexia - no whole-word reading

Phonological dyslexia - can not sound out

Word-form dyslexia (letter-by-letter)

Direct dyslexia (deep dyslexia)
