Tests of Cerebral lateralization • Lesions • Sodium amytal test • Dichotic listening test • Functional brain imaging • Split brain
Theories of Cerebral Asymmetry • Analytic-Synthetic theory • Motor theory • Linguistic theory
Broca’s Aphasia • Impaired language production • Overall language comprehension was not a problem UNLESS the meaning depended on prepositions, and other grammatical devices • Some production difficulties • “To be or not to be” • Two bee oar knot two bee
Wernicke’s Aphasia • Difficulties with nouns and verbs • Trouble with language comprehension • “Word Salad”
Summary • Broca’s aphasia • More trouble with production of language • Problems with prepositions, conjuctions and pronouns • Wernicke’s aphasia • More trouble with comprehension • Problems remembering and knowing nouns and verbs.
Conduction Aphasia • Arcuate fasciculus • Conveys information about the sounds of words, but not their meaning • Poor repetition of unfamiliar words
Wernicke-Geschwind • Conversation • Auditory signal to primary cortex • Primary cortex to Wernicke’s area • Wernicke’s area to Broca’s area (via arcuate fasiculus) • Broca’s area to primary motor cortex • Primary motor cortex to vocalizaton
Wernicke-Geschwind • Reading aloud • Primary visual cortex to left angular gyrus • Left angular gyrus to Wernicke’s area • Wernicke’s area to Broca’s area (via arcuate fasiculus) • Broca’s area to primary motor cortex • Primary motor cortex to vocalizaton
Dyslexia • Developmental dyslexia • Planum temporale • Acquired dyslexia • Lexical procedure and phonetic procedure • Surface dyslexia • Deep dyslexia • Word-form spelling • Direct • Alexia
