Wernicke’s Area
Wernicke’s Area
-> the “posterior speech cortex"
A part of the brain in the left hemisphere involved in language comprehension
Broca’s area
Broca’s area
-> described as the “anterior speech cortex”
A part of the brain in the left hemisphere involved in speech production
motor cortex
motor cortex
a part of the brain that controls muscle movement
arcuate fasciculus
arcuate fasciculus
a bundle of nerve fibers connecting Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area in the left hemisphere of the brain
Localization view: the belief that specific aspects of linguistic ability have specific locations in the brain.
The word is heard and comprehended via Wernick’s area.
The signal is transferred via the arcuate fasciculus to Broca’a area.
Preparation are made to produce the signal in Broca’a area.
A signal is sent to part of the motor cortex to physically articulate the word.
