Fundamentals
The scientific examination of how the brain processes all forms of language
Neurolinguistics
When individuals specifically have trouble producing any form of speech they suffer from _______
Brocha's Aphasia
The experimental study that researched the broca's area ability to produce correct interpretations of all the linguistic input heard
Novick, Trueswell, and Thompson-Schill (2005)
When an individual has difficulty communicating due to damage to the areas of the brian responsible for speech; they have ______
Aphasia
When individuals have difficulty understanding speech; they suffer from ______
Wernicke's Aphasia
The experimental study that researched the broca's area activity during stroop tasks with syntatic ambiguities
January, Trueswell, and Thompson-Schill (2009)
The area in the front of the brian that is responsible for producing speech
Broca's Area
The fMRI approach that collects information as a person engages in a variety of challenging linguistic activities
Language Localizer Task
The experimental study that researched the linguistic map located in the broca's area in the left hemisphere of the brain
Fedorenki, Behr, and Kanwisher (2012)
The area in the back of the brain that is responsible for the understanding of language
Wernicke's Area
The technical approach that does not accurately pinpoint the location of a process in the brain and only records extremely rapid variations in brain activity.
Event-related Potential (ERP) technique
The experimental study that researched both hemispheres of the brain using fMRI; and discovered that the left hemisphere had identical activation patterns for the provided stimulus. While the right hemisphere showed a different pattern of activation for the different stimuli.
Gernsbacher & Robertson (2005)
The neuronal network in the motor cortex of the brain
Mirror System
If an individual has a stroke that affects their posterial temporal lobe they will be later diagnosed with _______
Wernicke's Aphasia
The experimental study that discovered the mirror system in monkeys because the monkeys mimicked the actions the done by the experimenters
