The Modalities
Which modalities of language make up receptive language?
Listening (auditory comprehension) and Reading (reading comprehension)
Which cortex is located in the frontal lobe?
Primary Motor Cortex and Premotor Cortex
Which cortex is involved in the planning and programming in the oral expression pathway?
Premotor cortex
What are some responsibilities of the prefrontal cortex?
-goal-directed behavior
-personality
-decision making
-initiation vs inhibition
-EF
What is language (according to the ppt.)?
what you want to say
Which modalities make up Expressive language?
Speaking (spoken expression) and Writing (written expression)
Which language area is located in the Temporal lobe?
Wernicke's
For reading comprehension, where does this pathway begin?
Peripheral visual system-eyes
What cortex is located in the Parietal Lobe and what does it do?
Primary Sensory Cortex- received and perceives somatosensory information
Also the somatosensory association cortex which provides sensory input for refined motor movements.
What is speech (according to the ppt.)?
how you say it
How many modalities of language are there?
4
What language area is located in the Frontal Lobe?
Broca's
Which area maps meaning in the comprehension pathways (auditory and reading)?
Wernicke's
What two Gyri are located in the Parietal Lobe and what do they do?
Angular Gyrus: assists with reading and math skills
Supra-marginal Gyrus: phonological representation
these make up the inferior parietal lobe
What are the big three areas of language? 5 domains?
Content, form, use
Phonology, Morphology, Semantics, Syntax, and Pragmatics
Which modalities is most important for us as SLP's?
ALL OF THEM!
What is the Premotor Cortex responsible for?
Motor Planning
What happens in the Prefrontal Cortex during the oral expression pathway?
-generating thoughts
-initiation of oral speech
-incorporation of emotions
What does Wernicke's area do?
maps auditory information to words and meanings (auditory comprehension)
Speech involves controlling muscles int he mouth and throat in order to produce it. What four things make up speech production?(hint: think of how we classify speech sounds)
respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation
If you told your client to point to the book and then the pencil and the out the pencil on the book, what area of language could we suspect is impaired?
Auditory comprehension
What is the Primary Motor Cortex responsible for?
Motor Execution
In the oral expression pathway, the primary motor cortex is responsible for what?
execution of speech muscles
What love is responsible for receiving visual information?
Occipital Lobe
If a client has apraxia, is there a language or speech disorder?
Speech
