Cognitive neuroscience of language.pptx

Premise 1:
Wernicke-Geschwind model focusing on specific brain areas for speech production, comprehension, and reading.
constituent cognitive processes three categories:
phonological analysis (analysis of the sound of language),
grammatical analysis (analysis of the structure of language), and
semantic analysis (analysis of the meaning of language)
Premise 2: The Wernicke-Geschwind model focuses on language-related brain areas, while cognitive neuroscience suggests these processes also influence other behaviors.

2. Cognitive neuroscience of language…. Premise 3: The WernickeGeschwind model assumes language areas to be large, circumscribed, and homogeneous, while other functional systems may have small, specialized areas. The cognitive neuroscience approach to language differs from previous methods by analyzing brain-damaged patients and using functional brain imaging for studying language localization in healthy volunteers. the WernickeGeschwind model rests heavily on the analysis of brain-damaged patients, whereas researchers using the cognitive neuroscience approach also employ an array of other techniques most notably, functional brain imaging in studying the localization of language in healthy volunteers

3. Functional Brain Imaging and the Localization of Language Bavelier’s fmri study of reading. Damasio’s pet study of naming.

4. Cognitive neuroscience of Dyslexia Dyslexia is a reading disorder characterized by two types: developmental dyslexias , Causes and Neural Mechanisms Developmental Dyslexia and Culture acquired dyslexias

5. Cognitive Neuroscience of Deep and Surface Dyslexia Reading aloud analysis helps understand surface and deep dyslexia, brain damage-related dyslexia, and developmental dyslexias Surface Dyslexia Surface dyslexia occurs when patients lose their ability to pronounce words based on specific memories, but can still apply pronunciation rules in reading. Deep Dyslexia Deep dyslexia, also known as phonological dyslexia, occurs when patients cannot apply pronunciation rules in reading but can still pronounce familiar words based on their specific memories.
