Neurolinguistics
Across
- 3. - The study of how the brain represents and processes language.
- 4. - Skills related to the social use of language, like turn-taking.
- 6. - The lobe of the brain where Broca's area is typically located.
- 8. - A key factor that can cause aphasia, such as from a stroke.
- 10. - The neural route that begins with the auditory cortex for processing spoken language.
- 13. - The bundle of nerve fibers connecting Broca's and Wernicke's areas.
- 16. - The type of processing related to the structure and order of words in a sentence.
- 17. - A speech disorder characterized by fluent but meaningless speech.
- 18. - The brain region crucial for speech production and syntax.
- 20. - A teaching method that uses sound, sight, and touch to aid learning.
Down
- 1. - A reading disorder often linked to weak phonological awareness.
- 2. - A speech disorder with slow, effortful, and agrammatic speech.
- 5. - The type of processing that deals with identifying and distinguishing speech sounds.
- 7. - The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.
- 9. - The mental store or dictionary of words and their meanings.
- 11. - A language disorder, such as Broca's or Wernicke's, caused by brain damage.
- 12. - The type of processing related to the meaning of words and sentences.
- 14. - The hemisphere of the brain dominant for language in most right-handed people.
- 15. - The brain region primarily responsible for language comprehension.
- 19. - The brain's outer layer, involved in higher cognitive functions.
