Aphasia is related with

• Visual disorder

• Speech impairment

• Muscle disoder

• Sense impairment

The corpus callosum

• Manages our understanding of speech and language
• cannot process messages sent from the left hand
• is a deep fissure in the cerebral cortex
• is a thick band of nerve fibres linking the two hemispheres of the brain

Stimulation at a point on which of the following may cause a person to report being touched on the knee?

• Motor Cortex

• Cerebellum

• Somatosensory cortex

• Temporal lobe

If a person has difficulty producing speech due to a stroke they will most likely be diagnosed with

• Broca's Aphasia

• Wernicke's Aphasia

• Visual Agnosia

• Neglect Syndrome

Which Lobe?

• Frontal
• Parietal
• Temporal
• Occipital

Which of the following statements is true about language processing in the brain?

• Broca's area in the left frontal lobe is involved in the production of articulate speech
• The right hemisphere is where all major language functions are located
• The comprehension of speech is a function of Wernicke's area in the left frontal lobe
• Damage to Wernicke's area does not cause any speech difficulties

Which of the four lobes is typically responsible for receiving and processing auditory information?

• frontal
• parietal
• occipital
• temporal

The parietal lobe contains the 

• motor cortex
• somatosensory cortex
• Broca's area
• Wernicke's area

Which of the following statements about the cerebral cortex is true?

• the larger the area on the somatosensory cortex, the more sensitive the perception
• the smaller the area on the somatosensory cortex, the more sensitive the perception
• the larger area on the parietal cortex, the more sensitive the hearing 
• the smaller the area on the partietal cortex, the more sensitive the hearing

Part of there cerebral hemisphere that interprets sensory input.

• Cortex

• Basal nuclei

• Thalamus

• Hypothalamus
