What is Wernicke's area responsible for according to early brain mappings of language?

• Visual processing

• Receptive language (comprehension)

What was Broca's area thought to be responsible for?

• Auditory processing

• Language production

How was language originally considered in terms of brain hemisphere involvement?

• Not related to any specific hemisphere

• Mainly a left hemisphere (LH) perisylvian event

Which area of the brain is associated with language comprehension/ receptive?

• Wernicke's Area

• Cerebellum

What is the function of Broca's Area in the brain?

• It is involved in speech production.

• It is involved in visual processing.

What is the current thought on mapping language components onto the brain?

• Language components map onto the brain as a whole without subcomponents.

• Each language component can be neurologically decomposed into subcomponents.

What is the focus of the study mentioned in the text?

• The study of semantics

• The brain mapping of syntax

What does FSM stand for according to the text?

• Functional State Mapping

• Formal Syntax Map

What is syntax based on?

• A set of examples

• A set of rules

What does syntax do?

• It creates confusion by mixing words.

• It creates meaning by putting words in particular orders.
