SYNTAX

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

• Memory processing

• Receptive language (comprehension)

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

• Visual processing

• Language production

How was language originally considered in terms of brain localization?

• Mainly a LH perisylvian event

• A RH perisylvian event

Which area of the brain is associated with language comprehension?

• Hypothalamus

• Wernicke's Area

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

• It regulates emotional responses.

• It is associated with language production.

Which approach led to the mapping of syntax onto Broca's area and semantics onto Wernicke's area?

• Another approach

• Clinical studies

What did clinical and brain-imaging studies show regarding the mapping of language functions onto Broca's and Wernicke's areas?

• They indicated that neither approach was clearly correct.

• They demonstrated a new mapping of language functions.

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

• Each language component can be neurologically decomposed into subcomponents.

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

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

• The quest for FSM without considering syntax

• The brain mapping of syntax and its subcomponents

What does FSM stand for according to the text?

• Formal Semantic Map

• Formal Syntax Map
