Question 2

Match the potential site of lesion to the descriptor of pathology. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Loss of face recognition

Accepted Answer

The right hemisphere, particularly the right fusiform gyrus, is associated with facial recognition. Lesions here can lead to prosopagnosia, or the inability to recognize faces.

Question 3

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-A speech signal produced by someone else is received auditorily at the cortex.

Accepted Answer

B  Heschl's gyrus (A) is the primary auditory cortex where auditory signals are first received and processed. Secondary auditory regions (B) further process and interpret these auditory signals.

Question 4

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The speaker has initiated a motor plan to begin the act of speech, but the motor plan is compared with the actual position of the articulators and speech structures to determine whether changes must be made for coordinated speech output.

Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating motor plans with sensory feedback, ensuring smooth and coordinated speech output by adjusting the motor plan based on the actual position of the articulators.

Question 5

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The features of an acoustical signal that has been received auditorily are combined, analyzed, and recognized as meaningful speech. The syntax for the utterance is parsed and word meaning is combined to that signal.

Accepted Answer

The temporal-occipital-parietal association area is responsible for combining and analyzing the features of an acoustical signal that has been received auditorily and recognizing it as meaningful speech. It is also responsible for parsing the syntax for the utterance and combining word meaning to that signal.

Question 6

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The speaker takes the auditory information she has received and analyzed as input speech and examines it for emotional overlay (to determine if the person speaking to her is angry or happy).

Accepted Answer

The speaker takes the auditory information she has received and analyzed as input speech and examines it for emotional overlay (to determine if the person speaking to her is angry or happy). This is a function of the limbic association area.

Question 7

Match the potential site of lesion to the descriptor of pathology. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Left visual neglect

Accepted Answer

Left visual neglect is typically associated with damage to the right hemisphere, particularly in areas involved in attention and spatial awareness.

Question 8

Match the potential site of lesion to the descriptor of pathology. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Deficit of intonation

Accepted Answer

The right hemisphere is typically associated with processing aspects of language such as intonation and prosody, so a deficit in intonation is likely due to a lesion in the right hemisphere.

Question 9

Match each term to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-A particular protein that allows passage of ions as a result of and in response to a voltage

Accepted Answer

Voltage-sensitive gates are proteins that open or close in response to changes in membrane potential, allowing ions to pass through.

Question 10

Match the potential site of lesion to the descriptor of pathology. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Syntactic deficit

Accepted Answer

Syntactic deficits are typically associated with damage to the left hemisphere, which is responsible for language processing, including syntax.

Question 11

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The speaker takes information he has received from his peripheral sensors concerning the position of his velum and tongue, and combines that information with the context of other body sense, such as degree of muscle tension.

Accepted Answer

The secondary somatosensory regions are involved in processing sensory information, such as the position of the velum and tongue, and integrating it with other sensory inputs like muscle tension.

Question 12

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The speaker thinks about current conversational context, combines that knowledge with language information she has received and analyzed from the speech of someone else, and develops an idea about how to respond.

Accepted Answer

The frontal association region is involved in higher cognitive functions such as thinking, planning, and decision-making, which are essential for processing conversational context and formulating responses.

Question 13

Match each term to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The location of communication between two neurons

Accepted Answer

The synapse is the location where communication occurs between two neurons.

Question 14

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The specific features of a speech signal that has been received auditorily (such as formant transitions, formant frequencies, and stop-consonant durations) are identified through analysis of the acoustic signal.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match each region of the nervous system...

Question 15

Match the potential site of lesion to the descriptor of pathology. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Deficit in pragmatics

Accepted Answer

The right hemisphere is often associated with deficits in pragmatics, which involve the use of language in social contexts and understanding non-literal language, such as metaphors and jokes.

Question 16

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The speaker organizes his idea into linguistic and phonological units in preparation for speech.

Accepted Answer

The premotor region, including the supplementary motor area and Broca's area, is involved in organizing and planning the motor aspects of speech, including linguistic and phonological processing.

Question 17

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-The speaker receives information from peripheral sensors concerning how high her soft palate is elevated and where her tongue is in her mouth.

Accepted Answer

The somatosensory receptive area (Brodmann 1) receives information from peripheral sensors concerning how high the soft palate is elevated and where the tongue is in the mouth.

Question 18

Match each region of the nervous system to the correct descriptor. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Auditory information that has been decoded by a listener's language processor is conveyed to the frontal lobe.

Accepted Answer

The arcuate fasciculus is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the language processing areas in the temporal lobe to the frontal lobe, facilitating the transfer of decoded auditory information for further processing and response.

Question 19

Match the potential site of lesion to the descriptor of pathology. Terms may be used more than once or not at all.
-Inability to comprehend jokes

Accepted Answer

The right hemisphere is often associated with processing non-literal language, including humor and jokes. Lesions here can lead to difficulties in understanding jokes.

Question 20
