Which of the following represents the flow of information for speech production?
A) Wernicke's area - posterior language area - sensory and motor association cortex
B) posterior language area - sensory memory cortex
C) sensory and motor association cortex - posterior language area - Broca's area
D) sensory memory cortex - Broca's area
E) Broca's area - sensory motor cortex

Question

Which of the following represents the flow of information for speech production?
A) Wernicke's area -> posterior language area -> sensory and motor association cortex
B) posterior language area -> sensory memory cortex
C) sensory and motor association cortex -> posterior language area -> Broca's area
D) sensory memory cortex -> Broca's area
E) Broca's area -> sensory motor cortex

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flow of information for speech production begins in the sensory and motor association cortex, which sends information to the posterior language area. From there, the information is sent to Broca's area, which is responsible for the production of speech. Therefore, sensory and motor association cortex -> posterior language area -> Broca's area is the correct sequence of information flow for speech production.
