Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor aprosodia refers to a difficulty in producing the appropriate intonation or expression during speech. This is thought to be associated with damage to the right hemisphere of the brain, which is involved in processing prosody (the melody and rhythm of speech). While Broca's area in the left hemisphere is important for language production, damage to this region would not necessarily lead to motor aprosodia. The frontal orbital cortex is not typically associated with motor aprosodia. Damage to the temporal lobe in the left hemisphere may result in receptive aprosodia (difficulty understanding the emotional tone of speech), but not motor aprosodia.
