The primary somatosensory cortex is not involved in the pathway for repeating a heard word. This pathway typically involves the auditory cortex (where sounds are initially processed), Wernicke's area (involved in understanding spoken language), Broca's area (involved in speech production), and the primary motor cortex (controls the muscles involved in speech). The primary somatosensory cortex, however, is involved in processing sensory information from the body, which is not directly involved in the process of repeating heard words.
