Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies of patients with conduction aphasia have shown that they have difficulty repeating words that are spoken to them, even though they understand the meaning of these words. This suggests that there is a breakdown in the neural pathway that connects the sounds of words (as heard in the temporal lobe) with their meaning (as processed in the parietal lobe). Therefore, there must be different neural paths for sounds and for meanings of words.
