ASLS 266 Name: Lindsey Weaver Assignment: Chapter 3 Directions: Choose one of the “Learn More About It” items and answer the associated question prompt based on information/examples from the video . You can use your lecture notes and textbook to provide supplementary information. For the outline supporting details, jot down ideas. These should not be complete sentences. Question Prompt: How do Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas contribute to forming, producing, and understanding language? Outline : Topic Sentence: In Moti Lieberman’s “Language and the Brain” Youtube video, he discusses how Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas in the brain work together to form, produce, and understand language. Supporting Details: 1. Broca’s area- putting sentences together, decode logical meaning of phrases and sentences 2. Wernicke’s area- librarian of language, storage, where you start when you want to talk 3. Arcuate fasciculus- nerve fibers in between Broca’s and Wernicke’s. This connection is very important. 4. We are able to see this through two methods of measuring- fMRI and EEG Concluding Sentence: Expressive and receptive communication are very involved activities; however, humans are able to streamline these processes by effectively using Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas. Final Paragraph : In Moti Lieberman’s “Language and the Brain” Youtube video, he discusses how Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas in the brain work together to form, produce, and understand language. Broca’s area is responsible for syntactic structure and decoding meaning of phrases and sentences. Wernicke’s area involves word storage and grammatical processing. These two areas are consistently communicating via nerve fibers, called arcuate fasciculus. This connection allows the two parts to transfer information that is necessary for expressive and receptive language. When forming and producing language, Wernicke’s area decides what sounds for

ASLS 266 words are needed and then sent to Broca’s area to arrange and pronounce. When understanding language, Wernicke’s area matches words and visuals to stored memory and Broca’s area allows individuals to decipher the meaning of the given stimuli. There are two main methods of measuring these processes, which are fMRI (functional magnetic imaging) and EEG (electroencephalogram). The fMRI allows researchers to see which part of the brain is responding and the EEG gives information about the sequencing of neurological events during a language task. Expressive and receptive communication are very involved activities; however, humans are able to streamline these processes by effectively using Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas. References Lieberman, M.
