- 1Chomsky's views on Languagelanguage is standard equipment for humans
- fully blown language is unique to humans - 2Language Acquisition Device- Mental Grammar Exists
(The brain must contain program that can build an unlimited set of sentences out of a finite list of words)
- Innate, Universal Grammar
(Children develop complex grammars rapidly and
without any formal instruction. Therefore they must be innately equipped with a plan common to all languages.) - 3Critical Period- time windows of rapid development such that a particular ability must be developed within this window or it will never be adequately developed
- 4FOXP2- gene, if missing one copy, linked to developmental verbal dyspraxia
- 5Procedural Vocal Learning- FOXP2 expressed in striatum
- knockout = disrupts song learning
- substitution = increase length and plasticity in striatum and faster procedural learning - 6Verbal Comprehension- receptive comprehension and decoding of language input
- perception - 7Verbal Fluency- expressive encoding and production of language output
- production - 8Broca's Aphasia w/ recurring utterances- "tan tan"
- however automatic speech (1,2,3...) active
- DAMAGE TO ARCUATE FASCICULUS - 9Broca's Aphasia- patients know what they want to say, but can't get it out
- agrammatism
- non-fluent aphasia - 10Wernicke's Aphasia- deficit in relationship between words and their meaning
- fluent aphasia - 11Sign Language aphasia- frontal LH: expressive
- temporal LH: receptive - 12Fluency Deficits/Lesions- production issues
- INSULA
- ARCUATE FASCICULUS - 13Comprehension Deficit/Lesions- perception issues
- MIDDLE TEMPORAL GYRUS
- DORSOLATERAL PRE-FRONTAL CORTEX - 14Broca's Aphasia of Speech with articulation deficits- DAMAGE TO INSULA
- 15Structural vs. Metabolic Deficits- A lesion in one location may impair processing at other locations.
- CT & Structural MRI not enough to know extent of processing damage.
- Often function will return in reduced metabolism regions w/o lesion - 16Language has a strong _H bias, Vision has a modest _H biasLeft Hemisphere- Language
Right Hemisphere- Vision - 17"Split Brain"- only objects on the right visual field can be expressed with language (go to the left hemisphere)
- objects can be manipulated properly with left hand for visual-spatial tasks (go to the right hemisphere) - 18WADA test- anesthetize left hemisphere
- felt an object
- couldn't say with words what the object was but could point it out in a picture because right hemisphere (visual) is still active
- establishes hemispheric dominance for language - 19LH/RH dominance for langauge- majority are LH dominant
- about 3% RH dominant - 20phonologysounds of speech
- 21semanticsmeaning of words
- 22syntaxgrammar
- rules that exist in our minds - 23phonemes- building blocks of speech
- 24formantsfrequency bands of high amplitude
- first 2 formants can be used to identify phoneme - 25to distinguish consonants- 2nd formant transition
- voice onset time - 26speech segmentation problem- can't tell where one phoneme ends and the next begins
- faced by non-native languages - 27speech phonology processingsuperior temporal sulcus
- 28McGurk Effect- Visual signals combine with auditory signals to produce speech percept
- 29word recognition process- lexical access (out of perceptual system activates word representations in mental lexicon)
- lexical selection- one best word is selected
- lexical integration (word is semantically and syntactically integrated with other words in sentence and discourse) - 30alexia without agraphia- can write but can't read
- 31Visual word form area- LH
- 32Dual-Route Reading Modelorthographic/direct route
- written word is recognized as visual word
form
assembled/indirect route
- graphemes (letters) converted to phonemes and recognized as auditory word form - 33Surface Dyslexia- overregularize pronunciation
--- heed for head; pretty; bowl (rhyme w/ jetty & howl)
- rely exclusively on Indirect Route
- visual Processing Problem - 34Deep or phonological Dyslexia-unable to read Pseudowords, no problem with
complex words
- rely exclusively on Direct Route - 35Semantic Network- meanings of words are stored as concepts in a connected network
- not strictly verbal but most concepts are closely tied to language - 36N400- ERP signal for Semantic Anomalies
- perception of anomalous words yields a negative response 400ms after word begins
- semantic--spreading butter with sock - 37LAN- left anterior negativity
- ERP response to Syntactic Violations
- syntactic-- spreading butter with at the sock - 38P600- ERP response for Syntactic Anomalies
- detected at parietal receding sites
SPS (syntactic positive shift)
- agreement errors: verb-subject
- garden path sentences: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana - 39Kanzi and Language- acquire vocabulary but lack complex grammar capabilities
- 40Recursion- only uniquely human component of faculty of language
- “There's a speck on the flea on the tail on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea”
