- Aparietal lobe
- Boccipital-temporal
2The multifunction region spanning the upper [blank_start]temporal lobes[blank_end] and the lower, adjacent [blank_start]parietal lobes[blank_end], we recruit additional areas that help to process multiple elements of sounds and meanings, which are particularly important for alphabetic and syllabary systems.
- Atemporal lobes
- Bparietal lobes
3In a child’s brain, unlike an adult’s, the first large activation area covers far more territory in the [blank_start]occipital lobes[blank_end] (i.e., visual & visual association areas).
- Aoccipital lobes
4Recently, neuroscientists at Washington University found that children use more of several specific regions than adults do, particularly the [blank_start]angular gyrus[blank_end] and [blank_start]supra marginal gyrus[blank_end], which are two important structures for integrating phonological processes with visual, orthographic, and semantic processes
- Aangular gyrus
- Bsupra marginal gyrus
5What region of the brain is considered the "Reading Region?"
- Asupra marginal gyrus
- Bangular gyrus
6Non-literate brains handle reading in the [blank_start]frontal lobe[blank_end]—area of executive functioning—where is attention required.
- Afrontal lobe
7Literate readers light up areas in the [blank_start]temporal lobe[blank_end]—the listening lobe.
- Atemporal lobe
8Nature’s best conductive material, [blank_start]myelin[blank_end], consists of fatty sheathing warped around the cell’s axons.
