Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics • Psycholinguistics: study of language acquisition, storage, comprehension, and production • Neurolinguistics: study of the neural and electrochemical bases of language development and use
Brain Architecture Right and left hemispheres Hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum Brain is covered by a membrane called the cortex Bumps on the brain are called gyri, depressions are fissures
Brain Architecture • Right and left hemispheres • Hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum • Brain is covered by a membrane called the cortex • Bumps on the brain are called gyri, depressions are fissures
Cortex areas o Auditory cortex: receives and identifies auditory signals; Converts them into forms understandable by other areas of the brain Visual cortex: receives and interprets visual stimuli Storage site for pictoral images Motor cortex: sends signals to muscles to make them move
Cortex Areas • Auditory cortex: receives and identifies auditory signals; Converts them into forms understandable by other areas of the brain • Visual cortex: receives and interprets visual stimuli; Storage site for pictoral images • Motor cortex: sends signals to muscles to make them move
