Full Description
This exam focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying language processing in the brain. Key theoretical principles include the roles of various brain regions such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area in language production and comprehension.
Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for advancing theories in linguistics and neuropsychology. Insights gained can impact cognitive science, informing interventions for language disorders, and enhancing our understanding of the relationship between language and thought.
The exam will assess the verbal articulation of concepts relating to brain functions and their implications for linguistic theory. Students will demonstrate their ability to explain complex neurobiological processes as they relate to language.
Candidates are encouraged to discuss various neuroimaging techniques, such as fMRI and EEG, and their contributions to understanding language processing.
Sample Questions
- What are the roles of Broca's area and Wernicke's area in language processing?
- How can neuroimaging techniques enhance our understanding of language functions in the brain?
