Broca's area: This part is believed to work together with Motor Cortex, which is believed that it is functioned to process lexical and phonology. For patients who cannot speak but still can understand may have their brain damage on this part.
Wernicke's area: This part is for processing speech sounds. Patients who suffer speech comprehension may have lesions on this part.
Motor Cortex: It controls the mouth and lips for producing physical production of speech.
Auditory Cortex: Receives signals from the inner part of the ear and transmits temporal of reference for the data that it receives.
How do we first learned languages?
- According to this question, Noam Chomsky believed that we were born with a devices that gives us the ability to learn and understand languages and it is called Language Acquisition Device (LAD). But some researchers such as Skinner argue that we were born with blank slate but we learned languages by hearing others repeating the sounds. This is the differences of two factors which is biological factor and environmental factor but although, both of the factors said that most of humans first learn languages at the age of 5.
I learned that our brains are seperated in many parts so that each part can do their job. This is a good thing because if our brain are damage, it doesn't affects the whole thing. I believe in biological factor more than the environmental factor because if we didn't have the function to deal with languages, no humans would be able to communicate. In environmental factor said that we learn from sound repeating which means that people we heard it from may have the function that can deal with languages. And I enjoy reading from infographic more than paragraphs because infographic is quite simple. It was summarize and put with pictures that can help us a lot in understanding better. You can look at more information on the infographic below, it was written very simple and clear. I hope this article is helpful for you, enjoy.
