6. What does the double dissassociation between sentence planning and articulatory processing suggest?
They are distinct processes mediated by adjacent brain areas in the left inferior frontal region and are often damaged together
They are distinct processes mediated by adjacent brain areas in the left anterior frontal region and are often damaged together
They are not distinct processes mediated by the same brain areas in the left inferior frontal region and are often damaged together
They are not distinct processes mediated by the same brain areas in the left anterior frontal region and are often damaged together
7. Which of these symptoms did patient TAN NOT suffer from?
Impaired understanding of writen and spoken words
Problems initiating speech
Problems creating complex sentences
Syntactic grammar problems
8. What is a comorbid symptom of agrammatism?
Issues in understanding complex sentences (suggesting shared processes between production and comprehension)
Issues in producing complex sentences (suggesting shared processes between production and comprehension)
Issues in understanding complex sentences (suggesting no shared processes between production and comprehension)
Issues in producing complex sentences (suggesting no shared processes between production and comprehension)
9. Although not a discrete split, in the left/right brain dichotomy what is the left brain responsible for?
For subtle aspects of language such as metaphors, aswell as sensory input from the left and left-sided movement. Also responsible for visuo-spatial attention.
Most aspects of language processing, aswell as sensory input from the right and right-sided movement.

10. Which area is primarily responsible for processing the structure of sentences, damage to it would result in agrammatism?
Anterior temporal lobe
Auditory cortex
Brocas area (left inferior frontal gyrus)
Brocas area (right inferior frontal gyrus)
11. What characterises brocas aphasia?
Speech is difficult to initiate, faulty articulation. Meaning dependent on syntax is impaired, may only be able to produce a single word.
Speech is difficult to initiate, faulty articulation. Semantic meaning access is impaired, multimodal comprehension is normal

13. Which of these specific structures do agrammatic patients NOT struggle with?
Verbs
Inflectional endings
Word order and sentence structure
Function words
14. What are aphasias?
Disorders of speaking and listening caused by stroke, tumour, brain injury.
Progressive, degenerative diseases causing a loss of motor control (and subsequently language) over time
Progressive, degenerative diseases causing a loss of language over time
Disorders of language acquired genetically and arising in later stages of development
15. To understand spoken words, which areas lie on the ventral route?
Auditory cortex to the anterior temporal lobe
Inferior temporal lobe to the auditory cortex
Auditory cortex to the inferior temporal lobe
Anterior temporal lobe to the auditory cortex
16. What is agrammatism?
An inability in converting sentences into thoughts, particularly the ability to construct around the noun
An inability in converting thoughts into sentences, particularly the ability to construct around the verb
An inability in converting sentences into thoughts, particularly the ability to construct around the verb
An inability in converting thoughts into sentences, particularly the ability to construct around the noun
17. Which of these skills is the left hemisphere NOT specialised for?
Adapting to differences between speakers
Extracting speech sounds (phonemes) from speech
Phoneme awareness
Distinguishing phonemes that require fine perceptual analysis
18. What is dementia?
Disorder of speaking and listening caused by stroke, tumour, brain injury.
Progressive, degenerative disease which can affect speech and language over time
Disorder of language acquired genetically and arising in later stages of development
Caused by a lack of cognitive reserve, dementia is a progressive degenerative brain disorder that only affects general executive functioning
