Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

4.0K
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Language and Cognition

918
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Learning Disabilities

693
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Aphasia, a communication disorder post-stroke, affects individuals differently.
  • Understanding racial-ethnic variations in aphasia outcomes is crucial for equitable care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate aphasia outcomes.
  • To determine if language profiles differ across racial-ethnic groups.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed data from AphasiaBank.
  • 381 persons with aphasia (PWA), including 339 white and 42 black individuals, were included.
  • The Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R) assessed language function.

Main Results:

  • Black PWA demonstrated significantly lower scores in word fluency and auditory comprehension compared to white PWA, even after adjusting for age and education.
  • Specific deficits included auditory word recognition and comprehension of sequential commands.

Conclusions:

  • Racial-ethnic differences in word fluency and auditory comprehension among PWA were identified.
  • These disparities necessitate tailored treatment approaches to enhance communication for all individuals with aphasia.
