Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

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 Development01:22

Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...
Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

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.
Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

This lesson explores key terms that describe how diseases progress, their outcomes, and their distribution in populations.Diagnostic tests identify diseases and monitor treatment. These include blood and urine tests, biopsies, imaging (X-ray, MRI), and detection of infectious agents.Remission is a reduction or disappearance of symptoms.Exacerbation refers to the worsening of symptoms, such as increased wheezing during an asthma attack.A precipitating factor triggers an acute episode, while a...

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Audiology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Educational Research

    Background:

    • Persistent otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common childhood condition.
    • OME can cause fluctuating hearing loss, potentially affecting language development and academic outcomes.
    • Systematic research is needed to understand these long-term effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose methods for studying the short-term and long-term effects of persistent OME on language and educational achievement.
    • To identify key language processing aspects (phonological, lexical) affected by OME-related hearing loss.
    • To explore interacting factors (developmental time, hearing loss severity, SES, cognitive ability) influencing OME outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed examination of phonological categorization, rules, and lexical retrieval in children with persistent OME.
    • Discussion of factors interacting with OME, including developmental timing, hearing loss characteristics, socioeconomic status, and cognitive competence.
    • Proposal of cross-lag panel designs and regional studies for comprehensive investigation.

    Main Results:

    • Highlights specific language processing areas vulnerable to OME-induced hearing deficits.
    • Identifies critical interacting variables that modulate the impact of OME.
    • Suggests research designs to disentangle complex relationships and inform interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Systematic study designs are crucial for understanding the multifaceted effects of persistent OME.
    • Intervention planning requires knowledge of how OME interacts with other developmental and environmental factors.
    • Proposed methodologies will aid in developing targeted educational support for affected children.
