Question
nonfluent aphasia, due to a lesion in the ____, results in slow speech, difficulty in choosing words, or use of words that only approximate the correct word.
multiple choice
primary motor area
cerebral lateralization
broca area
wernicke area
primary auditory area
Broca's area is associated with speech production. Lesions here lead to non - fluent aphasia (also known as Broca's aphasia), characterized by slow speech, word - finding difficulties, and using approximate words. The primary motor area controls voluntary muscle movements. Cerebral lateralization is the concept of brain hemisphere specialization. Wernicke's area is for language comprehension (lesions cause fluent aphasia with nonsensical speech). The primary auditory area processes sound.
