Jodi’s grandfather recently had a stroke. He now experiences trouble with speaking and reading books and magazines. He is also showing impairments in spatial tasks, although not as severe as the language deficits. However, he is able to pick up the meaning in most stories he hears and, although he has problems singing, he still catches on to song melodies. Where was Jodi’s grandfather’s stroke?

Answer:

in the left hemisphere

Step-by-step explanation:

Jodi's grandfather had a stroke and it left him with several impairments in his body.

He has problems in singing and speaking properly. He cannot read any books and magazines. he also has impairments in spatial tasks such as remembering and reasoning.

Though he is able to pick up some meanings in most of the stories he hears and he still catches on to the song melodies.

Thus all this proves that the left hemisphere of the brain is affected by the stroke because the left part of the brain is responsible for logical and verbal function and thoughts.

Thus the answer is --

in the left hemisphere
