Answer 1

Miguel will likely have difficulty with language production due to damage in Broca's area, resulting in Broca's aphasia.

Step-by-step explanation:

After Miguel's recent automobile accident, doctors detected damage to his cerebral cortex in Broca's area. It is likely that Miguel will have difficulty with producing language and forming meaningful speech, known as an aphasia. People who suffer damage to Broca's area often experience a significant impairment in their ability to produce language across both spoken and written forms. Although their understanding of language might remain intact, and they can follow directions, their verbal expression is typically hindered. For example, they might be able to read, but they struggle to write and speak. The deficits Miguel may face are a result of Broca's aphasia, which is associated with damage to the frontal lobe of the brain that affects language production.

Explanation: Broca’s area is known to be important for speech production.

The broca's area is responsible for coordinating the transformation of information processing involved in spoken word production. Therefore, Miguel's accident is likely to lead to a speech impediment.
