Question

According to the Wernicke-Litchheim-Geschwind model, individuals with damage to the left inferior frontal lobe tend to have more difficulty with ________, whereas individuals with damage to the left posterior temporal lobe tend to have more difficulty with ________.

Answer 1

According to the Wernicke-Litchheim-Geschwind model, individuals with damage to the left inferior frontal lobe tend to have more difficulty with speaking, whereas individuals with damage to the left posterior temporal lobe tend to have more difficulty with speech detection and understanding

Answer 2

The correct fill in the blanks are production of the language for the first blank and perception of the language for the second blank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl Wernicke created an early neurological model of language, that later was revived by Norman Geschwind. The model is known as the Wernicke–Geschwind model.

• For listening to and understanding spoken words, the sounds of the words are sent through the auditory pathways to the primary auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus).
• In order to speak, the meanings of words are sent from Wernicke's area via the arcuate fasciculus to Broca's area, where morphemes are assembled.
• In order to read, information concerning the written text is sent from visual areas to the angular gyrus and from there to Wernicke's area.

Thus the correct fill in the blanks are production of the language for the first blank and perception of the language for the second blank. This is due to the fact that the inferior frontal lobe is tasked mainly for the production of the language while the posterior temporal lobe is for the perception of the language.
