Question

Rosemary had a stroke about a year ago and now she cannot understand what people are saying to her. This is embarrassing for her, so she responds using vague language and tries to make it appear as though she understands. Which area of Rosemary’s brain was likely damaged by the stroke?A. Wernicke's areaB. occipital cortexC. prefrontal cortexD. Broca's area

Answer 1

Answer:A. Wernicke's area

Explanation:Wernicke's area is the region of the brain which is crucial for developing langauge abilities. It is found in the temporal lobe on the left part of the brain and it allows someone to understand the speech.

Broca's area on the other side is responsible for producing speech.

When Wernicke's area is damaged one own langay development would be seriously impaired .

This lead to a disorder know as Wernicke's Aphasia , where a person speak meaningless words
