Unit 2.1 DB Aphasia - Sarah and Byron

Q Watch the videos provided in readings and resources. Explain how the symptoms of Sarah Scott and Byron Peterson help us to identify the areas of the brain responsible for linguistic processing. How does our study of aphasia help to trace the workings of the brain as it engages in auditory processing and decoding of incoming messages, and formulation and production of outgoing messages? Describe a treatment or intervention for a stroke patient from one scholarly article you have researched to share with the class.

Both the videos have been informative and interesting to know the effects of brain injury on speech and linguistic processing. In the video, Sarah Scott suffers from Broca’s aphasia after the stroke. We learned that Broca’s aphasia is caused by damage to the brain’s premotor area that responsible in part for controlling our motor commands that are used in speech production (Owens, 2020).
