Pulvermuller: Brain's language
Abstract
Pulvermuller's Hebbian model implies that an impairment in the word
form system will affect phonological articulation and
phonological comprehension, because there is only a single
representation. Clinical evidence from patients with word-form deafness
demonstrates a dissociation between input and output phonologies. These
data suggest that auditory comprehension and articulatory production
depend on discrete phonological representations localized in different
cortical networks.
