Sequencing muscles of speech (articulation problems), ability to sequence speech in appropriate grammatical sequences. Speech comprehension: begins in auditory system first step is recognition, recognition is complex percetual task relying on memory of sequence of sounds, found in upper part of left temporal lobe in auditory cortex . Isolated aphasia (damage to temporal/parietal region) deficit in comprehension of others and meaningful speech production but ability to recognize speech (repeat sentences) Zola popcorn: sheds light on development of mental model, reading may involve two types of memory use memory to discern meaning of words and retain a memory for mental model we construct. Singer and ritchot suggest these are two separate abilities and make independent contributions to reading efficiency. Recognition of written word is complex perceptual task. Once word has been perceived recognition of its pronunciation and meaning takes place. Phonologically long or unfamiliar words are sounded out. Meaning of words is learned through experience.
