Based on the evidence from recordings of single neurons in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex in rodents by Nobel Laureates John O'Keefe, May-Brit Moser and Edvard Moser, one would predict that patients like H.M.

a. short term memory

40b. Which of the following sentences would a person with Broca’s aphasia be most likely to NOT understand?

a. "The shirt that Ben bought yesterday is too small for him."

b. "The horse ran past the house at very high speed"

c. "The cat was scratched by the dog needed medical attention."

d. people with Broca's aphasia would nto be likely to misunderstand any of these sentences because they have only speech production deficits

Explanation / Answer

40a. e) semantic memory

Bilateral medial temporal lobe is associated with long term memory. Since this lobe was removed, long term memory is affected. Semantic memory is long term memory.

40b. d) People with Broca's aphasia would not likely misunderstand any of these sentences because they have only speech production deficits.

Broc's aphasia affects only speech where the affected person might omit small words in the sentences while speaking.
