Question

1. True or False:

There is a spatial division of labor in the brain, such that pathways in the ventral part (forward and lower) process mostly patterns and stored knowledge ('what' knowledge) and pathways in the dorsal part (to the back and higher) process mostly rules and procedures ('how' knowledge).

2. Which of the following 'design features of human language' by Charles Hockett corresponds most closely to what we have called 'modules of combinatorial grammar' ?

a. duality of patterning

b.discreeteness

c.arbitrariness

d. learnability

Explanation / Answer

1. True or False:

There is a spatial division of labor in the brain, such that pathways in the ventral part (forward and lower) process mostly patterns and stored knowledge ('what' knowledge) and pathways in the dorsal part (to the back and higher) process mostly rules and procedures ('how' knowledge).

ANSWER- FALSE

EXPLANATION - the frontal lobes functions are concentration, thinking, behavior, movement and problem-solving.

while the function of the dorsal part is coordination( pattern of movement)

2. Which of the following 'design features of human language' by Charles Hockett corresponds most closely to what we have called 'modules of combinatorial grammar'?

ANSWER- (a) Duality of Patterning

EXPLANATION- example for duality of patterning - combining breakfast and lunch into- brunch
