Acute temporal lesions are associated with phonological word verification errors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Within the dual stream model for language, the bilateral dorsal superior temporal gyrus (STG) is associated with spectro-temporal analysis while the mid-post superior temporal sulcus is associated with processing of higher-level phonological codes. However, the true lateralization of functions needed for phonological discrimination at the word level remains unsettled. The aim of the present work was to determine if individuals with acute stroke primarily involving the left STG and middle temporal gyrus (MTG) demonstrated poorer discrimination (d') between phonologically related words in a word-picture verification task than those with left hemisphere lesions outside the temporal lobe and compared to those with right hemisphere stroke. The latter would support a le
