Broca's Area


The area of the brain, located on the left cerebral hemisphere's frontal lobe, that helps to control speech. Named after the French surgeon Paul Broca (1824-1880)


Word Finding Exercise Rules 

This exercise helps with repairing word-finding abilities and articulation, as well as expanding limited concepts. For this exercise, write down ten words, such as "up," "mad" and "bright." Then, ask for the opposite of the word. For instance, you would ask, "What is the opposite of up?" You would then reply with "down." This exercise can increase in difficulty, with concepts increasing in complexity as the sufferer's tolerance strengthens. For instance, try "frustration" and "joy."


Broca's Aphasia
This exercise is originally use for people with Broca's Aphasia, which is a condition where the brain is injured during a traumatic accident. The person with Broca's Aphasia find it difficult to articulate and find the words to say.

My Take on the Exercise
This exercise was fun to do. You learn how smart, and how smart you wish you were with your everyday vocabulary. This could be a great exercise for the kids in case you wanna see what their really learning in class. This is also a great exercise in general for finding the right word and articulation.  

Do about 40 words all-together and focus on using the Broca's area of the brain for development.
