How have studies of brain damage among children and adults contributed to an understanding of the role of the brain in language development and processing?
What will be an ideal response?
Studies of children and adults who have experienced brain damage have identified specific areas of the brain associated with language competencies. For example, Broca's research found that the loss of speech production appeared to be the result of damage to the lower area of the left frontal lobe of the cerebrum. Additional research has further documented the localization of language functions in the brain.
