โ Language & CommunicationAn individual with damage to Broca's area attempts to describe a complex event โ which consequence follows?
A)Rapid speech rate increases noticeably
B)Agrammatic speech with function word omissionโ
C)Semantic paraphasias markedly increase output
D)Auditory comprehension rapidly and suddenly declines
๐ก Explanation
Damage to Broca's area impairs syntactic planning during speech production, resulting in agrammatic speech because sentence structure is simplified and function words are often omitted. Therefore, agrammatic speech is the outcome, rather than semantic errors or comprehension deficits which are linked to Wernicke's area.
