Document Summary
Type of problem to be addressed (basic vs applied) The complexity of psychology as a problem make it unlikely that the field will develop a unifying theory. The language gene the ke family story. A paper called an extended family with a dominantly inherited speech disorder . Multiple ke family members with an inherited speech disorder were referred to a specialized clinic. All family members were evaluated: there were two findings. Most tests did not distinguish impaired family members from unimpaired ones. Those that did involve the use of grammatical rules: wugs (gleason), endings and plurals. In the mind, there is something about these family members deficit in breaking the construct down in grammar it is not perceptual. Orofacial movements to command: animal sounds, click your tongue, close your left eye. Ke family members were examined using voxel-based morphometry: caudate nucleus. Abnormalities 25% smaller, size correlated with tests of oral praxis: inferior frontal gyrus.
