Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cognitive neuroscience approach to the study of language emphasizes that specific cognitive processes involved in language are localized in specific areas of the brain (answer choice A), but these areas are not dedicated solely to language processing (answer choice B). Instead, they may also be involved in other cognitive processes such as attention or working memory. The approach does not suggest that language is controlled by one large homogeneous area of the cortex, as suggested in answer choice C. Therefore, the best choice is E, which includes the correct explanations for choices A and B.
