D) less activation of Broca's area, Wernicke's area and the angular gyrus than typical readers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Imaging studies have shown that individuals with dyslexia exhibit greater activation of Broca's area and less activation of Wernicke's area and the angular gyrus than typical readers. This suggests that individuals with dyslexia have difficulty with phonological processing, which is typically associated with Broca's area, and with semantic processing, which is typically associated with Wernicke's area and the angular gyrus.
