RE: what are the brain functions

Ok I think I see the problem, I was coping over Cross-modal Association to sign language section and edited it in the literacy section - good call!

All the best

Hi EA,

Thanks for the review


I think I have called  grapheme-phoneme correspondence (GPC) --  Cross-modal Association: Association of sign and concept which I put under litarcy

This is exactly why I thought we needed this so we can use the  terms. I will add grapheme-phoneme correspondence (GPC) as an alternive way of saying Cross-modal Association


I will also add your info on Broca's area (mainly because it is so interesting...)

All the best and thanks again

Lisa

I just noticed that there was no "grapheme-phoneme correspondence (GPC) — 


the relationship between sounds and the letters which represent those sounds; also known as 'letter-sound correspondences'" which is something we often talk about when discussing dyslexia but I may have missed the fact that is included within other terms. http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/resources/practical_resources_info/1032_phonics_glossary 
 
Just another thought... I learnt that Broca's area was mainly in the left temporal lobe rather than being categorised as part of the occipital lobe http://memory.ucsf.edu/brain/language/disorders but obviously the experts on MD health have other ideas!!!! We may also have to include other aspects of what is linked to Broca's area http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2703472/ but perhaps we then go into the realms of giving too much information. 
 
I found this image of the brain and a rather interesting take on the whole idea of how the systems work http://www.beneaththecover.com/2007/10/31/surprising-broca/ - not for W3C but just for a small digression!

Subject: what are the brain functions 
 
Hi 
 
I put up a very early draft of different brain functions. It  could turn into iether a glossary or a background resource for making meta data that relates to cognitive disabilities or for a functional approach to accessibility for cognitive. 
 
See http://accessibility.athena-ict.com/cognativefunction.shtml 
 
Do people think it could be useful? Feel free to point put ommisions or other comments. Please ignore any editorial and spelling errors 
All the best
