Could a patient with damage to a language area such as Broca's or Wernicke's area still be able to perform the stylus maze task without impairment or difficulty? And if not, where could they have a lesion that would not affect their ability to perform the task?

Aphasia is the loss of the ability to understand speech or communicate using language. ... Broca's aphasia results from damage to a part of the brain called Broca's area, which is located in the frontal lobe, usually on the left side. It's one of the parts of the brain responsible for speech and for motor movement. Language development or usage can be seriously impaired by damage to Wernicke's area of the brain. When this area of the brain is damaged, a disorder known as Wernicke's aphasia can result, with the person being able to speak in phrases that sound fluent yet lack meaning.When a stroke affects the temporal lobe, situated at ear level and underneath both the parietal and frontal lobes, it can produce language problems known as aphasia (difficulty understanding speech, verbalizing thoughts, reading, or writing). Memory loss also is a common consequence of a stroke in the temporal lobe.

An area on the Colorado River is subject to periodic flood damage that occurs, on the average, every two years (i.e., probability of flooding in any year is 0.5) and results in a $2,200,000 loss. It has been proposed that the river channel be improved by straightening and deepening it at a cost of$2,400,000, to reduce the annual probability of flooding to 0.364 during a period of 18 years before it would have to be deepened again. This procedure would...
