Q1
A neuropsychology clinic assesses a patient with a left inferior frontal lesion. The patient’s speech is effortful and agrammatic (e.g., “Walk… dog… yesterday”), but comprehension of simple sentences is relatively preserved. The clinician is interested in how language production constraints might alter performance on a planning task that requires covert verbal labeling (e.g., silently naming steps). The clinician frames the question using Vygotsky’s view of inner speech, in which internalized language supports self-regulation and problem solving. Based on this theory, which outcome is most likely?
