Wernicke–Geschwind model
Last updated
The Wernicke–Geschwind model is an early neurological framework for language processing, revived by Norman Geschwind from Carl Wernicke's original work. It organizes language into two basic functions: comprehension (sensory/perceptual) and speaking (motor). Although now obsolete, the model has guided research by proposing specific pathways for listening, speaking, and reading.
