Do you know where words are stored in your brain?
In your temral lobe!
As you know your brain has two sides connected by the corpus calsum. So you have one temral lobe on each side of the brain.
If you are right-handed, your language is stored mostly in your left temral lobe. If you are left-handed, you are not so latalized and your language is stored a bit on both sides of your brain in the temral lobes.
Words in the brain are not stored randomly. They seemed to be quite organized. Research has shown that words that are often heard together or words that share some meaning are connected or assoated in the brain. Once you hear one, the other is activated.
Here is a brain exercise whose aim is to stimlate the connections or assoations between words in your temral lobe.
In the left column you have a pair of words. Your goal is to find a third word that is connected or assoated with both of these two words.
The first pair is PIANO and LOCK. The answer is KEY. The word key is connected with both the word piano and the word lock: there are KEYS on a piano and you use a KEY to lock doors.
Key is what is called a homograph: a word that has more than one meaning but is always spelled the same.
1. LOCK PIANO
2. SHIP CARD
3. TREE CAR
4. SCHOOL EYE
5. PILLOW COURT
6. RIVER MONEY
7. BED PAPER
8. ARMY WATER
9. TENNIS NOISE
10. EGYPTIAN MOTHER
11. SMOKER PLUMBER
