Motorium

Yet this connection between the sensorium and the motorium is not yet stable, for there follows not seldom upon a command distinctly uttered, and without doubt correctly understood, the wrong movement -- paramimy. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)

The connecting paths between the sound-center and the syllable-center, and of both these with the speech motorium, are not yet or not easily passable; but the imitation of a single sound, be it only _a_, can not take place without the mediation of the cerebral cortex. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)

I have above designated, as the chief difficulty for the child in the formation of words, the establishment of a connection between the central storehouse for sense-impressions -- i. e., the sensory centers of higher rank -- with the intercentral path of connection between the center-for-sounds and the speech-motorium. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)

The paths _d_ and _i_, and consequently the centro-motorium M, come chiefly into consideration here; but L also is concerned, so far as from it comes the motor impulse to make a sound audible through M. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)

In the various forms of this condition there is injury or lack of sufficient relative development either in the centro-motorium M or in the paths that lead into it, _d_, _e_, _f_ as well as _i_, _l_, _n_. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)

The sensorium and motorium of these cognitive systems will be the infrastructure of the world. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The causes of the slowness of the progress in expressing in articulate words what is understood and desired, on the part of normal children, is not, however, to be attributed, as it has often been, to a slower development of the expressive motor mechanism, but must be looked for in the difficulty of establishing the connection of the various central storehouses of sense-impressions with the intercentral path of connection between the acoustic speech-centers and the speech-motorium. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)

Thus in the very first attempt to repeat something heard there exists an unquestionable advance in brain development; and the first successful attempt of this kind proves not merely the augmented functional ability of the articulatory apparatus and of the sound-center, and the practicability of the impressive paths that lead from the ear to the sound-center -- it proves, above all, the establishment of intercentral routes that lead from the sound-center and the syllable-center to the motorium. ❋ William T. Preyer (1869)
