The difference between acquired and congenital disabilities is:
-One is the result of a disease or accident well after birth, the other is present at birth
-One is associated with intellectual disability, the other is not
-One is hereditary, the other is not
-There is no difference, the terms can be used interchangeably - ANS ✔✔One is the result of a
disease or accident well after birth, the other is present at birth
The term 'apraxia' is a general term for a neurological condition in which:
-A patient cannot perform some action on command, but may be able to perform the action
perfectly in a spontaneous situation
-A patient has a limb that is mildly weak (small amount of paresis) but the motor problems
seem to be much worse than suggested by the mild weakness
-A patient has trouble with some sounds, but not others
-A patient loses motor control suddenly for brief periods of time, then regains it - ANS ✔✔A
patient cannot perform some action on command, but may be able to perform the action
perfectly in a spontaneous situation
According to your text, 'Fluent' vs. 'Nonfluent' is a classification system used for which type of
disorder?
-Aphasia
-Voice
-Apraxia
-Anomia - ANS ✔✔Aphasia
, When a patient has a stroke and they have an 'expressive language disorder' the type of aphasia
that best describes their symptoms is:
-Broca's aphasia
-Wernicke's aphasia
-Transcortical aphasia
-Right hemisphere damage - ANS ✔✔Broca's aphasia
When someone talks about the difference between anterior and posterior lesions in the left
hemisphere, they are talking about:
-The difference between language disorders of expression vs. comprehension
-The difference between hearing and seeing
-The difference between language disorders of dementia and language disorders of aphasia
-The difference between language dominance and reading - ANS ✔✔The difference between
language disorders of expression vs. comprehension
Why is conduction aphasia considered to be a "disconnection" aphasia?
-The brainstem is assumed to be disconnected from the motor cortex
-The left and right hemispheres are assumed to be disconnected
-Wernicke's and Broca's areas are assumed to be disconnected
-The parts of the frontal lobes responsible for planning are assumed to be disconnected from
the rest of the brain - ANS ✔✔Wernicke's and Broca's areas are assumed to be disconnected
When a person produces speech, the job of the respiratory system is to:
