1. In the treatment of acute Wernicke's aphasia, the initial focus should be on:
A. Encouraging self-monitoring of the adequacy of verbal output
B. Increasing the rate of speech
C. Improving the client's ability to elaborate verbally
D. Increasing the complexity of sentence structures - ANSWER A
(Wernicke's aphasia results in deficits related to the ability to
recognize the adequacy of one's verbal production)
2. Wernicke's area is located:
A. Left posterior superior temporal gyrus
B. Left inferior frontal gyrus
C. Left superior frontal gyrus
D. Left inferior parietal gyrus - ANSWER A. Left posterior superior
temporal gyrus
3. Which of the following is the most important acoustic cue that distinguishes
between an unreleased final /p/ and an unreleased final /b/, as in "cap" vs
"cab"?
, A. Locus frequency of burst
B. Voice onset time
C. Vocal fundamental frequency
D. Duration of the preceding vowel - ANSWER D. Duration of the
preceding vowel
4. Research regarding the use of intensive phonemic-awareness treatment for
children who have difficulty learning to read has demonstrated that the
treatment:
A. is effective only for children from 4-8 years old
B. is effective mainly with children who have remediated all
phonological process errors
C. is effective only when combined with a supplemental literacy
program
D. might have no direct relationship to improvement in reading
abilities - ANSWER D (Intensive phonemic-awareness
treatment programs are thought to improve reading by training
children to better differentiate and process speech sounds.
However, to date, research hasn't successfully separated the
effects of intensive intervention, so no direct relationship has yet
been proven)
5. An SLP is planning treatment for a 5 year old child w/ multiple speech-
production errors. The most effective strategy the clinician can use to treat
the child is to:
, A. Arrange error sounds by developmental pattern and correct them
sound by sound
B. Start with sounds the child can make and use them as bridges to
error sounds
C. Teach sounds in isolation, then use nonsense syllables, and then
build to words
D. Delineate phonological processes in operation and address them
through minimal-contrast pairs - ANSWER D (The most
efficient procedure for the child would be for the SLP to define the
phonological processes in operation and address them through
minimal-contrast pairs)
6. Which of the following provides the most important diagnostic info to an
SLP making a differential diagnosis between childhood apraxia of speech
and flaccid dysarthria in a child?
A. The child's articulation performance at the sentence level
B. A history of the child's development of chewing, eating, and
swallowing
C. A history of the child's language development
D. The child's willingness to function in sociocommunicative events -
ANSWER B (A child w/ CAS doesn't have difficulties w/
chewing, eating, and swallowing, whereas a child w/ flaccid
dysarthria is likely to have such difficulties)
7. Control over the fundamental frequency of the laryngeal tone is most
closely related to the activity of which of the following muscles?
A. Posterior cricoarytenoid
B. Lateral cricoarytenoid
C. Cricothyroid
