Fela is a third-grade student in a public school. She is a speaker of African American
Vernacular English (AAVE) who has difficulty with the Standard American English (SAE)
dialect used in her classroom. Her teacher believes that Fela's language skills are affecting
her academic performance and has referred her to the school's speech-language
pathologist. Which of the following is an appropriate rationale for providing language
intervention for Fela?
Select all that apply.

This investigation was motivated by observations that when persons with dysarthria
increase loudness, their speech improves. Some studies have indicated that this
improvement may be related to an increase of prosodic variation. Studies have reported an
increase of fundamental frequency (F0) variation with increased loudness, but there has
been no examination of the relation of loudness manipulation to specific prosodic variables
that are known to aid a listener in parsing out meaningful information. This study
examined the relation of vocal loudness production to selected acoustic variables known to
inform listeners of phrase and sentence boundaries: specifically, F0 declination and final-
word lengthening. Ten young, healthy women were audio-recorded while they read aloud a
paragraph at what each considered normal loudness, twice-normal loudness, and half-
normal loudness. Results showed that there was a statistically significant increase of F0
declination, brought about by a higher resetting of F0 at the beginning of a sentence and an
increase of final-word lengthening from the half-normal loudness condition to the twice-
normal loudness condition. These results suggest that when some persons with dysarthria
increase loudness, variables related to prosody may change, which in turn contributes to
improvement in communicative effectiveness. However, until this procedure is tested with
individuals who have dysarthria, it is uncertain whether a similar effect would be observed.
Which of the following represent(s) the independent variable or variables used in the
Watson and Hughes study?
,A. Prosody of dysarthric speech
B. F0 declination and final-word lengthening
C. Vocal loudness
D. Speech intelligibility and communicative effectiveness - C. Vocal loudness
A client exhibits weakness, atrophy, and fasciculation's of the right side of the tongue and
lower face. The client also has right vocal-fold weakness and nasal regurgitation of fluid
when swallowing. These problems are the result of damage to which part of the nervous
system?
A. Brain stem
B. Cerebellum
C. Left cerebral cortex
D. Right cerebral cortex - A. Brain stem
- Weakness, atrophy, fasciculation's, and the other described symptoms are all consistent
with lower motor neurone locus and suspected cranial nerve abnormalities, which emerge
directly from the brainstem.
Hearing loss in infants who are born with a cleft palate is usually related to which of the
following?
A. The infant's ability to create positive pressure in the oral cavity
B. Malformation of the middle-ear ossicles associated with malformation of the palate
C. Eustachian tube dysfunction
D. Cochlear dysfunction - C. Eustachian tube dysfunction
- Eustachian tube dysfunction, a major factor contributing to middle-ear disease and
conductive hearing loss, is nearly universal in infants with cleft palate
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 versus cab?
A. Locus frequency of burst
B. Voice onset time
C. Vocal fundamental frequency
D. Duration of the preceding vowel - D. Duration of the preceding vowel
- vowel duration influences a listener's perception of voicing
- vowels that precede unreleased voiced stop consonants are as much as 1.5x as long as
vowels that precede voiceless stops
Language intervention for a child at the one-word stage should be most strongly influenced
by a consideration of the child's
A. motor skills
B. cognitive skills
C. syntactic skills
D. articulation skills - B. cognitive skills
,- the cognitive skills at the one-word stage will most strongly influence the child's speech-
language responses
A single exposure of several hours duration to continuous music with an overall level of
100 dB SPL will most likely produce
A.tinnitus and a temporary threshold shift in high frequencies
B.tinnitus and a distortion of speech perception
C.a temporary threshold shift in the low frequencies
D.a permanent threshold shift - A. tinnitus and a temporary threshold shift in high
frequencies
After sustaining a CVA, Ms. Williams, age 75, was referred to an SLP for a speech and
language evaluation. While Ms. Williams was describing the cookie-theft picture, the SLP
observed that her grammatical structure appeared to be intact and her prosody was
normal but that many of her sentences were meaningless, did not fit the context, and
included nonsensical paraphasic errors. Additional testing also revealed that Ms. Williams
exhibited poor repetition and naming skills, did not respond appropriately to many simple
commands, and had difficulty reading. Ms. Williams appeared happy and talked excessively.
She did not appear to be aware of her communication deficits. What is the most likely
location of the lesion?
A.Left posterior superior temporal gyrus
B.Left inferior frontal gyrus
C.Left superior frontal gyrus
D.Left inferior parietal gyrus - A. Left posterior superior temporal gyrus
An SLP who is treating an adolescent who stutters designs a treatment plan that includes
three fluency management strategies: prolonged speech, cancellation, and pullout.
Which of the following is true about the use of these treatment strategies?
Select all that apply.
A.Use of prolonged speech is likely to reduce the frequency of part-word repetitions and
sound prolongations significantly.
B.Each of the three strategies entails deliberate regulation of speech motor movements.
C.The client will seek to apply cancellation whenever he feels anxious about the possibility
of stuttering overtly.
D.The client will seek to apply pullout during the course of part-word repetition or sound
prolongation. - A, B, D
A 12-year-old native speaker of Spanish who has been studying English as a second
language for three years is most likely to do which of the following when speaking English
in casual conversation with teachers at school?
, A. Use the auxiliary "have" in place of "be" in progressive tenses
B. Use incorrect word order with prepositional phrases
C. Use conjunctions in place of prepositions
D. Use multiple negation improperly - D. Use multiple negation improperly
- Multiple negation is a grammatical feature of Spanish but not English
A prospective client is described as a man in his forties who is under chronic stress. He uses
his voice extensively in daily life, has a hard-driving personality, and exhibits glottal fry.

C. spectrographic analysis of it reveals no discernible formants for the vowels
D. most people can produce longer utterances per breath using it than they can using
conventional phonation - B. it is composed largely of aperiodic sounds
- whispered speech is composed largely of aperiodic sounds, as the vocal folds do not
vibrate while whispering is taking place
Which of the following will most effectively control the problem of over referral in school
screening programs that use impedance/immittance measurements?
A. obtaining the measurements in a professional sound-insulated room
B. including 500Hz in the audiometric screening procedure
C. retesting immediately those who did not pass the first screening
D. waiting 3-5 weeks to retest those who did not pass the first screening - D. waiting 3-5
weeks to retest those who did not pass the first screening
- some children may have a temporary problem due to a cold or ear infection, which may
resolve in a few weeks
Six months ago, an SLP evaluated 4-year-old Molly's speech fluency during conversation. At
that time, she displayed physically relaxed repetitions of words and phrases (occurring at a
frequency of 2 per 100 words), and interjections such as "um" (occurring at a frequency of
1 per 100 words). She did not display any sound prolongations or facial grimaces; she did
not produce any pitch rises or phonatory breaks; and she did not appear to avoid any
sounds or words. Results from several formal tests suggested that her articulation and
language development were within normal limits. Molly reportedly began producing
repetitions and interjections at age 24 months, and the frequency of these disfluency types
reportedly has remained stable since then. The SLP did not recommend speech-language
