nerve X (Vagus)
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.
A.It will likely foster better communication with Fela's linguistically and culturally diverse peers.
B.It will likely improve Fela's code-switching ability with her teacher and other adult speakers of SAE.
C.It may expand Fela's later academic and vocational opportunities.
D.It will likely lead Fela to adopt SAE as her primary dialect. - ✔✔A, B, C
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 - ✔✔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
