-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

referred her to the school's speech-language pathologist. Which of the

-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 informat - -C. Vocal
loudness

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.

cab?
A. Locus frequency of burst
B. Voice onset time

1.5x as long as vowels that precede voiceless stops

strongly influenced by a consideration of the child's
A. motor skills
B. cognitive skills
C. syntactic skills
D. articulation skills - -B. cognitive skills

child's speech-language responses

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 approp
- -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 wi - -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?

B. Use incorrect word order with prepositional phrases
C. Use conjunctions in place of prepositions

-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. The client has the classic profile of a
person at high risk for
A. spastic dysphonia
B. acute laryngitis
C. vocal nodules
D. contact ulcers - -D. contact ulcers
-Which of the following is an accurate statement about whispered speech?
A. it is produced by approximating the arytenoid cartilages so that their
medial surfaces are in direct contact
B. it is composed largely of aperiodic sounds
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 - -B. recommend that
Molly be released from the SLPs active caseload
- Molly's fluency development was within normal limits at the previous
evaluation, and based on the parents report, it also seemed to be within
normal limits at age 2.
-Naturalistic teaching chiefly involves which of the following?
A. establishing successful and useful communication
B. using multiple trials and training techniques
C. using more adult-initiated interactions than child-initiated interactions
D. using differential reinforcement, fading, and modelling - -A. establishing
successful and useful communication
- naturalistic teaching focuses on the successful production of utterances
that are useful in context for communicating
-A team of SLPs is evaluating whether a new language intervention is
suitable for use with children who are on their caseload. The clinicians read
an article documenting research on the effect of a novel treatment on the
language performance of 30 children with specific language impairment. The
researchers administered a standardized language test to the children before
and after the treatment program. The children's posttreatment scores on the
test were significantly higher than their pretreatme - -A, B, C
