Which of the following actions will most effectively control the problem of
overreferral in school screening programs that use impedance/immittance
measurements?
A.Obtaining the measurements in a professional sound-insulated room
B.Including 500 Hz in the audiometric screening procedure
C.Retesting immediately those who did not pass the first screening
D.Waiting three to five weeks to retest those who did not pass the first screening
Give this one a try later!
Answer: D (Some children may have a temporary problem due to a cold or
ear infection, which may resolve in a few weeks.)
For a test of expressive morphology and syntax for speakers of African American
Vernacular English (AAVE), the test item that would be considered LEAST biased
against such speakers would be one requiring
A.use of the auxiliary verb "be" in the present progressive tense
, B.use of the past-tense ending "-ed"
C.use of sentences with multiple negation
D.agreement of personal pronouns with their antecedents in gender and number
Give this one a try later!
Answer: D (The morphological feature listed is one in which African
American Vernacular English (AAVE) does not differ from Standard
American English (SAE).)
Ms. Lopez's articulation errors consist of the following: f/v, ʃ/ʒ, and s/z. On the basis of
these errors, the SLP should begin remediation that focuses on
A.manner
B.place
C.fricatives
D.voicing
Give this one a try later!
Answer: D (Ms. Lopez's phonological errors are errors of voicing, as [f] is
substituted for [v], [ʃ] for [ʒ], and [s] for [z].)
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
pretreatment scores. This led the researchers to conclude that the treatment was
highly effective.
Based on the preceding description, which of the following appears to be a
significant limitation of the design of the study?
Select all that apply.
