ULTIMATE PRAXIS 5331 SPEECH
PATHOLOGY EXAM|COMPREHENSIVE
Q&A FOR CERTIFICATION SUCCESS
pyramidal system - correct-answer -Controls voluntary movement of speech
muscles, corticobulbar, corticospinal, desscuates medullary level from right side
of body that originates in left cerebral cortex:
sound waves - correct-answer -Made up on movements of particles,
expansions/contractions:
rarefaction - correct-answer -Thinning of molecules when vibration returns to
equilibrium:
,2|Page
compression - correct-answer -Vibratory movement of objects, increase density
of air molecules:
amplitude - correct-answer -Magnitude or strength of a sound signal:
incidental learning - correct-answer -A child's ability to learn based on a few
exposures:
birth to 3 months - correct-answer -Startle response, moves head towards voice,
cries for assistance, produces vowels:
7 to 9 months - correct-answer -Comprehends "no", looks at common objects
when named, sound combinations, general language patty cake, variegated
babbling, object permanence:
,3|Page
4 to 6 months - correct-answer -Raises arms to mother, moves towards family
members when named, raspberries, varies pitch vocalizations, vocalizes
displeasure/pleasure, marginal babbling, varies volume:
10 to 12 months - correct-answer -Understands 10 words, simple 1 step
directions, object permanence established, obey commands, turns head to name,
consonant vowel sounds in vocal play:
Behavioral Theory - correct-answer -Theory that learning plays a major role in
acquisition of verbal behaviors, they only learn the language they are exposed to
severe social deprivation results in language deprivation; functional units of
language include mands, tacts, echoics, autoclitics, intraverbals:
nativist theory - correct-answer -Noam Chomsky, universal rules of grammar
apply to all languages, the language acquisition device (LAD) specialized language
, 4|Page
processor that is a physiological part of brain. Competence, the knowledge of
rules of universal grammar is innate; performance, the actual production of
language is imperfect because of fatigue and distraction:
Cognitive theory - correct-answer -Theory that language is only one expression of
a more general set of cognitive activities and proper development of cognitive
system is a necessary precursor of linguistic expression, child must acquire
concepts before words; piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development:
information processing theory - correct-answer -Theory that language learning
relies on information processing mechanisms; this view has also been called
cognitive connectionism. auditory processing deals with the ability to perceive the
brief acoustic events that comprise speech sounds and track changes in these
events. Deals with auditory discrimination, auditory attention, auditory memory,
auditory rate, auditory sequencing:
