lectures 18-20 Questions with Quality
Answers.
cued speech - Answer supplements the hearing speaker’s speech with hand shapes to help
assist the deaf person decode their message (sign language)
what is a limitation of cued speech - Answer both the speaker and the deaf person need to
be familiar with the system in order to be effective
speech reading - Answer lip reading, deaf person attempts to comprehend a speakers speech
by paying close attention to their mouth movements
failing to engage a brain system due to lack of use can cause further deterioration in function.
which principle of neural plasticity is this? - Answer use it or lose it
the ability of the damaged brain to relearn lost behavior in response to rehabilitation is known
as: - Answer neural plasticity
true or false, the adaptive capacity of the central nervous system is known as neural plasticity -
Answer true
true or false, older adults who participate in regular exercise and mental activity are likely to
experience less of an impact of neural plasticity changes in normal aging? - Answer true
in order to continue to complete daily tasks, individuals with brain damage often develop: -
Answer compensatory strategies
Delaying the initiation of rehabilitation after brain damage can limit the overall improvements in
function due to the client developing 'bad habits' that are not effective long-term. This is an
example of what principle? - Answer interference
Approaches to rehabilitation following brain damage/injury typically focus on: - Answer
Limiting the severity of the initial injury to minimize loss of function and Restore or compensate
for functional skills that have already been damaged or lost.
An essential component of the brain's ability to adapt when brain damage occurs, even without
the benefit of any rehabilitation, is attributed to: - Answer learning
, Asking a client to perform a new skill or behavior 2 or 3 times during 1 or 2 sessions is unlikely
to evoke neural brain changes due to which principle? - Answer intensity matters and
repetition matters
conductive hearing loss - Answer disruption in the flow of sound to the inner ear, often not
permanent
sensorineural hearing loss - Answer damage to the inner ear or the nerve pathways from the
inner ear to the brain, impacts loudness and sound clarity, and is percents
true or false, sensorineural hearing loss accounts for 90% (largest group) of all hearing loss -
Answer true
mixed hearing loss - Answer a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, not
always permeant, if conductive it can be resolved
audiometry - Answer the quantitative measurement of hearing
pure tone audiometry - Answer measures hearing acuity in both ears for sound frequencies
between 250 Hz and 8000Hz
audiometer - Answer the devices used to generate the tones for hearing tests
threshold - Answer the lowest d8 (volume) level at which the tone is barely audible
air conduction testing - Answer tests a persons hearing as it travels through air
bone conduction testing - Answer a vibratory unit is placed on the skull behind the ear
true or false, if hearing is normal for bone conduction testing, then the hearing loss is isolated
to the outer or middle ear is a conductive hearing loss - Answer true
true or false, If air and bone conduction thresholds are abnormal, then a sensorineural hearing
loss is identified - Answer true
true or false, If bone conduction testing and air conduction testing are both abnormal, then it is
a mixed hearing loss - Answer true
