CSD 315 Final Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Purpose of phonological testing - CORRECT ANSWER Relational analysis
Independent analysis
Relational analysis - CORRECT ANSWER Comparing production to an adult production
Independent analysis - CORRECT ANSWER Analysis of speech sounds without comparative
target
Inventory of sounds, correct or not correct
Delay - CORRECT ANSWER Delay in language acquisition, but still chronologically matches
peers
Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER Persistence of errors beyond expected age range
Speech screening - CORRECT ANSWER QUICK evaluation to see if more comprehensive
testing is needed
Informal screening - CORRECT ANSWER Not standardized, tailored to specific issue of
interest
Formal screening - CORRECT ANSWER Standardized, two types:
1. Instruments designed to screen for speech sound development specifically
2.Instruments designed for more general speech and language screening
Comprehensive speech sound assessment - CORRECT ANSWER More in-depth than
screening measures
,Analyses all areas of language
Types of sampling used:
-Connected/conversational speech sampling
-Single word/citation form sampling
-Stimulability testing
-Contextual testing
-Error pattern identification
Connected/conversational speech sampling - CORRECT ANSWER Looks at natural/real
speech patterns elicited through conversation, reading, imitation, etc.
Sampling procedure used in comprehensive speech sound assessment
Single word/citation form sampling - CORRECT ANSWER Finds speech sound inventory and
evaluates productions through picture naming
Sampling procedure used in comprehensive speech sound assessment
Stimulability testing - CORRECT ANSWER Evaluates ability to imitate the correct form of
sound in error to determine therapy level needed
Sampling procedure used in comprehensive speech sound assessment
Contextual testing - CORRECT ANSWER Evaluates consistency of errors in different phonetic
contexts through formal and informal tests
Sampling procedure used in comprehensive speech sound assessment
Error pattern identification - CORRECT ANSWER Provides description of overall
phonological system, uses several different measures
, Sampling procedure used in comprehensive speech sound assessment
Criteria for selecting phonological instruments (aka sampling styles) - CORRECT ANSWER 1.
Sample obtained - specific sounds in various contexts obtained through chosen sampling style
2. Material presentation - compactness, manipulability of materials, organization of scoring sheet
3. Scoring and Analysis - Analysis of place, manner, voice, phonological patterns, phonemes, position
in word, age appropriateness, etc.
Interjudge reliability - CORRECT ANSWER Point to point agreement between two judges
regarding accuracy of transcriptions
Intrajudge reliability - CORRECT ANSWER Point to point agreement within one judge
regarding accuracy of transcriptions
Assessment procedures - CORRECT ANSWER Case history
Oral mechanism exam
Hearing screening
Speech-sound perception testing
Language assessment
Voice and fluency assessment
Assessment in young children - CORRECT ANSWER Not assessed until 18 months old
Infants/toddlers are hard to assess, often use evaluation of babbling development
Evaluations usually focus on analysis of speech sounds, correct or not (independent analysis)
Eligibility criteria for treatment - CORRECT ANSWER Intelligibility, severity, phonological
error patterns, stimulability, developmental appropriateness, and standardized scores
Intelligibility - CORRECT ANSWER Influenced by number of errors, type of errors, error
consistency, prosody, familiarity of communication partner, and message content
