SHS 485 CORRECT EXAMS ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Articulation - ✔✔Generating motor commands for speech.
✔✔Morphology - ✔✔Combining morphemes to form complex words.
✔✔Lexical-concept selection - ✔✔Selecting words for language output.
✔✔Which type of aphasia is most often associated with agrammatism? - ✔✔Broca's
aphasia
✔✔Which type of aphasia is non-fluent? - ✔✔Broca's aphasia
✔✔Which type of aphasia tends to be characterized by paragrammatism? -
✔✔Wernicke's aphasia
✔✔Which type of aphasia is fluent? - ✔✔Wernicke's aphasia
✔✔Which type of aphasia has the greatest amount of impairment in auditory
comprehension? - ✔✔Wernicke's aphasia
✔✔Syntactic error example - ✔✔Omitting articles in sentences like "he go to store".
✔✔Semantic error example - ✔✔Saying 'fork' instead of 'spoon'.
✔✔Agrammatism - ✔✔Missing grammatical elements in verbal output; Seen in non-
fluent aphasia like Broca's aphasia.
✔✔Paragrammatism - ✔✔Plenty of grammatical elements but in a nonsensical order.
Seen in fluent aphasia like Wernicke's aphasia.
, ✔✔Paragrammatism example - ✔✔I am very want to the stores to buyed some greads.
✔✔Which type of aphasia tends to have right hemiparesis and depression? -
✔✔Broca's aphasia; Brain injury in the frontal lobe near the primary motor strip causes
Broca's aphasia. As a result, motor impairments such as right-sided hemiparesis can
result. Individuals with Broca's aphasia tend to have good auditory comprehension and
awareness of their errors. This can lead to frustration and depression.
✔✔Which are more difficult for persons with aphasia: - ✔✔Bound morphemes
✔✔All persons with aphasia will have some anomia - ✔✔True
✔✔How are common words generally retrieved in individuals with aphasia? - ✔✔More
easily than uncommon, high-usage words
✔✔The mental grammar includes rules for syntax, morphology and phonology -
✔✔True
✔✔Phonological errors in aphasia are due to difficulty retrieving the correct meaning of
a word. - ✔✔False; Phonological errors involve mistakes in the sound patterns of words,
not in their meaning.
✔✔In Broca's aphasia, expressive language is often described as 'agrammatic,'
indicating challenges with syntactic processing. - ✔✔True
✔✔Descriptive grammar refers to how people actually use language in everyday
contexts, whereas prescriptive grammar refers to formal, taught rules. - ✔✔True
✔✔The sentence "He go-ed to the store yesterday" contains a syntactic error. -
✔✔False; This is a morphological error, as the verb tense form is incorrect. The verb
should be "went." The sentence "store he go yesterday" is a syntactic error.
✔✔The HOUSE Model predicts good repetition skills in persons with Broca's aphasia -
✔✔False; The statement is Incorrect - the lower (phonological) and upper (concept)
routes will both be impacted by Broca's aphasia, as predicted by the HOUSE Model. As
a result, repetition will be affected.
✔✔The HOUSE Model of Aphasia predicts intact repetition for persons with Wernicke's
aphasia. - ✔✔The correct answer is false. Both the lower (phonological) and upper
(concept) repetition routes are impacted, and are predictive of IMPAIRED repetition in
Wernicke's aphasia.
