While Ms. Williams was describing the cookie-theft picture, the SLP observed that her grammatical structure appeared to be intact and her prosody was normal but that many of her sentences were meaningless, did not fit the context, and included nonsensical paraphasic errors. Additional testing also revealed that Ms. Williams exhibited poor repetition and naming skills, did not respond appropriately to many simple commands, and had difficulty reading. Ms. Williams appeared happy and talked excessively. She did not appear to be aware of her communication deficits. What is the most likely location of the lesion? A.

Which of the following is true about the use of these treatment strategies? Select all that apply. A. Use of prolonged speech is likely to reduce the frequency of part-word repetitions and sound prolongations significantly. B. Each of the three strategies entails deliberate regulation of speech motor movements. C. The client will seek to apply cancellation whenever he feels anxious about the possibility of stuttering overtly. D. The client will seek to apply pullout during the course of part word repetition or sound prolongation. A, B, D 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 5/148 A 12-year-old native speaker of Spanish who has been studying English as a second language for three years is most likely to do which of the following when speaking English in casual conversation with teachers at school? A. Use the auxiliary "have" in place of "be" in progressive tenses B. Use incorrect word order with prepositional phrases C. Use conjunctions in place of prepositions D.

A. obtaining the measurements in a professional sound insulated room B. including 500Hz in the audiometric screening procedure C. retesting immediately those who did not pass the first screening D. waiting 3-5 weeks to D. waiting 3-5 weeks to retest those who did not pass the first screening - some children may have a temporary problem due to a cold or ear infection, which may resolve in a few weeks 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 7/148 retest those who did not pass the first screening Six months ago, an SLP evaluated 4-year- old Molly's speech fluency during conversation. At that time, she displayed physically relaxed repetitions of words and phrases (occurring at a frequency of 2 per 100 words), and interjections such as "um" (occurring at a frequency of 1 per 100 words). She did not display any sound prolongations or facial grimaces; she did not produce any pitch rises or phonatory breaks; and she did not appear to avoid any sounds or words. Results from several formal tests suggested that her articulation and language development were within normal limits. Molly reportedly began producing repetitions and interjections at age 24 months, and the frequency B. recommend that Molly be released from the SLPs active caseload - Molly's fluency development was within normal limits at the previous evaluation, and based on the parents report, it also seemed to be within normal limits at age 2. 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 8/148 of these disfluency types reportedly has remained stable since then. The SLP did not recommend speech language intervention following the previous evaluation; however, she did provide the parents with information about fluency development, sympto Naturalistic teaching chiefly involves which of the following? A. establishing successful and useful communication B. using multiple trials and training techniques C. using more adult initiated interactions than child-initiated interactions D. using differential reinforcement, fading, and modelling A. establishing successful and useful communication - naturalistic teaching focuses on the successful production of utterances that are useful in context for communicating 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 9/148 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. A. The use of a single group pretest- posttest design B. The absence of a control group A, B, C - the use of a single-group pretest-posttest design is a limitation because there is inadequate control of internal and external validity without a control group - the absence of a control group is a limitation because control groups are a way of introducing control and can better isolate the effect of the treatment - since it is a longitudinal study, improvement based on language development cannot be ruled out 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 10/14 8 C. The inability to rule out the possibility that the children's language scores improved for reasons oth Which of the following muscles produces the opposing action to those that produce velopharyngeal closure? A. musculus uvulae B. levator veli palatini C. palatoglossus D. stylopharyngeus C. palatoglossus - velopharyngeal closure is largely produced by soft palate elevation, and the only muscle in the list that produces soft palate depression is the palatoglossus. 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 11/14 8 Michael is a 32-month-old boy who has been receiving early intervention services over the past ten months for delayed speech and expressive-language development. Although his birth was reportedly unremarkable, Michael does have a history of recurrent otitis media with effusion. His parents described him as having been a "well-behaved and quiet baby." When Michael began receiving services, he communicated mainly through gestures and crude vocalizations. An open resting mouth position with slight tongue protrusion was sometimes noted. However, his receptive-language skills were found to be age appropriate and he showed no oral motor deficits during feeding. Michael's expressive-language skills have shown some progress since he began working with the speech language pathologist, but he remains poorly intelligible. Michael's imitation of tongue, lip, and jaw movements is D. an otolaryngologist 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 12/14 8 characterized by inconsistent groping and errors o An otolaryngologist has referred a 45- year-old man for voice treatment following medialization thyroplasty for a paralyzed vocal fold. Which of the following is the most appropriate therapeutic strategy for the SLP to use? A.Assisting the patient to produce a soft glottal attack B.Digitally manipulation of the patient's neck to reduce strap-muscle tension C.Assisting the patient to produce a hard glottal attack D.Employing techniques C. Assisting the patient to produce a hard glottal attack - medialization thyroplasty moves the paralyzed vocal fold closer to the mid-glottis to allow better compensation by the unaffected fold, only the production of a hard glottal attack addresses the compensatory behavior 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 13/14 8 aimed at increasing airflow 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 D. agreement of personal pronouns with their antecedents in gender and number - the morphological feature listed is one in which AAVE does not differ from SAE 7/23/25, 5:55 AM CETP Exam Prep 14/14 8 Research regarding the use of intensive phonemic awareness treatment for children who have difficulty learning to read has demonstrated that the treatment A. is effective only for children from 4-8 years old B. is effective mainly with children who have remediated all phonological process errors C. is effective only when combined with a supplemental literacy program D. might have no direct relationship to improvement in reading abilities D. might have no direct relationship to improvement in reading abilities - intensive phonemic-awareness treatment programs are thought to improve reading by training children to better differentiate and process speech sounds, however, research has not successfully separated the effects of intensive intervention, so no direct relationship has yet to be proved An SLP is planning treatment for a 5-year- old child with multiple speech production errors. The most effective strategy the clinician can use to treat the child is to A.arrange error sounds by developmental pattern and correct them sound by sound B.start with sounds the child can make and use them as bridges to error D. delineate phonological processes in operation and address them through minimal-contrast pairs - the most efficient procedure for the child would be for the SLP to define the phonological processes in operation and address them through minimal-contrast pairs
