APHASIA EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | APHASIA STUDY GUIDE & PRACTICE TEST
2026/2027
Intermittent Auditory Imperception - ANS ✔✔Auditory processing appears to fade in and fade
out randomly, leading to sporadic and unpredictable performance, almost as if there is a filter
that allows only part of the message in
Information Capacity - ANS ✔✔Do not seem to be able to receive and process information at
the same time, may be able to repeat the beginning and end, but not the middle elements and
performance may alternate between being good or poor
Retention Deficit - ANS ✔✔Performance breakdowns tend to occur at the same point in all
messages, regardless of complexity
Noise Buildup - ANS ✔✔Tend to respond more accurately to the initial portion of auditory
messages than to the following portions
Slow-Rise Time - ANS ✔✔Tend to miss the initial portion of incoming messages
Levels of Language Processing Goals - ANS ✔✔learn vocab, expand vocab, and efficiently access
and retrieve vocab
Lexicon - ANS ✔✔the vocabulary of a person, language, or branch of knowledge, dictionary
Lexical - ANS ✔✔relating to the words or vocabulary of a language, distinguished from its
grammar and construction
Lemma - ANS ✔✔a unit of meaning, a form of a word that appears as an entry in a dictionary
and is used to represent all the other possible forms; it is the way a word may be referred to out
of context; e.g., lemma = build
