SPAUD 503: Midterm || with Precise Solutions.
a. Form: phonology, morphology, syntax
b. Content: semantics
c. Use: pragmatics correct answers Review language domains (i.e., form, content, and use).
a. impairment in comprehension and/or use of spoken, written, and/or other symbol system. May
involve form, content use, in any combination
b. Characteristics present in early development (not acquired)
1. family history
2. inefficient auditory processing correct answers What is DLD and what do we know about the
etiology of DLD? Refer to Figures 1.2 and 1.3 in the textbook. Be able to describe at least 2 of
the etiological factors.
a. Phonology: poor phonological awareness (noticing rhymes, phoneme manipulation, letter
sound correspondence)
b. Morphology: errors in marking grammatical tense
c. Syntax: difficulties understanding passive voice
d. Semantics: restricted vocabulary (using "things" and "stuff" a lot)
e. Pragmatics: difficulties telling a coherent narrative correct answers What are the linguistic
characteristics of DLD in the areas of form, content, and use? Be able to list 1 characteristic for
each of the 5 components of language AND provide an example of how the characteristic might
be presented.
1. omission of morphosyntactic markers
2. Producing and understanding complex syntax correct answers What are the 2 hallmark
characteristics of DLD?
a. Risk factor: family history, prematurity, low birth weight
b. Early predictor: at 30 months, delayed use of gestures, small receptive and/or expressive
vocab correct answers List 1 risk factor and 1 early predictor of DLD.
similarities:
Use of gaze & reciprocity
Frequency of spontaneous communication
Expressive language scores
differences:
-DLD has more use of conventional gestures
-DLD has more spontaneous pretend play
-ASD has more repetitive movements and unusual vocalizations (like high pitched squeals, non-
native language type sounds)
-ASD has less initiation of joint attention
, -ASD has lower receptive language scores correct answers Based on Paul et al. (2008), how
might the characteristics of child with delayed language and a child ASD different? Are there
any similarities?
1. Child's language profile in terms of form, content, and use determine the course of
intervention. This information is collected through a comprehensive assessment.
2. Intervention should address the aspects of language which require most attention, promoting
functional understanding and use of the linguistic concepts.
3. Determine where the child is relative to typical developmental milestones to guide
intervention targets. correct answers What are the 3 components of the descriptive
developmental approach to language disorders in children?
Auditory processing: Challenges with perception of sounds, especially when the presentations
are fast/brief
Processing difficulties -> language learning
(other cognitive models are limited processing capacity and procedural deficits) correct answers
Briefly describe 1 cognitive model of DLD.
a. 18-35 month olds with delayed expressive and/or receptive language, not attributable to
another diagnosis
b. Less than 50 words in expressive vocab by 24 months
c. Typically developing gestures and use them often
d. Same quality of vocab but lower quantity correct answers What is a "late talker?" What are
some characteristics of late talkers?
a. Significant impairment in form/content/use?
b. Language development milestones?
c. Academic and/or social effect? (has to be an educational impact to receive school services)
correct answers What are the 3 goals of a functional assessment?
a. *Norm-referenced*: compare to same-aged peers, decontextualized (CELF-5)
*Criterion:*
a. Form: phonology, morphology, syntax
b. Content: semantics
