CQE UPDATED Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Sternocledomastoid - CORRECT ANSWER - Muscle of respiration
Muscle which opposes velopharyngeal closure - CORRECT ANSWER - Lavator veli
palatini
Major acoustic characteristic of voiceless fricatives - CORRECT ANSWER - aperiodicity
Front vowels characterized by - CORRECT ANSWER - High frequency second formant
(F2)
Technique which results in temporary facilitation of swallow reflex - CORRECT
ANSWER - Thermal stimulation
Stroboscopy - CORRECT ANSWER - Most efficient & effective instrument for viewing
the vocal folds (VFs)
Bulbar palsy characterized by - CORRECT ANSWER - Flaccid paralysis
Independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER - manipulated to determine its effect on the
dependent variable
Within-subjects design - CORRECT ANSWER - dependent variables are measured
repeatedly in the same subjects under different tasks/conditions
between-subjects design - CORRECT ANSWER - each participant participates in one and
only one group. The results from each group are then compared to each other to examine
differences, and thus, effect of the IV. For example, in a study examining the effect of Bayer
,aspirin vs Tylenol on headaches, we can have 2 groups (those getting Bayer and those getting
Tylenol). Participants get either Bayer OR Tylenol, but they do NOT get both
Multiple baseline design - CORRECT ANSWER - The multiple baseline design allows for
evaluation across clients, situations, or problems. It is a true experimental design in that it allows
for causal inference. It is extremely useful for evaluating situations where an intervention would
be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable
Flaccid paralysis of soft palate remediated by - CORRECT ANSWER - palatal lift
appliance to compensation for intact but non-functioning palate
1st choice of tx for submucous cleft - CORRECT ANSWER - surgery
1st choce for congenitally short palate - CORRECT ANSWER - surgery
Best way to assess swallow (prior to providing speech tx) - CORRECT ANSWER -
modified barium swallow
ellipses - CORRECT ANSWER - omission of words or other linguistic units b/c they're
unnecessary or contextually inferfed.
deixis - CORRECT ANSWER - A word (such as this, that, these, those, now, then) that
points to the time, place, or situation in which the speaker is speaking. Also known as deixis.
Leading causes of aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER - CVA, TBI, seizures, tumors,
neurodegenerative disorders (dementia & primary progressive aphasia)
Fluent aphasias - CORRECT ANSWER - Wernicke's, conduction, transcortical sensory,
anomic
, Anomic aphasia (location) - CORRECT ANSWER - tempo-parietal, angular gyrus; second
temporal gyrus
Anomic aphasia (characteristics) - CORRECT ANSWER - fluent aphasia, good
comprehension & repeition. Word-finding difficulties, decreased output of nouns. Possible alexia
& agraphia.
Conduction aphasia (location) - CORRECT ANSWER - path between sensory and motor
speech centers (arcuate fasciculus) or insula or deep to supermarginal gyrus
Characteristics of conduction aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER - Fluent aphasia. Preserved
comprehension with impaired repetition and literal paraphasias.
Transcortical sensory aphasia location - CORRECT ANSWER - Posterior parieto-
temporal, sparing Wernicke's area
Transcortical sensory aphasia characteristics - CORRECT ANSWER - Fluent. Intact
repetition, poor auditory comp, paraphasias
Wernicke's aphasia location - CORRECT ANSWER - Posterior third of superior temporal
gyrus
Wernicke's aphasia characteristics - CORRECT ANSWER - Fluent but meaningless
speech; severe auditory comprehension deficit; jargon, paraphasias, & neologisms; poor reading
comprehension; writing deficits
Nonfluent aphasias - CORRECT ANSWER - Broca's, transcortical motor, global aphasia,
mixed nonfluent aphasia
Global aphasia (common location of lesion) - CORRECT ANSWER - Left MCA (entire
perisylvian region)
