SLP FINAL EXAM REVIEW questions
with complete solutions
Implementation strategies of AAC
1.) Modeling: Pointing to a visual or using a high-tech device
2.) Expectant pauses: Pausing and giving time for the person to be able to communicate the
answer
3.) Ask Open-ended questions
4.) Wait time
5.) expanding and recasting
Language difference and example
Some children may not communicate exactly like their peets but communicate like their family/
community does
Example: Of this is a child whose "r" s sound trilled when he speaks Spanish and also English
Characteristics of child/infant-directed speech?
1.) Higher Pitch
2.) More pitch variation (example higher peaks)
3.) Slower rate
4.) Simpler syntax (example: shorter sentences)
5.) More repetitions
, 6.) Exaggerated facial expressions
7.) Modify their signs (Example: larger and slower)
What makes a word easier or harder to learn?
The SICI Continuum:
1.) Shape: Well-defined vs. abstract/ not well-defined
2.) Individuation: Easy to identify singular vs hard to identify singular
3.) Concreteness: More concrete vs. less concrete
4.) Imageabiltity: Easy to visualize vs. hard to visualize
More expouser= easier to learn
Pragmatic language in preschool
1.) Use language to achieve social communication goals
2.) Expand the range of communicative functions (reasons for communicating)
3.) maintain conversational topics, take turns appropriately, and can shift topics appropiroate
4.) Make and request conversational repair (can fix, or ask for a fix, when there is a
conversational breakdown (misunderstanding)
5.) Use various genres of language (in narration or story telling)
Phonological processes
Children's simplification of words. These processes are predictable and consistent with typical
development
