ILTS SLP: nonteaching practice test
(232) questions well answered already
passed
a. cognitive approach
according to Jean Piaget's theory, cognitive maturation occurs sequentially and directly
influences language development. Language development results from cognitive maturation
and environmental experiences and is not regarded as a separate faculty. - correct answer
✔✔which of the following developmental theories asserts that language acquisition results
from intellectual maturation?
a. cognitive approach
b. linguistic approach
c. behavior approach
d. social interactionist approach
b. "dog bowl"
According to brown's stages of syntactic and mophological development, 24-month-old children
are expected to have a MLU of approximately 1.75 with a range of 1.0-2.0 morphemes. In
Brown's stage I, children produce several sentence types as they acquire more language, such as
possessor + possession, but have not yet acquired more complex grammatical structures. -
correct answer ✔✔By the age of 24 months, children who are typically developing are most
likely to produce which of the following utterances?
a. "i'm eating"
,b. "dog bowl"
c. "cats playing"
d. "it's on the table"
c. focusing on listening and comprehending in the 2nd language
children who are acquiring language frequently undergo typical processes of 2nd language
acquisition. During the silent period of 2nd language acquisition, children are likely to appear
quiet since they are focusing on listening and comprehending the 2nd or new language. -
correct answer ✔✔A 3rd grade teacher reports that a student who is an ELL closely observes
students in the classroom but infrequently engages in using language. Which of the following
2nd language processes is the student most likely demonstrating?
a. losing language skills in the primary language
b. switching between the 1st and 2nd language in a single utterance
c. focusing on listening and comprehending in the 2nd language
d. producing errors in English due to the influence of the 1st language
d. exposure to language
Research indicated that a child's language experiences greatly influence language and literacy
development. - correct answer ✔✔A child's rate of language development is most likely to be
influenced by which of the following factors?
a. median household income
b. dialect difference
c. underlying temperament
d. exposure to language
,a. difficulty with word order and auxiliary verbs
ELLs demonstrate a few typical 2nd language processes, which are directly influenced by the
structure of their primary language. In the sample, the student demonstrates English
errors/processes impacting syntax production, especially word order and auxiliary verbs. This is
most likely attributed to 1st language transfer to english and would be considered a language
difference, not a language disorder. - correct answer ✔✔Use the information below to answer
the following question.
spontaneous language sample:
C she me hit.
C He is a puppy very cute.
C Is rainy today.
C where you go?
A SLP collects a spontaneous language sample from a 2nd ELL. Based on the language sample,
which of the following typical 2nd language processes is the student most likely demonstrating?
a. difficulty with word order and auxiliary verbs
b. omission of morphological markers and articles
c. substitution of pronouns and misuse of prepositions
d. addition of multipurpose verbs and plural forms
b. drawing pictures and symbols
in the pre-phonemic stage of writing development, children have emerging knowledge of the
alphabet but have yet to develop knowledge of sound-symbol correspondence. Therefore,
children use symbols and illustrations to convey a message or tell a story. - correct answer
, ✔✔In the pre-phonemic stage of writing development, which of the following strategies is a
child most likely to use to communicate a message?
a. representing words using initial consonants
b. drawing pictures and symbols
c. using letters to represent every speech sound
d. recalling orthographic patterns of words
c. cochlea
the cochlea is part of the inner ear and is fluid-filled structure with mechanical receptors called
hair cells on the inside. The hair cells convert movement into chemical-eletrical signals, which
are transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve. - correct answer ✔✔which of the following
anatomical structures converts sound energy into a chemical-electrical singal that is transmitted
to the brain?
a. auditory nerve
b. tympanic membrane
c. cochlea
d. stapes
d. vocal intensity
When subglottal air pressure is increased, either through muscular force or air pressure from
the lungs, vocal intensity ot loudness increases proportionally. Vocal intensity is directly related
to vocal fold excursion and overall air displacement. - correct answer ✔✔An increase in
subglottal pressure is most likely to alter which of the following vocal characteristics?
a. vocal resonance
