SLP PRAXIS PRACTICE EXAM 2026 UPDATE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
ALREADY GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
Childhood AOS - ANS-Disorder with repetition of sounds and syllables, unusual
errors of articulation, such as metathesis (axe/ask), deviations in prosody.
Speech reading - ANS-A person who deciphers speech by looking at the face of
the speaker and using visual cues to understand what the speaker is saying.
Van Riper's Approach to Stuttering - ANS-Approach with the goal is fluent
stuttering.
/w/ - ANS-A semi-vowel that is voiced bilabial glide that is anterior and continuant.
Integral practice - ANS-Treatment approach's aim is to use simultaneous practice
to bring to consciousness the look and sound of the target speech output.
20 Hz to 20,000 Hz - ANS-Sensitivity to sound of the normal ear of a young adult is
___ to ___ Hz.
Electroglottography - ANS-Non invasive procedure yields an indirect measure of VF
closure patterns. Surface electrodes placed on both sides of the thyroid cartilage
and a high frequency electric current is measured.
Electromyography - ANS-Invasive procedure directly measures laryngeal function
to study the pattern of electrical activity of the VFs and to view muscle activity
patterns. Insertion of needles electrodes into the patient's peripheral laryngeal
muscles.
Class I Malocclusion - ANS-Overbite
Class II Malocclusion - ANS-Misaligned teeth
Class III Malocclusion - ANS-Underbite
Conduction Aphasia - ANS-This type of aphasia is characterized by good syntax,
prosody, and articulation. They have poor repetition
Vocal Nodules - ANS-Lesions that are typically bilateral and appear at the junction
of the anterior and middle third portion of the folds.
, Complex sentence - ANS-One independent clause and one dependent clause
2-6 oz of liquid per feeding - ANS-Average most 1 month old infants consume
Ratio scale - ANS-Numerical values must be related to an absolute zero point.
Nominal scale - ANS-Category is present/absent (e.g. never, sometimes, always)
Interval scale - ANS-Numerical scale that can be arranged according to rank
orders/levels.
Ordinal scale - ANS-Numerical scale that can be arranged according to rank
orders/levels (e.g. greater than or less than concepts).
Cued speech - ANS-Speech with manual cues that represent sounds of speech.
Stress - ANS-Characteristic of syllables for it can change the meanings of words.
Juncture - ANS-Combination of suprasegmentals- intonation and pausing that mark
special distinctions or grammatical divisions in speech.
Van Riper's approach to Artic - ANS-Focus on phonetic placement, auditory
discrimination, and drill-like practice at increasingly complex motor levels until accurate
production is automatized.
Otosclerosis - ANS-Spongy growth that starts on the footplate of the stapes and causes
it to become rigid.
Neurogenic Stuttering - ANS-Type of stuttering when the pt has disfluencies on function
words and in imitated speech, lack of adaptation, minimal or no effect of masking noise.
pH probe - ANS-A study that is used to quantify the time and frequency of GI reflux into
the esophagus
Carhart's notch - ANS-Specific hearing loss at 2000 Hz by bone conduction testing.
Schizophrenia - ANS-Talks to self, confused language, talks about events and
experiences that may be unreal.
Sound spectography - ANS-Graphic representation of sound wave's intensity and
frequency as a function of time, yields a picture that reflects resonant characteristics of
the vocal tract and the harmonic nature of the glottal sound source.
Visi pitch - ANS-Instrument used to measure frequency range, optimal pitch and
habitual pitch. No measuring of nasality or resonance.
