When two vowels are combined (e.g., /ei/ in shake and lace), it results in a
continuous change in the shape of the vocal tract. These sounds are called
allophones.
phonemes.
morphemes.
Diphthongs.
Diphthongs
When differentiating articulation from phonological disorders, what is the
purpose of summarizing the collapse of phonetic contrasts?
To determine any sound or sound blends that characterize different phonemes
To determine what sounds are inconsistently used
To determine any substitutions that characterize more than one target phoneme
To determine what sounds are consistently used
To determine any substitutions that characterize more than one target phoneme
When screening children and assessing their communication, it is important to
assess sensorimotor foundations for language. Means-end is an example of a
sensorimotor foundation for language. What is meant by the term means-end?
Representing one thing by using something else
Attaining a desired goal through purposeful action
Recognizing the behavior of others and reproducing it
Understanding that things still exist when not in sight
Attaining a desired goal through purposeful action
When is a speech-language pathologist responsible for counseling a laryngeal
cancer patient in terms of their speech and swallowing treatment?
A speech-language pathologist is not responsible for counseling with regard to
speech and swallowing treatment.
,A speech-language pathologist should only counsel a patient about speech and
swallowing issues if requested by the patient.
A speech-language pathologist should counsel a patient about speech and
swallowing prior to treatment.
A speech-language pathologist should only counsel a patient about speech and
swallowing after treatment.
A speech-language pathologist should counsel a patient about speech and
swallowing prior to treatment.
Which is not part of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)?

You are asked to develop a management plan for a patient with right hemisphere

pragmatic language impairments.
production of morphologic features.
syntactic skills.
phonological skills.
pragmatic language impairments.
Patients enjoy rights and privileges that concur with obligations of speech-
language pathologists. What would be the legal obligation of the speech-language
pathologist be if the right of a patient is the right to medical privacy?
The obligation of noninterference by the government
The obligation to provide health care
The obligation to provide health care under statue
The obligation to protect confidential information
The obligation to protect confidential information
,The following surgical procedure for patients with a cleft includes a substance
that is implanted or injected into the posterior pharyngeal wall to make it bulge:
Pharyngeal flap
Pharyngoplasty
Delayed hard palate closure
The von Langenbeck surgical method
Pharyngoplasty
A patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's disease) has
profound motoric impairments and limited hand mobility. He is not able to use a
manual switching device. The medical team decides that he can use a type of
augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) that uses bio-electrical signals
such as muscle-action potentials to activate and display messages on a
computer monitor. This type of AAC is called:
Picture Exchange Communication system
Gestural-assisted AAC
Neuro-assisted AAC
Eye-blink encoding
Neuro-assisted AAC
Which is true:
Some forms of dementia, caused by a toxic reaction to medication, are reversible,
especially in their early stages.
All forms of dementia are progressive.
Speech production problems are not associated with Broca's aphasia.
In right hemisphere syndrome, language is more severely impaired than
communication.
Some forms of dementia, caused by a toxic reaction to medication, are reversible,
especially in their early stages.
The classification of unaided symbols can be separated into which of the
following two categories?
Object based
, Arbitrary logogaphs
Linguistic
Alphabet-based symbols
Arbitrary shapes
Nonlinguistic

An investigator carries out a study in which the effect of rate of speech upon
stuttering during sibling interaction is being investigated. The investigator gathers
conversational samples from children who stutter and their siblings. In the
control group, siblings are asked to speak as they normally would at home. In the
experimental group, siblings are asked to speak much more quickly than they
would at home. The investigator wishes to measure the effect of rate of siblings'
speech upon the amount of stuttering done by the children who stutter. In other
words, the investigator is asking if increased rate of siblings' speech causes
children to stutter more. In this study, what is the dependent variable?
The amount of stuttering done by children who stutter when siblings speak at a
slowed rate
The rate of speech of the siblings in the experimental group
The rate of speech of the siblings in the control group
The amount of stuttering done by the children who stutter when the siblings
increase their rate of speech
The amount of stuttering done by the children who stutter when the siblings increase
their rate of speech
