SLP Praxis Review EXAM 2026 \NEWEST VERSION
WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS\VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
ALREADY GRADEDC A+\BRAND NEW!!!
This study set was adapted from the user Anetz's practice set.
She stated the following:
"This study set has at least 500 cards gleaned from as many
SLP Praxis sets available on Quizlet as of August 2016. Then I
added more as I studied various practice Praxis tests. Feel free
to import this set into your own account so you can change
personalize it.
This comes with no guarantees that it is 100% accurate! Check
everything, and good luck!
Btw, I did pass the praxis."
As I have been studying, I have been confirming the
Speech-Language Pathology information and insuring all information from the Advanced
Praxis Review Review of Speech-Language Pathology Fourth Edition has been
included. Subject areas that have been confirmed will include a
"confirmed" in the subject heading.
Connects Broca's to Wernicke's
Arcuate fascilicus
Part of speech-production pathway
Frontal part of cingulate cortex
Resembles 'collar' around front of
corpus callossum Brodmanns 24,
Anterior cingulate cortex
32, 33
Autonomic functions, blood pressure, heart rate
Higher-level function role: reward anticipation, decision
making, impulse control, emotion
Sound-movement
Supplemental motor area
sequences
Damage: Apraxia
Posterior right hemisphere Impaired facial recognition
damage result
Anterior cingulate
Executive function location
Dorsolateral pre-frontal corteces
,Attention location Frontal and parietal lobes
Memory
Hippocampus function
Integrates all sensations into experience
Hippocamp
Memory location
us Pre-
frontal
cortex
Semantic - knowledge,
words, meaning Episodic -
Types of memory
recollection specific events,
etc Declarative - facts
Procedural - how to do things
All ascending sensations pass through on way to brain
Thalamus function
except olfactory; Relays motor info
Hypothalamus function Monitors emotion
One of four nuclei
Substantia nigra in BG Dopamine
secretion
Important for
attention
CNS's primary mechanism of attention alertness and
Reticular activating system consciousness
Also maintains states of consciousness (sleep, wake,
drowsiness, alertness, excitement)
Connects spinal cord with brain via diencephalon
Internally consists of longitudinal fiber tracts, cranial
nerve nuclei, and the reticular formation
Brainstem
Reticular activating system integrates in and out neural
activity in brainstem and upper spinal cord
Outwardly key structures include the midbrain, pons and medulla
Hearing Balance V, VII
Pons (Brainstem)
, Above midbrain between brainstem and cerebrum
Diencephalon (Brainstem) Contains thalamus (regulates incoming sensory; relays
motor info) and hypothalamus (integrates automatic
nervious system, controls emotions)
Reflexes
Midbrain (Brainstem)
III, IV (Neither involved in speech)
Automatic bodily functions
Medula (Brainstem)
VIII-XII (Very important for speech production)
Globus Pallidus, Caudate Nucleus, Putamen
Corpus Striatum parts Sections of Basal Ganglia - Extrapyramidal - regulate
and modify cortically initiated motor movements
Fine motor coordination
Received neural impulses from other brain centers and
Cerebellum helps coordinate and regulate them; e.g."Modulator"
of neural activity
Equilibrium, posture, coordinated fine
motor movement Damage to
Cerebellum= Ataxia
Direct input from frontal lobe, facilitates motor
movements, inhibits unneeded movements
Spatial-temporal aspects of speech
Basal Ganglia function Damage: unusual body postures, dysarthria, change
in body tone, involuntary uncontrolled movments
interfere with voluntary speech, walk or other
movements (dyskinesias)
Projection - cortex to subcortical (cerebellum,
Connecting fibers in brain BG, brainstem, spinal cord) Association -
connect within a hemisphere (arcuate
fasciculus) Commissural - connect left and right
hemispheres (corpus collosum)
Continuation of the spinal cord within the skull
Medulla oblongata
forming the lowest part of the brainstem,
containing control centers for the heart and
lungs.
, Protective layers of the brain:
Dura mater ("tough mother") - adheres to
Meninges of brain skull and to arachnoid Arachnoid ("spider
web") - weblike and vascular
Pia mater ("tender mother")- adheres to brain following
sulci/gyri; blood enters brain through it
Mneunomic: T not T
Thrombosis vs embolism Thrombosis - local blockage
Emoblism - TRAVeling, gets lodged elsewhere
Moves toward face and branches
External carotid artery
into smaller arteries Supplies
muscles of mouth, forehead and
face
Major supplier of blood to brain
Internal carotid artery Splits into 3 branches: (2 major) Anterior and middle
cerebral arteries, and the posterior cerebral artery
Supplies middle portion of parietal and frontal lobes,
Anterior cerebral artery coropus callosum, BG Damage: cog. deficits, impaired
judgement, attn, reasoning, possible paralysis feet/legs
Supplies entire lateral cortex and major regions of frontal lobe
Damage: strokes, aphasia, reading and writing deficits,
Middle cerebral artery
contralateral hemiplegia, impaired sensation
Largest branch of internal carotid artery
