ILTS 290 (LBI 1) EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS (GRADED A+)
Visual errors in composition, and spelling - Answer- Students spell words exactly the
way they sound and not the way they look
Auditory Errors in Composition and Spelling - Answer- Errors in which the words within
sentences, sentences within paragraphs, and ideas within compositions are out of order
or poorly organized. Also, sounds, syllables, and words are missing or have omissions,
additions, substitutions, or ending errors (agreement, tense, plural, possessives)
Phonological Code System - Answer- A method of teaching children to read in which
they learn the visual letter symbols, their corresponding sounds, and their governing
rules in order to decode words and to spell
Mnemonics - Answer- Memory "tricks" such as acronyms, crazy phrases, or cartoons
that act as global or abbreviated cues and can be used to recall more complex and
detailed verbal information
Modeling - Answer- When a child observes an adult of another child with characteristics
similar to his or her own who is interacting with a feared object or in a feared situation,
the observing child learns responses from the behavior modeled
Dyscalculia - Answer- A specific learning disability (SLD) in math, also called Math
Disability (MD) or Math Learning Disability (MLD)
Numerosity - Answer- Number sense, or the ability to understand the properties of
numerical problems or expressions without doing precise computations, which as would
be involved in estimations of quantity
Disability Fatigue - Answer- The tiredness or lack of energy a child with a disability feels
as the result of the effort he or she must expand in attempting to overcome skill deficits
or to conform with school requirements
Masking - Answer- The hiding of a disability by giftedness or of giftedness by a disability
Aptitude - Answer- A natural ability or intelligence. Different types of aptitude can be
assessed, such as verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-
kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalists
Nonverbal (visual) communication - Answer- Communication without verbal language,
through gestures, postures, facial expressions, visual symbols, and concepts
, Perinatal - Answer- During the time of childbirth
Revisualization - Answer- Seeing something again in ones mind (with memory)
Confabulation - Answer- The reporting of events that never happened (false memories)
although the individual describing them believes them to be true events
Number Concepts - Answer- Quantity, more/less (relative magnitude)-related to
numerosity
Monotone - Answer- Speech without inflection
Simultaneous Verbalization - Answer- Verbal explanations presents concurrently with
visuals
TBI and MTBI - Answer- Traumatic Brain Injury and mild traumatic brain injury. TBI can
result from severe injuries to the brain that cause long periods of loss of consciousness,
including lengthy periods of coma and frequent seizures. MTBI can result from less
severe or more focal injuries to the brain.
Plasticity - Answer- The ability of the brain, especially the brain of a young child, to form
new connections between intact areas, with uninjured brain tissue taking over the
functions of lost neurons
Conclusion - Answer- The most common brain injury, which generally occurs either
when the head accelerated rapidly and then is stopped suddenly or when the head is
shaken
Contusion - Answer- Bruising of brain tissues, contusions of the brain can cause
bleeding and toxic effects
Shearing - Answer- A form of damage to the brain resulting from cut nerve pathways
Amnesia - Answer- Loss of memory of immediate or distal events
Focal Damage - Answer- Damage effecting specific areas of the brain
Global Damage - Answer- Damage affecting large areas of the brain and causing major
changes in cognitive functions and adaptive behavior
Nonverbal IQ - Answer- Performance IQ, which is often assessed through testing that
involves speeded processing during the manipulation of novel stimuli (mazes, blocks)
Cognitive Distortion - Answer- A bias in interpreting events, typically produced by a set
of past experiences (an expectation of negative or hostile interactions, or failure
