Cognition/Social Language Praxis Review

Theory: Acquiring and processing knowledge is an active one.

The left hemisphere controls facial recognition, drawing, and copying.

Attention: Capacity limitation is a weak point of human attention and Selection is a strong point.

What is the most common cause of TBI’s?

All of the terms listed below are types of insecure attachment except:

This special ed. instructional practice for children with learning disabilities resulted in the greatest effect size.

Type of TBI: fractured or perforated skull; torn meninges; injury extends into brain tissue

The left hemisphere controls most aspects of language:

Autism was originally described as a profound emotional disorder of childhood.

Consequences of TBI include all but which of the following:

Neglect (compared to abuse) appears to have more negative effects on language development.

The highest prevalence rates are for the age groups: 0-4 years & 15-19 years.

Errorless learning is most helpful for individuals with relatively unimpaired procedural memory.

The 3 main components of Pragmatic Language Impairment are:

Children with TBI should only be assessed in the speech room and not in more natural settings.

Limited access to healthcare can affect language skills.

Children who experience neglect and/or abuse exhibit all but which of the following expressive language delays:

When working on EF, you should not use pre-established anchors.

Bilateral cortical, subcortical, or mixed damage; more common in men; distinguishing feature = sudden onset dementia

Learning=Process through which people attempt to fulfill individual potential; learning is a form of self-actualization

Estimates of TBI incidence annually:

Theory of Mind is the ability to think about different theories.

More females sustain TBIs compared to males.

Degeneration of frontal/temporal lobes; early onset; behavior or language deficits

Encoding: Early processing of the material (to be learned).

The right hemisphere controls emotional experience and expression.

Definition: Brain system that provides temporary storage/manipulation of the information necessary for cognitive tasks.

Anosognosia is:

Definition: Child imitates a previous utterance after a few minutes, days, weeks or even years is...

Children with autism typically have a lack of responsiveness/awareness of other people.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is the leading cause of intellectual disabilities in the Western World.

A pragmatic impairment is a mismatch between language and context.

Excessive protein deposits in brain; similar to Parkinson's Disease; Hallmark = hallucinations

You should "cram" when you study for an exam.

Dementia Associated with ________ = Basal ganglia degeneration, slow movements, tremors, mask-like face, reduced volume

The right hemisphere controls the gestalt.

Learners must create their knowledge; Nonlinear process

Universal Design Principles for Learning include all but which of the following:

A diffuse TBI is restricted to one area of the brain.

Most common form of dementia; more females affected; genetic; memory problems hallmark

Definition: Process via which recently coded information is transferred into permanent storage.

Children with PLI tend to do better with structured contexts so we should only assess in that context.

Type of TBI: no open wound in head; meninges intact

With decorticate posturing (flexor), the arms move inward.

Language that children from lower SES and educational levels hear at home may be limited in both quantity and quality.

Clock Drawing Result: Numbers out of order; Only on left side of the circle; drew one line for the hands. Problem?

One problem with standardized assessments for children with TBI is that they don't catch the unique impairments.

Behaviorism: Actions, then good outcomes = likely to recur. Actions, then bad outcomes = less likely to occur.

We should use Errorful learning for people with severe Alzheimer's.

Dementia Associated with ________ = Gait disturbance, slow movement, behavioral disorders, dysarthria, reduced cognition

You ask your client to repeat a list of words you provided after 3 minutes. Which skill is this assessing?

Working memory is not important for reasoning, learning, and comprehension.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) children may have all but which of the following symptoms:

A focal TBI involves multiple areas of the brain.

Theory of Mind is the ability to think about mental states, both your own and those of others.

Systematically adjusting the stimuli throughout the course of study is an example of how we implement behaviorism.

The definition of traumatic brain injury is:

Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at an increased risk for language impairment.
