Assessment of heard and spoken language

Auditory comprehension refers to one's ability,

• to understand what you read

• to say something

• to write a message

• to understand a text that is read by someone

• None of the above

A task that can NOT be used for assessing verbal expression is,

• repetition

• reading comprehension

• reading aloud

• naming

Stimulus characteristics that affect a single word reading task are,

• imageability

• frequency

• regularity

• lexicality

• Word length

Word imageability is,

• The number of syllables in the word

• How frequently the word is used

• How easily the word produces a mental image

• If the word is a real word or a non word.

An error analysis does not involve,

• calculation of correct and incorrect responses

• identifying the best modality of input

• Identifying error types and patterns

• identifying the frequency of errors

• Measuring response time

The comparison of word and non word repetition ability allows the assessment of the,

• Phonological Output Buffer

• Phonological Output Lexicon

• Phonological input to output conversion

• Phonological Input Lexicon

• Phoneme to grapheme conversion

A task to assess orthographic to phonologic conversion is,

• repetition of the word 'fish'

• repetition of 'finak'

• naming a picture of a cat

• pointing to a picture named by the clinician

• reading the word 'hurricane'

State if TRUE or FALSE.

Mr. T does a heard word to picture matching task. He has more errors on shorter words than longer words. This indicates a breakdown at the level of the phonological output buffer.

• TRUE

• FALSE

• Needs more information

• unsure

Conduite d’approche , a repetitive effort to approximate the appropriate word or phrase,

• is indicative of spared auditory comprehension

• seen in those with impaired auditory comprehension

• manifests difficulty in stringing phonemes together

• cooccurs with severe difficulties in repetition

• Seen when aphasia cooccurs with dyspraxia

The cognitive neuropsychological model assesses the processing of language at,

• single word level

• sentence level

• discourse

• single word and sentence level only
