Graduate Neuroscience
Under DSM IV criteria for autism spectrum disorders, which of the following were listed separately as possible characteristics of ASD?
  1. qualitative impairment in social interaction, and qualitative impairments in communication.
  2. hand flapping and widely set eyes.
  3. digestive problems and large head circumference.
  4. Rhett syndrome.
Graduate Neuroscience
An SLP might refer a person with ASD to a psychologist for:
  1. cognitive testing
  2. a medical evaluation
  3. perscription of medication
  4. a. and c.
College Neuroscience
During assessment of a 10 month old child with Down Syndrome, the COTA notes hyperextensibility of all joints. This means that the child probably has:
  1. increased muscle tone
  2. decreased muscle tone
  3. contractures
  4. spasticity
College Neuroscience
When collecting data through skilled observation of a 4 year old with autism, the COTA should focus on:
  1. gross and fine motor development
  2. muscle tone
  3. perceptual skills
  4. ability to relate to others
None Neuroscience
The less common forms of Dementia include Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, and Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease.
  1. True
  2. False
Graduate Neuroscience
We know that there is a genetic component to ASD because:
  1. It runs in families.
  2. It is more likely to be in identical twins than fraternal twins.
  3. In some cases, parents and other relatives of a child with ASD show mild impairments in social and communicative skills or engage in repetitive behaviors.
  4. all of the above
Graduate Neuroscience
Current brain studies show that one overiding characteristic in the brains of people with autism is
  1. altered brain color.
  2. an abnormally low amount of white matter and gray matter.
  3. an abnormally high amount of gray matter and white matter.
  4. an absence of neural synapses.
Graduate Neuroscience
Under DSM IV criteria for language disorders, which of the following were listed separately as possible characteristics of autism?
  1. qualitative impairment in social interaction, and qualitative impairments in communication.
  2. hand flapping and widely set eyes.
  3. digestive problems and large head circumference.
  4. Rhett syndrome.
Grade 12 Neuroscience
What is the exact cause of Parkinson's Disease?
  1. drinking caffeine
  2. little excercise
  3. anxiety
  4. none of the above
None Neuroscience
Which term means the surgical repair of a nerve?
  1. neuroplasty
  2. neurorrhaphy
  3. neuralgia
  4. polyneuritis
Graduate Neuroscience
According to the DSM V, characteristics of Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder do not include:
  1. Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity.
  2. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction.
  3. Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships.
  4. Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities .
None Neuroscience
One of the signs of downs syndrome is floppiness
  1. True
  2. False
Graduate Neuroscience
Differences in the cerebellum of persons with ASD may be related to difficulty in
  1. balance and posture.
  2. some cognitive functions of language.
  3. coordination of voluntary motor movements.
  4. all of the above.
Graduate Neuroscience
In Arkansas, the incidence of ASD is
  1. 1 in 1000 children.
  2. 1 in 55 children.
  3. 1 in 65 children.
  4. 1 in 55 boys.
Graduate Neuroscience
At present, one gene, CDH 8 has been discovered to relate directly to autism. The characteristics of autism that persons with mutated CDH 8 had in common were:
  1. socal communication disorders and onset early in development.
  2. Stereotypical, repetitive behaviors, and difficulty with transitions.
  3. intellectual disability.
  4. large head, widely spaced eyes and gastrointestinal disorders.
Graduate Neuroscience
According to the CDC 1 in 42
  1. boys have ASD.
  2. girls have ASD.
  3. children will have ASD in the next 10 years.
  4. children in Arkansas have ASD.
Graduate Neuroscience
Researchers say that gut bacteria are more abundant in some individuals with autism, which may
  1. increase intestinal health.
  2. cause nausea.
  3. lead to increased intelligence.
  4. produce waste products that may affect brain activity.
Grade 11 Neuroscience
What does the basal ganglia do?
Graduate Neuroscience
Early diagnosis of autism is important because
  1. early intervention has been research proven to improve outcomes for children with ASD.
  2. children who do not receive early diagnosis are unlikely to be diagnosed later in life.
  3. early diagnosis correlates with more severe autism later in life.
  4. early diagnosis will prevent gastrointestinal symptoms.
Graduate Neuroscience
The pervasiveness and variability of differences in the brains of people diagnosed with autism is important to us as speech-language pathologists because
  1. We can pin-point exactly where the neural anomalies occur in the brain and design our therapy to remediate deficits in this area.
  2. we must look for many behaviors and characteristics as we plan remediation.
  3. Complicated causes mean that medical intervention for ASD may be a long time in coming, therefore effective therapeutic intervention is even more important at this time.
  4. b. and c.
