Front 11

You have been asked to perform an informal assessment of a patient who is still on the acute side of the hospital. After asking him to engage in conversation, name items you have brought (e.g., pencil, cup, comb), point to items in the room, and repeat words and phrases, you determine he has a severe auditory comprehension deficit, is able to repeat, has anomia, and produces fluent paraphasic utterances. Which of the types of aphasia below would you consider the patient to have?

Back 11

Transcortical sensory aphasia

Front 12

Aprosodia, a loss of the expression and/or reception of prosody, is associated most commonly with:

Back 12

Right hemisphere damage.

Front 13

Injury of the brain at the point of impact in an acceleration injury is known as a _________ injury.

Back 13

Coup.

Front 14

Why is repetition of words and/or phrases impaired in patients with conduction aphasia?

Back 14

There is a lesion interfering with the transmission between Broca's area and Wernicke's area.

Front 15

Atypical cerebral dominance may result in:

Back 15

A right hemisphere aphasia.

Front 16

The inability to remember a period of time before a TBI is called:

Back 16

Anterograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories for a certain period of time before the injury occurred.

Front 17

The inability to form new memories and attain new learning for an extended period of time or permanently following a TBI is called:

Back 17

Retrograde amnesia

Anterograde amnesia occurs when the TBI patient is unable to form new memories and learning for an extended period of time or permanently. Post-traumatic amnesia is secondary to a TBI and may be transitory or permanent, consisting of either anterograde amnesia, retrograde amnesia, or a mixture of both.

Front 18

There are three types of damage in CHI TBI

- AAC

- Caregiver training

Front 20

Treatment of linguistic deficits include

Back 20

-recognize boundaries of space applicable to task.

Bookness

-attend to the left side; used after edgeness during book reading

Front 22

Dementia

Back 22

The syndrome which includes progression of memory loss and deterioration of one or more cognitive functions which impedes the ability to perform activities of daily living.

Front 23

spacial retrieval training

Back 23

Allows SLP to teach old and new behaviors or new information to patients with dementia

Front 24

spared- memory approaches

allows SLP to focus on the abilities that remain within the patient

Front 25

Procedural - Memory approaches

Back 25

can focus on basic acts of daily living

Front 26

Errorless Learning

Back 26

focuses on new learning by removing "trial and error" learning and trying to reduce the amount of errors made during each lesson.
