Brodmann area 44, or the _________ area, is an important area in spoken language. Wernicke Association Broca Prefrontal cortical None of the above (Broca) The Wernicke area is also known as : The auditory association cortex The primary auditory cortex Brodmann area 27 The insular cortex

All of the above (The auditory association cortex) Strokes are a loss of blood supply to the brain, classified as either: Permanent or transient Ischemic or hemorrhagic Atherosclerotic or occlusive Hypoperfusional or reversible None of the above (Ischemic or hemorrhagic) In diaschisis, brain function is disrupted in regions distant from the _________ but ___________ to it by neuronal pathways. Infarcted area; connected Occlusion; unconnected Artery; connected Lesion; unconnected (Infarcted area; connected) Aneurysms are pouches formed in weakened arterial walls. The stretched arterial walls within aneurysms are susceptible to rupture; when this occurs, it is referred to as: Collateral sprouting

Hemorrhagic stroke Extracerebral hemorrhage Ischemic stroke None of the above (Hemorrhagic stroke) If basic perception in a sensory modality is intact, then failure to recognize familiar stimuli in that modality is known as _________. Apraxia Aphasia Agnosia Alexia (Agnosia) Match the agnosia to the area of the brain in which damage is responsible: Auditory agnosia--- Tactile agnosia---- Visual agnosia---- Prosopagnosia----

  • Parietal lobe
  • Temporal lobe
  • Posterior right hemisphere
  • Occipital lobe Auditory agnosia----Temporal lobe Tactile agnosia----parietal lobe Visual agnosia----Occipital lobe Prosopagnosia---- posterior right hemisphere A person who presents with a lesion in the right hemisphere which damages the optic radiation will show the following deficit: Visual field cut to the left half of each eye. Visual field cut to the right half of each eye. Visual field cut to the right upper quadrant of eacheye. (Visual field cut to the left half of each eye.) A person who presents with a lesion to the posterior cerebral artery is most likely to show which of the following types of aphasia? Wernicke's aphasia. Transcortical motor aphasia. Transcortical sensory aphasia.

Global aphasia. (Transcortical sensory aphasia.) Watershed areas of the brain are more vulnerable to damage than other parts of the brain in instances of: Ischemic stroke. Hypoperfusion. Hemorrhagic stroke. Traumatic brain injury (Hypoperfusion.) T/F: Recovery for a person with a hemorrhagic stroke is always better than recovery for a person with an ischemic stroke. False T/F: The amount of recovery seen is greatest for anomic aphasia. False T/F: The theory of functional adaptation involves use of compensatory mechanisms for behavior instead of assuming neuroplasticity. True Tumors are likely to be a larger size than the size of pooled blood from a hemorrhage before they show symptoms in a person because: Tumors tend to come in older people who have more space in the skull with smaller brain volume, while hemorrhagic stroke tends to occur in younger people with larger brain volume.

The slower rate of growth of tumors gives the brain time to acclimate. Tumors may be benign, and may therefore not show symptoms. Tumors can break apart, so they don't create as much pressure in the brain. (The slower rate of growth of tumors gives the brain time to acclimate.) Hemorrhagic stroke is more likely to be fatal in a younger person than in an older person because: Younger people tend to show more risk-taking behavior, leading to worse outcomes than for older people. Younger people have larger brain volumes, leaving less room for accumulation of blood within the skull without fatal consequences. Older people go to doctors more often, so they are more likely to catch an aneurysm before it bursts. (Younger people have larger brain volume, leaving less room for accumulation of blood within the skull without fatal consequence.) Angular gyrus (Brodmann's area# 39) is in __________lobe Frontal Temporal Parietal Occipital (Parietal) The potential implications of a single unilateral lesion in the temporal-parietal region of the left hemisphere include the following: Difficulty with naming Difficulty understanding what is said

writing, impaired repetition, and intact naming None of the above (None of the above) Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by: Fluent spontaneous speech, mildly impaired auditory comprehension, and impaired reading and writing Fluent spontaneous speech, poor auditory comprehension, impaired naming and repetition, and relatively good writing Fluent spontaneous speech, intact auditory comprehension, and impaired naming, reading, writing, and repetition Nonfluent spontaneous speech and impaired auditory comprehension, naming and repetition None of the above (Fluent spontaneous speech, poor auditory comprehension, impaired naming and repetition, and relatively good writing) T/F: The development of computerized tomography enabled localization of lesions without need for autopsy. True T/F: The purpose of functional MRI is to look for brain tumors. False

The validity of classification of aphasia is limited by several factors, among them: language profile of many people doesn't fit a category (25-70% of people) people within a category are not homogenously impaired expressive/receptive aphasia, sensory/motor dichotomies are misleading, as most people with aphasia show both people can evolve from one type to another all of the above (all of the above) Classification of aphasia according to associative-connectionist philosophy (e.g., as in BDAE) includes four parameters: Naming, fluency, auditory comprehension, and repetition Naming, fluency, reading, and writing Fluency, repetition, auditory comprehension, and reading comprehension Repetition, auditory comprehension, naming, and writing (Naming, fluency, auditory comprehension, and repetition) Fluency in aphasia is determined by considering several parameters, including the following: Articulatory agility Whole word repetition

Prosody A and C (A and C) T/F: In the auditory deficit of slow rise time, the person tends to miss the last part of the message. False John Smith presented with difficulty answering simple questions, both "WH" and yes/no. He nodded to indicate that he recognized his name, but he showed reduced accuracy for yes/no questions about the date and his current location. He produced very few approximations of words, and those produced were difficult to understand. Most of his utterances were stereotypies. He showed difficulty repeating even single words. The type of aphasia that he likely presents with is: Broca's aphasia Conduction aphasia Wernicke's aphasia Global aphasia Transcortical motor aphasia (TMA) Transcortical sensory aphasia (TSA) (Global aphasia) A person shows difficulty following your instruction to point to a word on the page.

False Which of the following is the most malignant and rapidly growing of intracranial tumors? Astrocytoma Meningioma Glioblastoma multiforme (Glioblastoma multiforme) Coup/contrecoup injuries are types of: Penetrating brain injury Closed head injury (Closed head injury) When assessing a patient with aphasia, standardized tests are particularly useful when the clinician wants to: Communicate with other professionals about the patient's performance Compare a patient's test performance with that of other patients or with that of non-brain-injured adults Compare a patient's performance across all test occasions

All of the above (All of the above) Before testing a patient's auditory comprehension that involves hand movements (e.g., make a fist), it is important to assess: Swallowing skills Verbal expression Orientation Limb apraxia (Limb apraxia) The Rating Scale of Speech Characteristics from the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination is a subjective scale that can be used to construct a speech profile, which may be compared with profiles of major aphasia syndromes. The rating scale includes the following: All of the above Phrase length Grammatical form Articulatory agility Melodic line (all of the above) Standardization of the examination given to a patient can be affected by:

The amount of time needed to give the exam The location of the examination All of the above The cultural difference of the patient (The cultural difference of the patient) When a clinician examines the speech production of adults with aphasia, it is important to rule out: Dysarthria None of these Both AOS and dysarthria Apraxia of speech (AOS) (Both AOS and dysarthria) Variables that may affect the probability that an aphasic adult will benefit from therapy include the following: All of these The patient's medical and physical condition Patient's age Nature and severity of brain injury (All of these)

Patients who remain globally aphasic one month or longer after onset of ischemic CVA are likely to: Remain globally aphasic Develop cognitive deficits Demonstrate dramatic improvement Demonstrate slow but steady improvement (Remain globally aphasic) You ask a client to name a picture of a canteloupe and he says, "cantatope." He is showing what characteristic of aphasia? Recurrent perseveration Neologism Semantic paraphasia Phonemic paraphasia (Phonemic paraphasia) You show a person a picture of a ball and he says, "Bat." This is an example of which characteristic of aphasia? Circumlocution Neologism Semantic paraphasia

Phonemic paraphasia Recurrent perseveration (Semantic paraphasia) T/F: In assessment of the modality of auditory comprehension, an area to assess would be grammar, a level within that area would be active sentences, and a task for that area and level would be pointing to a target picture in field of three after listening to a sentence. True To best ascertain that the assessment question clearly determines the deficit in the intended target area, the clinician should: Give the client adequate time to respond to questions Avoid involving multiple modalities in an assessment task Enlist the help of the client's family or other support (Avoid involving multiple modalities in an assessment task) T/F: Diet, medication, and lifestyle changes can reduce the likelihood of ischemic stroke but not hemorrhagic stroke. False An application question for you: You get a consult for a patient (53-year-old gentleman with ischemic stroke) admitted to the emergency department at 3.00pm. In the emergency department, the neurologist notes moderate aphasia. The patient received tPA at 4.00pm. It is okay to assess the patient next morning because: Patient's status could improve following tPA and rest Patient is young and will not have much impairment

Patient will be sedated for tPA (Patient's status could improve following tPA and rest) T/F: Glioblastoma is the most malignant fast-growing glioma True T/F: WAB-R assesses spoken and written language production, construction, praxis, and calculation skills.

True T/F: Both dysarthria and apraxia of speech can co-occur with aphasia depending on the lesion sites involved. True T/F: If a patient said "paper" for "pen" but quickly corrected his response, he is exhibiting appropriate verbal self-monitoring. True Which of the following types of aphasia is the most severe one? Broca's aphasia Mixed transcortical aphasia Global aphasia Transcortical motor aphasia (Global aphasia) T/F: In typical communication situations: Speech is so rapidly produced that we cannot rely on visual observation of others' speech articulation to understand what they are saying. This fact is against the mirror neuron theory of action understanding. True You are assessing a 70-year old man post-stroke. He is unable to name any of the pictures you show (he keeps saying "what is this?...oh man!"). His ability to name is better when you provide him with descriptions of objects or definitions of concepts. He has no word retrieval errors during general conversations. Which of the following do you suspect is the most likely cause for his naming difficulty? Aphasia

SFA CILT PACE MIT (PACE) If the client keeps saying "pen" for the first 4 items of the Boston Naming Test. He is exhibiting


Neologism Perseveration Circumlocution Disorientation (Perseveration) Which of the following treatment approaches "requires engagement in tasks to act upon the semantic or phonologic characteristics of words with the goal of altering levels of activation or interaction among lexical representations implemented in the normal process of word retrieval."

Restorative Reorganization Compensatory strategies (Restorative) T/F: In case of word retrieval training, errorless trials showed better outcome than errorful trials. False T/F: In case of phonological alexia, reading real words is significantly better than reading nonwords. True The code that is necessary to document current status and status anticipated as a goal in therapy is the: CPT code ICD-10 code G code PDR code (G code) A client presents with moderate Broca's aphasia, secondary to CVA, characterized by reduced verbal output, reduced word retrieval skills, poor repetition at the phrase level with better repetition for single words, relatively good comprehension for written and verbal tasks for two step instructions. The following is a session objective for the client's language therapy: In order to improve word retrieval, the client will name pictures of familiar objects with phonemic cues with 70% accuracy. What is wrong with this objective?
