1.  CAPD is diagnosed using:
  1. a battery of tests that may include electrophysiological procedures and behavioral procedures
  2. questionnaires
  3. only the pure tone audiogram
  4. ENG/VNG measures
2.  CAPD co-morbidity with other developmental disorders in children can be best explained by:
  1. parenting style
  2. nutrition
  3. the fact that perceptual, language and cognitive functions share an interconnected neural network
  4. all of the above
3.  Which of the following statements is true about attention and auditory processing?
  1. attention is the sole determinant of auditory processing performance
  2. attention and auditory processing are unrelated
  3. attention can modulate auditory processing but auditory processing is not completely dependent on attention
  4. auditory processing issues can impact attention, but not vice versa
4.  Management of CAPD includes:
  1. both top down and bottom up approaches
  2. a multidisciplinary approach
  3. strengthening auditory/listening skills as well as enhancing signal access
  4. all of the above
5.  Which of the following statements is true about cognitive decline and auditory processing?
  1. central auditory function is preserved later in life, even when pure tone sensitivity declines
  2. some research has indicated that CAPD may be a precursor to cognitive impairment later in life
  3. there is no relationship between cognitive decline later in life and auditory processing
  4. auditory processing problems early in life have been found to cause early dementia
6.  Strengthening which of the following skills in individuals with CAPD supports auditory processing, listening and music appreciation, and shows strong correlations with academic performance, vocabulary and listening comprehension?
  1. working memory
  2. phoneme production
  3. pitch matching
  4. turn taking
7.  Auditory training:
  1. has not been shown to be effective for individuals with CAPD
  2. has been shown to support structural reorganization and improve functional behaviors depending on factors such as methodology used, motivation, and others
  3. has as its primary goal to improve spoken and written language skills and should be conducted by a classroom educator
  4. is not supported by current guidelines for management of CAPD
8.  Computerized auditory training programs:
  1. are not evidence based or validated
  2. may be of use in the future, but there is not enough data to support their use at this time
  3. are available for use with both children and adults
  4. have not been shown to be effective for individuals with CAPD
9.  Children with CAPD may have the following issues in school:
  1. auditory discrimination difficulties
  2. difficulties understanding when background noise is present
  3. poor spelling and reading skills
  4. all of the above
10.  Which of the following is NOT a suggestion provided in the article to support academic success for children with CAPD?
  1. pre-teaching or previewing classroom materials
  2. use of soft, soothing background music in the classroom during spelling tests
  3. training teachers on amplification/ALDs
  4. group auditory training activities
