1.  What is the typical number (mode) of credits specifically focused in vestibular sciences according to pilot data of an ongoing survey of recent AuD graduates and faculty? 0 credits 3 credits 6 credits 9 credits

2.  What is the average percentage of total course work specifically focused on vestibular sciences according to a recent survey? 2% 5% 10% 15%

3.  What is an appropriate vestibular screening tool for the pediatric population? Vestibular Symptom Scale Dizziness Handicap Inventory Standing on 1 leg vHIT

4.  What constitutes a positive Fukuda Step Test? Patient turns 45 degrees or more to one side Patient moves forward 3 feet Patient does not move position Patient moves backwards

5.  What constitutes a positive Head impulse Test? Eyes maintain fixation on examiner's nose Eyes produce torsional nystagmus Eyes produce pendular nystagmus Eyes move with head movement and generate a corrective saccade to refixate on the examiner's nose

8.  Which of the following is not a type of VRT, as presented in lecture? Habituation Adaptation Multisensory Manipulation Sensory Substitution

9.  Which of the following types of vestibular disorders has the highest potential for improvement with VRT? Fluctuating central vestibular pathology Stable central balance pathology (non-vestibular) Fluctuating bilateral vestibular hypofunction Stable unilateral vestibular hypofunction

10.  Which of the following types of vestibular disorders has the lowest potential for improvement with VRT? Stable central vestibular pathology Fluctuating central balance pathology (non-vestibular) Stable bilateral vestibular hypofunction Fluctuating unilateral vestibular hypofunction

11.  Which best describes Adaptation type of VRT? Head movement exercises paired with visual targets, aimed to improve VOR function Head movement exercises with no set visual targets, aimed to reduce patient symptoms Exercises and strategies that engage other parts of the balance system to "make up" for loss of vestibular function This isn't a type of VRT

12.  Which best describes Sensory Substitution type of VRT? Head movement exercises paired with visual targets, aimed to improve VOR function Head movement exercises with no set visual targets, aimed to reduce patient symptoms Exercises and strategies that engage other parts of the balance system to "make up" for loss of vestibular function This isn't a type of VRT

15.  Which of the following activities would be appropriate for home-based VRT that is focusing on Sensory Substitution? Attending a class on mindfulness-based meditation, to accept and "move on" from feelings of dizziness Performing soduku daily, while seated at the breakfast table. Installing night-lights in the hallways and bathrooms, for better visibility for nighttime bathroom visits. While seated, reading the infomercial 1-800 number while gently shaking one's head "no" (left to right), for 20 seconds, five times a day.
