1.  What does CAEP stand for in the context of this presentation?
  1. Central Auditory Evaluation for Pediatrics
  2. Clinical Audiology Experts & Professionals
  3. Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials
  4. Caffeinated Audiologists Evaluating Pediatrics
2.  What is one primary reason for adding CAEP testing to pediatric audiology services?
  1. To replace ABR testing
  2. To replace behavioral hearing testing
  3. To provide additional information about auditory access when behavioral information is limited or unclear
  4. To determine word recognition thresholds using electrophysiology
3.  Which of the following is a patient population that may benefit from CAEP testing?
  1. Children with inconsistent behavioral responses
  2. Only children with normal hearing
  3. Only patients who already have hearing aids
  4. Patients with sudden anger or frustration from noises such as chewing, tapping or repetative pen clicking
4.  CAEPs are intended to do what?
  1. Replace all existing pediatric audiologic measures
  2. Complement existing audiologic testing
  3. Eliminate the need for behavioral testing
  4. Diagnose developmental delays
5.  Which of the following transducers can be used to present stimuli during CAEP testing?
  1. Soundfield
  2. Insert earphones
  3. Supraaural earphones
  4. All of the above
6.  Which patient state is most appropriate for CAEP testing?
  1. Actively playing and moving around the room
  2. Awake and attentive
  3. Natural sleep
  4. Sleep under sedation or general anesthesia
7.  Which of the following is part of a basic CAEP clinical setup?
  1. EEG cap with a minimum of 10 electrodes
  2. Electrode set up similar to an ABR setup (3-4 electrodes)
  3. No electrodes are needed
  4. Electrode set up similar to cVEMP with one electrode on the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid (SCM)
8.  Which factor(s) can make pediatric CAEP testing more challenging?
  1. Child fatigue or movement
  2. Patients that are tactile defenssive
  3. Not having sufficient normative data for infants
  4. All of the above
9.  Which of the following is NOT a good reason to add CAEP testing to a pediatric audiologic evaluation?
  1. To compare unaided versus aided responses to speech sounds in a 5-month-old infant
  2. Evaluating aided responses to help determine whether hearing aids are providing audibility or whether cochlear implantation should be considered
  3. Determining whether a toddler can hear their parent quietly opening a snack bag from three rooms away
  4. Looking for cortical-level responses to sound in a patient with bilateral ANSD who is unable to participate reliably in behavioral testing
10.  Which of the following should be considered when determining whether a CAEP response represents useful, interpretable clinical data?
  1. Replicability and waveform morphology
  2. Noise/artifact and recording conditions
  3. Timing, age, and developmental context
  4. All of the above
