View Course Details Please note: exam questions are subject to change.


1.  The three parameters for auditory skill development as outlined by Nevins and Garber include: Auditory Function, Meaningful Input and
  1. Age at Implantation
  2. Communication Philosophy
  3. Situational Context
  4. Cognitive Precursors
2.  The model of auditory skill development proposed by the presenters/authors, looks at which three parameters?
  1. consonant production, prosody and vocabulary
  2. auditory function, meaningful language input and situational context
  3. auditory memory, visual memory, and sequencing
  4. low frequency thresholds, mid-frequency threshods and high frequency threshods
3.  One level within a Structured Listening task in which topics or categories create a larger cognitive set for listening is called a:
  1. challenge set
  2. bridge set
  3. transition set
  4. comprehension set
4.  When measuring "Identification", a clinician may accept which response from a child when he or she has identified the word or sound?
  1. a motor response such as pointing to a picture
  2. a speech response, i.e. repeating what was heard
  3. Both A and B are acceptable responses from the child
  4. None of the above
5.  To ensure that therapy goals are relevant, a clinician should:
  1. Use the same goals for children of the same language age
  2. Consider the child's cultural background, language situations and interests when selecting therapy goals
  3. Use the same goals for children in the same classroom
  4. Have the child review and approve all therapy goals
6.  Using a building block approach, the most basic auditory function is:
  1. Awareness
  2. discrimination
  3. patterning
  4. comprehension
7.  Using a building block approach, the most complex auditory function is:
  1. awareness
  2. discrimination
  3. patterning
  4. comprehension
8.  In terms of input, the most complex is:
  1. phonemes
  2. words
  3. sentences
  4. conversation
9.  The visual model of auditory skill development can be used for:
  1. mapping a child's current auditory skill level
  2. mapping goals and identifying target skills for therapy
  3. both A and B
  4. neither A nor B
10.  Assessments that may help you determine a child's auditory skill level include:
  1. SPICE, APT-HI
  2. COSI, APHAB
  3. ANL, SRT
  4. VRA, BOA
