SLP10416_PRACTICE TEST

Central Language Thought - Integration

A teacher asks a student, “Why do you think the character is sad?” The child replies, “Because he lost his toy,” integrating both context and personal experiences. This demonstrates:

Auditory reception

A 5 year old child is presented with a pure tone during an audiology test. He responds by turning his head, but cannot identify what the sound is. Which SLPM segment is primarily involved?

Speech actualization

A client with dysarthria shows accurate word retrieval but slurred articulation d/t weak labial and lingual muscles. This deficit lies in:

Discrimination

A client with hearing aids reports hearing sounds clearly but struggles to follow conversations in noisy environments. Which perceptual process is likely impaired?

Syntactic decoding

A patient can comprehend single words but cannot understand complex sentences. This deficit suggests impairment in:

Semantic formulation

A client’s speech is grammatically correct but lacks meaning d/t word-finding difficulties. Which SLPM component is compromised?

Speech programming 1

A patient with Broca’s aphasia has intact comprehension but struggles to transform phonologic representations into motor speech commands. Which SLPM process is disrupted?

Auditory Reception - Analysis and Transmission

A stroke patient can detect sounds but has difficulty distinguishing between /p/ and /b/. Which SLPM process is most affected?

Central Language Thought - Formulation

During a naming task, a client sees a picture of an apple, retrieves the word, and organizes its phonologic and morphosyntactic rules before speaking. This is an example of:

Speech initiation

A stroke survivor can plan speech motor sequences but groping is observed at the beginning. Which step is impaired?

Central Language Thought - Comprehension

A patient with Wernicke’s aphasia speaks fluently but produces nonsensical sentences. Which component is impaired?

Auditory Reception - Sensation

A child listens to a song and is able to reproduce the melody and rhythm through humming. This reflects the role of:

Speech Coordination-Transmission

When reading a story aloud, a student produces smooth, coordinated speech with correct stress and intonation ensuring the movements do not overshoot. Which two SLPM components ensure this?

Formulation → Speech programming 1 → Speech programming 2 → Speech actualization

A client successfully retrieves words, organizes phonologic features, sends commands to the articulators, and produces fluent speech. Which sequence is correct?

Auditory Analysis-Transmission

A musician distinguishes between high-pitched and low pitched sounds during ear training. Which auditory segment is engaged?

Non meaningful repetition

During therapy, a client can repeat the word “banana” correctly after the clinician says it, but when asked to point to it, he repeated banana instead. This is an example of:

Language Cognitive Representation

A child hears a story, recalls past experiences, and relates them to the present situation. Which process is this?

Language Cognitive Representation - Integration

A 7 year old child hears a dog bark, identifies it as a “dog,” and recalls seeing dogs in the park. Which SLPM function is being used?
