Nt1330 Unit 9 Study Guide
1. What is the difference between “typical” and “normal?” * Normal distribution coincides with the bell curve, Majority in the middle average * Typical describes what it considered customary or expected, considered normal but they are not truly synonymous
2. What is the difference between formal and informal tests? Standardized and criterion referenced? Behavioral and objective or instrumental?
Standardized testing compares patients performance to that of peers; same test given in some manner to allow all test takers reliable comparison. Norms can be established, individual performance compared.
* Criterion References testing measures an individual’s performance with respect to an expected criteria or established norm …show more content…
What is “sampling” with respect to assessment? Why is this Dr. Hahn’s preferred method?
Sampling with respect to assessment is when what the patient says is transcribed and analyzed. Speech sample is transcribed phonetically so that pronunciation can be analyzed for impairment or language sample is transcribed verbatim in order to analyze for syntax, semantics, morphology and pragmatics.
5. Be able to define or at least recognize the definition of the following: * Articulation- Refers to speech sound production * Speech- Vocalized form of human communication. * Fluency- refers to the forward flow of speech * Optimum and habitual pitch * MLU - (Mean Length of Utterance)- measure of linguistic productivity in children * Apraxia- motor speech disorder, motor signals from brain to articulation “short circuit” and cause incorrect movements, resulting in incorrect sound production * Dysarthria- motor speech disorder resulting from neurological injury of the motor component of the motor-speech system. * Semantics- the study of meaning, relationships between words, phrases, signs and symbols * Pragmatics- studies the ways in which context contributes to
