Q

(a) Define the terms incidence and prevalence with respect to the occurrence of a disorder. (b) Further, explain which of these two provides information about the present spread of a disorder and which provides information about the overall spread of a disorder.

A

Incidence is the number of new cases of a disorder in a given period and prevalence is the number of total cases of a disorder in a given period. Incidence informs us about the current spread of a disorder and prevalence about the overall spread of a disorder.

Q

(a) State and (b) explain the three characteristics of stuttering.

A

The three characteristics of stuttering are repetition of sounds and syllables, sound prolongations, and broken words. Repetition of sounds and syllables would be repeating a specific sound or syllable of a word and having trouble moving past that sound. (ex. m, m, m, m) Sound prolongations would be holding onto a specific sound in speech and prolonging it’s sound. (ex. mmmmmmm) Broken words are unintentional long pauses after each sound. (ex. m (pause) )

Q

Describe (a) the process of theorizing and (b) testing of a theory using an example.

A

Theorizing is the process of connecting ideas and statements to create an explanation for an observation. An example of this would be lack of sleep is connected to growing rates of depression and anxiety. The testing of a theory can be explained using the same example. To test this theory you must compare individuals with lack of sleep and the correct amount of sleep, investigate the logistics to determine how theory can be tested, compare with other theories to determine if there would be a scientific advance if it’s results prove more likely than other theories, and finally testing the theory through series of experiments and observations to see how well the theory stands and if it is accurate.

Q

Why might it be difficult to clearly identify the role of genetics in causing autism?

A

Identifying the role of genetics in the cause of Autism is difficult because there are multiple allele frequencies that have shown similarities in the formation of Autism and there hasn’t been a specific one identified. It is also difficult to identify because Autism can’t be identified prior to pregnancy or while pregnant.
