D-KEFS Administration and Interpretation Flashcards
On the original version of the Trail Making Test there were two conditions. On the D-KEFS Trail Making test, there are how many conditions? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
D. 5
Which D-KEFS Trail Making Test condition measures switching between number and letter sequences? A. Condition 1 B. Condition 2 C. Condition 3 D. Condition 4
D. Condition 4
Which D-KEFS Trail Making Condition measures visual scanning? A. Condition 1 B. Condition 2 C. Condition 3 D. Condition 4
Condition 1
Set loss errors may be indicative of: A. Failure to maintain cognitive set B. Receptive language deficit C. Distractibility D. Any or all of the above
D. All of the above
On the D-KEFS Verbal Fluency test, the third condition requires the child to:
A. Switch between recalling words from two different semantic categories
B. Recall words that start with a particular letter
C. Recall words that fit within a semantic category
D. None of the above
A. Switch between recalling words from two different semantic categories
When the Letter Fluency portion of the D-KEFS Verbal Fluency test is significantly weaker than the Category Fluency portion of the D-KEFS Verbal Fluency test, this may indicate: A. A focal left temporal lesion B. A diffuse left temporal lesion C. A focal left frontal lesion D. A diffuse frontal lesion
C. A focal left frontal lesion
F-A-S weaker than Animals/Boys Names = left frontal lesion
When the Letter Fluency portion of the D-KEFS Verbal Fluency test is significantly better than the Category Fluency portion of the D-KEFS Verbal Fluency test, this may indicate: A. A focal left temporal lesion B. A diffuse left temporal lesion C. A focal left frontal lesion D. A diffuse frontal lesion
A. A focal left temporal lesion
F-A-S is significantly better than Animals/Boys Names
(Animals/Boys Names impaired) = left temporal lesion
When evaluating repetition errors on a task, errors that occur close together are likely to reflect: A. Immediate memory deficits B. Long-term retrieval deficits C. Perseveration errors D. Receptive language deficits
C. Perseveration errors
When evaluating repetition errors on a task, errors that occur far apart are likely to reflect: A. Immediate memory deficits B. Long-term retrieval deficits C. Perseveration errors D. Receptive language deficits
A. Immediate memory deficits
What D-KEFS test is the nonverbal analog to the Verbal Fluency test? A. CWI B. TMT C. Word Context D. Design Fluency
D. Design Fluency
What D-KEFS test is a modern version of the classic Stroop test? A. CWI B. TMT C. Word Context D. Design Fluency
A. CWI
There are four conditions to the D-KEFS CWI test. Which condition was designed to measure switching ability? A. Condition 1 B. Condition 2 C. Condition 3 D. Condition 4
D. Condition 4
A child with a high number of self-corrected errors is thought to have: A. Poor cognitive flexibility B. Good self-monitoring C. Poor processing speed D. Poor verbal skills
B. Good self-monitoring
What is the most likely explanation for a pattern of performance where the completion time is above average but the error rate is high?
A. May reflect poor processing speed
B. May reflect poor receptive language skills
C. May reflect impulsivity, because they work quickly at the expense of accuracy
D. May reflect distractibility
C. May reflect impulsivity, because they work quickly at the expense of accuracy
What is one of the major differences between the Card Sorting test on the NEPSY-II and the Card Sort Test on the D-KEFS?
A. On the NEPSY-II version, the child is required to verbalize how the card sorts were made
B. On the D-KEFS version the child is required to verbalize how the card sorts were made
C. On the NEPSY version, part of the test requires the child to verbally describe what principle was used by the examiner to sort the cards
D. On the D-KEFS version, the child is not required to verbalize how the card sorts were made
B. On the D-KEFS version the child is required to verbalize how the card sorts were made
