Intro to SIPT Flashcards
“Touch your nose” or asking “Who is that?” when looking in mirror is testing body concept or body scheme?
Testing body concept (cognitive)
T/F: The only way to work on body scheme is through sensory and motor planning
True. It is an unconscious ability, unlike body concept, which is cognitive.
T/F: Tracing is an example of feedback
True. You are matching visual input to your action and are able to correct the action while you are doing it. You have control over what you are doing.
T/F: Feedback occurs when they’re are changes within the environment which you need to adjust for; you have no control
False. Feedforward occurs when they’re are changes within the environment which you need to adjust for. E.g., playing soccer–you don’t have control over the ball when someone else is kicking it and you need to adjust to what is happening in the outside world e.g., wind, other players
T/F: An example of feedback related postural control is when you are pushed and you have to readjust your body
True–this is a reactive adjustment, not an anticipatory adjustment
T/F: An example of feedback related postural control is dropping a pen and reaching down to pick it up
False. This is an example of feedforward related postural control–you have to make anticipatory adjustments to complete the task. If problem, child may go down to pick up a pen and not be able to return
T/F: A child who goes down to pick up a pen that has fallen, but is not able to return to his seat has a problem with feedforward postural control
True. Must make anticipatory adjustments to complete task
Which of the following regarding the SIPT is false:
A. SIPT is revision of the Southern California Sensory Integration Tests (SCSIT)
B. Extensive psychometric examination has been done on the SIPT
C. The SIPT is continuously revised to fit the current population
D. Has predictive validity related to academic achievement
E. Is still used in research and in practice today
C. The SIPT was published in 1989, so it was based on a different population than we are seeing now
The SIPT was:
A. Developed as an assessment tool to measure aspects of SI and praxis that were not before tested
B. Considered the most comprehensive, standardized assessment of SI and praxis
C. Includes 17 standardized, computer scored tests measure visual skills, bilateral integration and sequencing, praxis and vestibular-prop functions
D. Served as a theory development tool
E. All of the above
E. All of the above
What was the purpose of the development of the SIPT?
Developed as an assessment tool to measure aspects of SI and praxis that were not before tested
Somatosensory is related to which two sensory systems?
Tactile and prop/kinesthesia
Areas addressed in the SIPT include all of the following except which? A. Visual Perceptual B. Visual Motor C. Color coding D. Somatosensory E. Vestibular and Postural F. Praxis
C. Color coding
What is the appropriate population to use the SIPT on?
- Standardized data available for children ages 4 years-8 years 11 months
- Used selectively on some adults, older than standardized sample
- May be used as a template for observation on younger children, but not standardized
- Be cautious if used on older children e.g., teenagers
How does data on the SIPT provide info related to occupation?
Provides detailed info related to client factors and skills that support performance in every day life
T/F: When used on its own, the SIPT provides conclusive data on the sensory profile of a child
False. SIPT data must be interpreted in conjunction with other evaluation data (e.g., parent or teacher info related to sensory responsiveness, functional performance of fine/gross motor skills, clinical observations, impact of child’s behavior and abilities on social and environmental context)
-Won’t do an eval based off of just one standardized assessment
