NEPSY Flashcards
This type of NEPSY-II score considers both completion time and the number of errors. What is this type of score called?
Combined Score
Design Copying Global Score would be an example of what type of NEPSY-II score?
Process Score
An examiner suspected that a child may have a learning difference in the area of math. What type of NEPSY-II assessment would serve as a good starting point?
Diagnostic Battery
What is the suitable age range for the NEPSY-II?
3-0 to 16-11 years
The Fingertip Tapping subtest on the NEPSY-II is recommended for all of the clinical groups below except one, which one?
Suspected reading disorder
What is the possible neurocognitive explanation for why a child would perform better on the Response Set (Part 2) than Auditory Attention (Part 1) on the Auditory Attention and Response Set subtest on the NEPSY-II?
The child did not initially understand the demands of the task.
The child needed the difficulty level of the task to increase in order to be interested in the task.
The child lacked motivation to perform the easier portion of the task.
What is the best explanation for the following pattern of scores on the NEPSY’s Auditory Attention and Response Set subtest: Response Set Combined (scaled score = 10), Total Commission Errors (percentile rank = 11-25%), and Total Correct (percentile rank = 26-75%)?
May reflect a slow time in correct responding or impulsive or inattentive responding.
A high number of omissions (percentile rank > 75 and classified as above expected level) on the Auditory Attention and Response Set subtest of the NEPSY-II would reflect:
poor vigilance
poor selective or sustained attention
failure to understand the directions
On the Design Copying test of the NEPSY-II, if the child shows intact capacity to imitate or create general shapes (perceives the general configuration), but confuses or leaves out pertinent details, which subtest score will most likely be lower?
Design Copying Local Score
Which NEPSY-II test would be useful to test for sign of dysarthia?
Oromotor Sequences
On the NEPSY-II’s Memory for Designs subtest, a low score on this measure suggests difficulty learning visual details. What is the score on this subtest?
Memory for Designs Content Score
Which NEPSY-II test would be useful to measure automaticity of naming?
Speeded Naming
On the NEPSY-II Memory for Faces test, what is the neurocognitive explanation for a child achieving a higher Memory for Faces Delayed Score than the initial Memory for Faces Total Score?
Face recognition improves with consolidation time.
The Inhibition subtest on the NEPSY-II measures:
processing speed
verbal retrieval
self monitoring
When a child has a high number of self-corrected errors on a task, this indicates:
good self monitoring
On the NEPSY-II, indirect measures of processing speed can be evaluated by:
Examining the completion time scores relative to the number of errors.
A child with autism would probably perform poorly on which of the following NEPSY-II tests:
Affect Recognition
Theory of Mind
Memory for Faces
Which of the NEPSY-II subtests measures the child’s ability to infer a mental state in someone else?
Theory of Mind
The order of the NEPSY-II subtest administration is most dependent upon:
The time lapse between immediate and delayed memory tasks is accounted for.
If a child had a known or suspected brain damage, which NEPSY-II assessment battery should be chosen?
Full NEPSY-II Administration
Which Design Copy Score is similar to a score obtained by the Beery Visual-Motor Integration test?
General Total Score
What qualitative behavior(s) is/are evaluated for the Imitating Hand Positions test?
Mirroring
Other Hand Helps
Which one of the following is not a qualitative behavior for the Fingertip Tapping test?
Asking for repetitions
What NEPSY-II test is designed to measure selective and sustained auditory attention:
Auditory Attention and Response Set
Which of the conditions below is not a condition for the Inhibition test?
Naming of Colors
