Q

Areas to assess in Verbal Functions and Language are ___________

A

expressive,perceptive,repetition, and naming

24
Q

This type of verbal functions and language test consists of 60 line drawings of various objects. The task is to name the objects and it is not a timed test.

A

Boston Namin Test

25
Q

This verbal function and language test is also known as the FAS. The goal is to name as many words as possible in 60 seconds. There are three letters, usually F, A, and S. You can’t use proper nouns, numbers, or the same root word with different endings.

A

Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT)

26
Q

This verbal function and language test is a variant of the FAS and the task is to name as many animals as possible in 60 seconds.

A

Animal Naming

27
Q

Spatial orientation, constructional abilities, integration and awareness, and facial recognition are all ranges of functions to be assessed for

A

Visuospatial Organization and Naming

28
Q

Orientation of stimuli, cardinal directions, and geographical awareness are examples of

A

spatial orientation

29
Q

A visuospatial organization and functioning test where patients are shown a response card that has 11 lines presented on it. Then they are shown a stimulus card that has 2 lines of different orientation and direction. The subject must indicate which of the 11 lines matches the two in orientation and direction.

A

Judgement of Line Orientation

30
Q

A big letter made up of smaller letters and the patient is supposed to tell what letter they see.

A

Navon Figure

31
Q

A test where you ask a patient to identify various states and landmarks. They are also supposed to verify cardinal directions, “point to the north”.

A

Geographical awareness and cardinal directions

32
Q

In this test for visuospatial organization and functioning, the patient is shown a picture and then made to draw a copy of it, memory to come later.

A

Rey Osterreith Complex Figure

33
Q

In this test, a patient is shown aline drawing and the line drawings have several other objects presented. The objects are superimposed onto one another and they have to point to specified object.

A

Poppelreuter-Ghent’s Overlapping Figures

34
Q

This test is from the WAIS-IV and red and white blocks are used. You show a stimulus picture and then ask patient to copy, it is a timed test.

A

Block Design

35
Q

This test has two parts. one part involves connecting circled numbers in order. The second part involves connection circled numbers and letters in order, alternating between them. Patient connects dots as fast as possible and do not pick up the pencil.

A

Trail Making Test

36
Q

This test is where you produce as many designs as possible, it is a nonverbal analogue of COWAT

A

Ruff Figural Test (RFFT)

37
Q

This test involves word reading, color naming, color-word reading, and measures the response inhibition.

A

Stroop-Color Word Test

38
Q

In this test, four key cards are shown and they vary in form, color, and number. Patient is given a stack of stimulus cards and must match them. You only say “right” or “wrong”.

A

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test

39
Q

This test involves a target figure that must be replicated. Patient cannot have larger stimulus on top of the other. It can be timed and how many moves they require is observed.

A

Tower of London/Hanoi

40
Q

Ruff Figural Fluency tests

A

right frontal lobe fluency

41
Q

This test for memory consists of 15 unrelated items which are read to a patient and the patient has to recall them. There are five learning trials and also delayed free recall and recognition trials.

A

Rey Auditory Verbal Lerning Test

42
Q

This type of memory test consists of a list of twelve items from three different semantic categories. There are three learning trials and is the dame format as RAVLT.

A

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test

43
Q

This type of memory test has a picture of six line drawings that is shown for tens seconds. The patient must then draw it from memory. There are three learning trials and is the same format as the RAVLT.

A

Brief Visuospatial Memory Test

44
Q

This type of memory test measures working memory and involves reciting digits in reverse order

A

Digit Span Backwards

45
Q

This type of memory test is the same as digital span but uses a nonverbal format, both forward and backward spans are assessed.

A

Spatial Span

46
Q

abstract thinking skills, judgement and problem solving involves the ________ lobe.

A

frontal lobe

47
Q

Psychometrics involves _____ and _____.

A

standardization and development

48
Q

This refers more to knowing the stimulus, interpretation. First there is increased arousal and attention, orientation, then sensation, and then ______

A

perception

49
Q

Assessing whether senses are intact and assessing identification of stimuli is involved in

A

Perception

50
Q

This test is a standard procedure that involves 5 10 second trials, there should be a 10% difference between dominant hand.

A

Finger tapping

51
Q

This test measures _________ by asking the patient to show how to use scissors or show how to use a hammer to pound a nail.

A

Praxis

52
Q

This test asks patient to identify left and right body parts from their body and yours.

A

Left/Right orientation

53
Q

This test is done in many different forms. Patients are asked to cancel out target stimuli. It assesses attentional bias.

A

Visual Cancellation Tasks

54
Q

This test assesses comprehension of verbal commands of increasing complexity. It consists of 20 tokens of five colors: red,white, yellow, blue, an green. There are two sizes and two shapes (circles and squares). Patient is asked to manipulate the tokens.

A

Token Test

55
Q

This tests assesses non-propositional language. You will ask the patient how you sound, “all the puppies are dead (in a happy voice)”.

A

Incongruent affective sentences
