Quiz 1 Flashcards
Behavioral observational audiometry using the sucking response can be obtained from______.
Infant who use gastrointestinal feeding tube
Infants who are not visually alert
Infants with variable neurologic conditions
Infants who are hungry
Infants who are hungry
Conditioning procedures must implement training trials first.
true
Of the following sounds, which one is most likely to be produced correctly by a child who has a profound hearing loss
/b/
/t/
/g/
/n/
/b/
VRA follows a stimulus-response-reinforcement paradigm.
true
Distractors are used in conditioned play audiometry to keep the child centered.
true
Which of the following is true about hearing loss in children?
Speech in children with moderate hearing loss can be characterized with excessive nasality
Hearing loss can result in delayed receptive but not expressive speech
Children with hearing loss can understand abstract words more easily than concrete words
Children with minimal hearing loss may have difficulty hearing soft speech or that at a distance greater than 3 feet
Children with minimal hearing loss may have difficulty hearing soft speech or that at a distance greater than 3 feet
Which of the following is false regarding electrophysiological testing
Does not require cooperation
Can be easily obtained in infants younger than 6 months without sedation
Is a direct measure of hearing
Cannot be used to monitor hearing aid or CI
Is a direct measure of hearing
All of the following can result from mild hearing loss in children with the exception for:
Inattention in classroom setting
Language delay
Omission and distortion of speech sounds
Vowels can be heard clearly
Will benefit from FM system
Omission and distortion of speech
When testing very young children, a good protocol is to start at 2,000 Hz in one ear and then move to 2,000 Hz in the other ear. Then repeat at 500 Hz.
true
The use of two reinforcers in VRA improves conditioning success and maintains the child’s attention longer eliciting more responses.
true
Young infants attend closely to infant-directed speech because they:
Are likely to understand the words that are used
Remember hearing their mother’s voice prenatally
Are attracted to the exaggerated intonation pattern
Their hearing is better for lower-pitched sounds than higher-pitched sounds
Are attracted to the exaggerated intonation pattern
A child, as young as 5 or 6 months, may be conditioned to turn their head in response to the presentation of an auditory stimulus.
true
In conditioned audiometry, a response is defined as performance of the desired motor behavior within 3 to 4 s after the onset of the auditory stimulus
true
Control trials are suprathreshold stimuli presented at a level at which the infant previously responded.
false, probe trials
In VRA, it is recommended to start the test at an intensity level of 60 dB.
true
