Quiz 2

Question 1

Function of L hemisphere neural network

Answer 1

Mediates naming system

Question 1

Function of L temporal, inferior parietal, and posterior frontal lobes

Answer 1

Lexical processing

Question 2

Function of L anterior temporal cortex

Answer 2

Semantic aspects, lexical retrieval

Question 3

Function of L inferior temporal

Answer 3

Lemma, lexical retrieval

Question 4

Function of L premotor, parietal, ?middle/superior temporal regions

Answer 4

dorsal network (representation of lexical phonological forms)

Question 5

Function of L thalamus

Answer 5

activates/integrates complex lexical semantics

Question 6

Provide an example of a cueing hierarchy.

Answer 6

Word is pen:

-what is it called
-something you write with
-starts with a p
-you write with a “—” (phrase)
-write out the word for them
-this is a pen
Have them repeat, restart the cueing hierarchy in reverse
3-4 steps for the quiz***

Question 7

Restorative word retrieval treatment

Answer 7

Cueing hierarchy – construct after probing, helps with appropriate cue utilization, can improve retrieval – utilizes intact skills, helps with compensatory strategies

Semantic treatments – comp and retrieval combo, can incorporate phonologic – multimodality approach, can command intact areas to assist

Question 8

Reorganization word retrieval treatment

Answer 8

Pantomime/gestural training – demonstrate function, ? limb apraxia limits

Intention training – L Upper Extremity activities stimulate R prefrontal systems to increase intent/initiation of spoken words

Question 9

Why is having multi-modalities important for naming/comprehension assessment?

Answer 9

-helps find out what they can do
-helps find out what level of support they need
-they may understand but need different modality to communicate their knowledge
-uses intact skills to support areas that may have been compromised
-improved comprehension and retrieval with cueing

Question 10

Lexicality effect

Answer 10

hallmark feature of Phonological alexia/Agraphia

Real words significantly better than reading comprehension of non-words
Spelling is much better of real words than non words
Detectable in single item reading and spelling tests

Question 11

Regularity effect

Answer 11

regularly spelled words and nonwords are processed more accurately than irregularly spelled words (regular: state, hand, abdomen; irregular: knife, yacht, borough, choir)

Phonetic accuracy***

Question 12

what is a hallmark feature of phonological alexia/agraphia?

Answer 12

lexicality effect

Answer 13

L temporal,
L inferior temporal
L anterior temporal cortex
inferior parietal,
posterior frontal lobes
L premotor, parietal, ?
middle/superior temporal regions – dorsal network
L thalamus
