2) This pathway extends from the occipital lobe to the temporal-parietal junction and is essential for the phonetic decoding in reading. What is this pathway called? a. dorsal stream b. ventral stream c. arcuate fasciculus d. prefrontal cortex
Dorsal Stream
What part of the brain along with the occipital-temporal pathway has been implicated with automatically recognizing words in print? a. angular gyrus b. supramarginal gyrus c. insular cortex d. arcuate fasciculus
Answer: Insular Cortex
Research has shown that there are three pathways in the brain that relate to reading, the parietal-temporal pathway and the occipito-temporal pathway and a third one. Where is the third pathway located in the brain? a. angular gyrus b. supramarginal gyrus c. arcuate fasciculus d. frontal region associated with Broca’s area
Answer: frontal region associated with Broca’s region
Children with this type of dyslexia over-rely on memorizing whole words as they are visualized because they cannot phonetically sound out the word. What is this subtypes of dyslexia called? a. surface dyslexia b. mixed dyslexia c. phonological dyslexia d. semantic dyslexia
Answer: phonological dslexia
A child how that is forced to break down every word that he/she sees phonetically and the process of reading never becomes automatic, is suffering from what subtype of dyslexia? a. surface dyslexia b. mixed dyslexia c. phonological dyslexia d. semantic dyslexia
Answer: surface dyslexia
Which type of dyslexia has these associated symptoms? Whole word and phonetic reading are damaged. The child must pronounce the letters, recognize the words, and then say them. a. surface dyslexia b. mixed dyslexia c. phonological dyslexia d. semantic dyslexia
Answer: mixed dyslexia
A child with surface dyslexia would probably have the most difficulty on which test? a. WJIII-COG Sound Blending b. NEPSY-II Phonological Processing c. WJIII-COG Visual-Auditory Learning d. NEPSY-II Speeded Naming
Answer: WJ-III Cognitive Visual-Auditory Learning
A child with a reading fluency problem would probably have the most difficulty on which test? a. WJIII-COG Sound Blending b. NEPSY-II Phonological Processing c. WJIII-COG Visual-Auditory Learning d. NEPSY-II Speeded Naming
Answer: NEPSY-II Speeded Naaming
A child with a dysphonetic dyslexia would probably have the most difficulty on which test? a. WJIII-COG Sound Blending b. NEPSY-II Phonological Processing c. WJIII-COG Visual-Auditory Learning d. either or both a and b
Answer: -WJ-III Cognitive Sound Blending and/or NEPSY-II Phonological Processing
This pathway extends from the occipital lobe to the temporal lobe and uses a whole-word approach to reading. What is this pathway called? a. dorsal stream b. ventral stream c. arcuate fasciculus d. prefrontal cortex
Ventral Stream
