1What is SLI?
- ASpecific Language Impairment
- BSpeech Language Interruption
- CSlow Language Involvement
2Specific language impairment is characterized by difficulty with language that is not caused by neurological, sensory, intellectual, or emotional deficit.
- ATrue
- BFalse
3Children with SLI often only show deficits in one domain of language.
- ATrue
- BFalse
4What is true about specific language impairment?
- AApprozimately 7.4% of 5-year-olds are affected.
- BThere is a 25% chance that another family member also has SLI if a child is diagnosed
- CThe majority of children diagnosed will continue with low language performance into adulthood
- DThere may be long-term impact on social, emotional, vocational, and academic outcomes.
5SLI is purely a language disorder.
- ATrue
- BFalse
6SLI is universally recognized as a neurobiologically based disorder.
- ATrue
- BFalse
7Structural findings: One neuropathological study showed [blank_start]atypical symmetry[blank_end] of the planum temporale, and a dysplastic gyrus on the inferior surface of the [blank_start]left frontal cortex[blank_end] along the ingerior surgace of the sylvian fissure.
- Aatypical symmetry
- Batypical asymmetry
- Casymmetry
- Dleft frontal cortex
- Eright frontal cotex
- Fprefrontal cortex
8Structural MRI scan study: Children with SLI showed [blank_start]atypical[blank_end] patterns of [blank_start]asymmetry[blank_end] in the perisylvian area.
- Aatypical
- Bexpected
- Casymmetry
- Dsymmetry
9Study results: children with SLI were more likely to have rightward asymmetry of posterior language structures.
- ATrue
- BFalse
10fMRI results: children with SLI displayed a lack of [blank_start]left[blank_end] lateralization in all core language regions, but not for the rest of the brain
- Aleft
- Bright
11fMRI results: Children with SLI showed [blank_start]hypo[blank_end]activation of [blank_start]Wernicke's[blank_end] area
- Ahypo
- BWernicke's
12fMRI: the SLI group performed [blank_start]more poorly[blank_end] than the normal language group fro both encoding and recognition
- Amore poorly
- Bbetter
13fMRI: subjects with SLI had slower reaction times than the control group.
- ATrue
- BFalse
14fMRI: the SLI group showed [blank_start]reduced[blank_end] activation during word recognition in regions associated with [blank_start]language[blank_end] processing.
- Areduced
- Bincreased
- Clanguage
- Dhigher order
15Adolescents with SLI exhibited [blank_start]atypical[blank_end] coordination among brain regions, suggesting that adolescents with SLI may rely on a less [blank_start]functional[blank_end] network for [blank_start]language[blank_end] processing.
- Aatypical
- Bfunctional
- Clanguage
16When tested after [blank_start]6 months[blank_end] of treatment, children with SLI showed [blank_start]markedly improved[blank_end] speech processing times when compared with pre-treatment processing times.
- A6 months
- B3 months
- C12 months
- D18 months
- Emarkedly improved
- Fmarkedly decreased
- Gunremarkable
17What are functional differences in SLI?
- Areduced activation in Broca's area, auditory areas, and sensory motor areas
- BAtypical/reduced functional connectivity
- CSlower/immature speech processing
18Structural difference in SLI: Consistent see less left hemisphere dominance, specifically in the planum temporale and pars triangularis
- ATrue
- BFalse
