Question 1

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) is ____________.&#10;A)A parent report measure&#10;B)A performance-based test of sensory integration (SI)functions&#10;C)A set of structured, formal clinical observations that are scored&#10;D)An objective measure of occupational performance

Accepted Answer

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) is a performance-based test specifically designed to assess sensory integration and praxis (the ability to plan and execute motor actions) in children. It does not rely on parent reports or solely on clinical observations, and while it can inform occupational performance, it is not an objective measure of it.

Question 2

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) ________________.&#10;A)Includes 17 tests&#10;B)Helps to identify patterns of sensory integration (SI)and processing dysfunction&#10;C)Includes many tests of praxis&#10;D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) includes 17 tests, helps to identify patterns of sensory integration and processing dysfunction, and includes many tests of praxis, making all of the provided options correct.

Question 3

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) measures sensory integration (SI) functions in four overlapping areas, which include all of the following EXCEPT __________.&#10;A)Many forms of praxis&#10;B)Visual form and space perception&#10;C)Types and subtypes of sensory modulation dysfunction&#10;D)Vestibular and proprioceptive processing

Accepted Answer

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) is designed to measure sensory integration and praxis, focusing on areas such as forms of praxis, visual form and space perception, and vestibular and proprioceptive processing. It does not directly measure types and subtypes of sensory modulation dysfunction.

Question 4

Bilateral integration and sequencing (BIS) deficit is a specific pattern of sensory integration (SI) dysfunction that has consistently been validated using SIPT scores and which types of statistical analyses?

A)Significant t-tests and Z-tests
B)Factor and cluster analyses
C)Rasch analyses with measures of variability
D)Stepwise multiple regression and correlational analyses

Accepted Answer

Factor and cluster analyses are statistical methods used to validate patterns of sensory integration dysfunction, such as Bilateral Integration and Sequencing (BIS) deficit, by identifying underlying structures (factors) or groups (clusters) in SIPT scores.

Question 5

Which two Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) provide the most information on proprioception and kinesthetic awareness?&#10;A)Kinesthesia and Post-rotary Nystagmus&#10;B)Kinesthesia and Standing and Walking Balance&#10;C)Kinesthesia and Constructional Praxis&#10;D)Graphesthesia and Motor Accuracy

Accepted Answer

The Kinesthesia test assesses the sense of movement and position, while the Standing and Walking Balance test evaluates balance, both of which are crucial for understanding proprioception and kinesthetic awareness.

Question 6

Advantages of using the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) include ___________.&#10;A)Inter-rater reliability and construct validity studies support the measure as being psychometrically sound.&#10;B)The normative data are recent and there is a very large normative sample.&#10;C)It is simple and quick to administer as part of an occupational therapy assessment.&#10;D)It measures all aspects of sensory processing and integration objectively.

Accepted Answer

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) is supported by inter-rater reliability and construct validity studies, making it a psychometrically sound measure. This is a key advantage of using the SIPT in assessing sensory integration and praxis issues.
