Question 1

Repeated experiences of failure and frustration can lead to ________________ in a new situation,even when the situation is not a stressful one.

Accepted Answer

Repeated experiences of failure and frustration create a sense of anticipatory anxiety and fear of failure in new situations, even when they are not inherently stressful. This can lead to avoidance behaviors and further reinforcement of the anxiety.

Question 2

James is distractable,cannot sustain attention long enough to learn,and cannot direct himself purposefully.He may have

Accepted Answer

James exhibits symptoms of an attention disorder, such as difficulty sustaining attention and being easily distracted. This suggests that he may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or another attention-related disorder. The other answer choices do not seem to fit his symptoms as well.

Question 3

Sensory integration involves

Accepted Answer

D

Question 4

Which of the following is an academic learning disability?

Accepted Answer

A reading problem is a specific academic learning disability that affects a student's ability to read, comprehend, and use written language. Attention disorders, perceptual-motor disorders, and memory deficits can also impact academic performance, but they are not considered specific learning disabilities in the same way as a reading problem.

Question 5

Sally forgets the directions and steps for solving a math problem as she is working the problem.She has a deficit in

Accepted Answer

The answer of Sally forgets the directions and steps for...

Question 6

IDEA 2004 added an alternative method to evaluate children with a learning disability.The new method examines how the child responds to scientific,research-based intervention.This new method is called the

Accepted Answer

IDEA 2004 added the Response to Intervention (RTI) Approach as an alternative method to evaluate children with a learning disability. This approach examines how the child responds to scientific, research-based intervention to determine if they have a specific learning disability. The Discrepancy Approach (A) compares a student's ability to their actual achievement, while the Neurological Approach (C) focuses on any neurological or brain-based issues that may be affecting a child's learning. The ITPA Approach (D) refers to the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, which is a standardized assessment tool for language and communication disorders. None of these approaches are specifically related to the new method added by IDEA 2004.

Question 7

Which of the following is most frequently postulated as a cause of learning disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Many researchers and experts postulate that learning disabilities result from a problem related to how individuals process information at the neurological level. This can be due to differences in brain structure and function or disruptions in the development of neural pathways involved in learning and processing information.

Question 8

John has a problem with figure-ground,closure,and spatial relationships.He is experiencing a problem in

Accepted Answer

Figure-ground, closure, and spatial relationships are all aspects of visual perception, which is the process of interpreting and making sense of visual information gathered by the eyes. Therefore, the best choice is B) visual perception.

Question 9

Dyslexia is a problem in the area of

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is a problem with language processing, specifically in reading and writing. People with dyslexia may have difficulty decoding written words, spelling, and comprehension. It does not typically affect social skills, math calculations, or spatial relationships.

Question 10

According to the 28th Annual Report to Congress,the prevalence rate for learning disabilities in individuals ages 6-21 was

Accepted Answer

The 28th Annual Report to Congress states that the prevalence rate for learning disabilities in individuals ages 6-21 is 4.2 percent.

Question 11

Delays in information processing might contribute to learning disabilities because

Accepted Answer

If information takes longer to get into short-term memory, it may not get into long-term memory. Therefore delays in information processing might contribute to learning disabilities. The other choices are not directly related to delays in information processing affecting learning disabilities.

Question 12

According to the US.Department of Education,2006,Learning disabilities makes up approximately ________ percent of all students with disabilities.

Accepted Answer

According to the US Department of Education, in 2006, learning disabilities made up approximately 44 percent of all students with disabilities.

Question 13

The key components of a RTI model include

Accepted Answer

The key components of a RTI model include an intervening hierarchy (levels of support for students), standard protocol (a consistent set of procedures for identifying and supporting struggling students), collaborative problem solving (teachers, parents, and other professionals working together), and progress monitoring (regular assessment to see if interventions are effective). Visual perception, auditory perception, tactile perception, and sensory integration are related to sensory processing disorders, not RTI. Assessment, orientation, tutoring, and progress evaluation are all components of RTI, but they do not capture the comprehensive nature of the model. Metacognition, social learning, cognitive restructuring, and social skills training are related to specific interventions or approaches, but they do not capture the key components of the RTI model.

Question 14

Deep processing of information

Accepted Answer

Deep processing of information involves transforming the information into something meaningful for us, which implies a more thorough, thoughtful evaluation of the information. This goes beyond surface-level comprehension and involves connecting new information to prior knowledge and experiences. This process is important for retaining information in the long-term and applying it in various contexts.

Question 15

Six-year-old Jackie has been classified as dyslexic.She is likely to have difficulties

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that primarily affects reading abilities, particularly in the area of decoding letter sounds and recognizing words accurately and quickly. Therefore, the child is likely to have difficulties with single-word decoding.

Question 16

Which of the following is not an example of a language-based disorder?

Accepted Answer

Fine motor skills are not related to language-based disorders. Language-based disorders involve difficulties with oral and/or written communication, such as difficulties with listening, speaking, phonological mastery, word recognition, reading, spelling, and writing. Fine motor skills involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers, and are not directly related to language development.

Question 17

Which of the following researchers coined the term learning disabilities in 1962?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following researchers coined the...

Question 18

The Federal Register's definition of learning disabilities presumes that such a disability is a result of

Accepted Answer

The Federal Register defines learning disabilities as "a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations." This definition presumes that learning disabilities are a result of a problem with a basic psychological process, rather than environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantages, intellectual or developmental delay, or visual handicaps.

Question 19

The four major components of the Information Processing Model are

Accepted Answer

The answer of The four major components of the Information...

Question 20

Learning disabilities may manifest themselves in a child's imperfect ability to do which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Learning disabilities can affect various areas of a child's development, including their ability to listen, think, speak, and perform academic tasks such as reading and writing. Therefore, all of the given options (A, B, and C) are correct.
