Question 1

Children who have a disability related to difficulty in phonological processing have:

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is a learning disability that involves difficulty with phonological processing, which affects reading and related language-based processing skills.

Question 2

_____ are(is) the academic difficulties of children who fare poorly in school despite normal IQ test performance.

Accepted Answer

Specific learning disabilities refer to difficulties in acquiring academic skills despite having normal intelligence, affecting areas such as reading, writing, or math.

Question 3

One of the most widely used methods to distinguish children with a specific learning disability is to analyze their performance on an IQ test and on an academic achievement test. Children with specific learning disabilities have:

Accepted Answer

Children with specific learning disabilities typically have an overall IQ score in the normal range but show a significant discrepancy between their IQ scores and their academic achievement test scores, indicating that their academic performance is lower than would be expected based on their cognitive abilities.

Question 4

Playworld practice:

Accepted Answer

Playworld practice involves enacting, discussing, making art, and playing with themes based on works of children's literature, which helps in enhancing children's language skills and storytelling abilities.

Question 5

How are children with learning disabilities distinguished from their classmates?

Accepted Answer

Children with learning disabilities often show a significant discrepancy between their intellectual ability and their academic performance, particularly in specific areas, which is not necessarily linked to overall low intelligence.

Question 6

Children who held a belief that intelligence was ____________ avoided challenging tasks while children who believed that intelligence was ____________ applied themselves and tried harder when faced with challenging tasks.

Accepted Answer

Children who believe intelligence is an entity (fixed) tend to avoid challenges to protect their self-image, while those who see it as incremental (malleable) are more likely to embrace challenges and persist.

Question 7

Children with a disability who display a pattern of performance in which their verbal IQ is high and their quantitative IQ is low have:

Accepted Answer

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects a person's ability to understand numbers and learn math facts, which would result in a lower quantitative IQ compared to verbal IQ.

Question 8

Children with dyslexia show all of the following EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Children with dyslexia typically do not have visual and hearing problems; their difficulties are related to language processing, particularly phonological processing.

Question 9

Children who display a mastery-oriented motivational pattern are:

Accepted Answer

Children with a mastery-oriented motivational pattern are optimistic and believe that effort and persistence can lead to improvement and success, even when faced with challenges.

Question 10

In a study examining the link between phonological processing and dyslexia, Siegel and her colleagues compared normal and dyslexic readers in their ability to read pseudowords and found that by:

Accepted Answer

By 14 years of age, dyslexic readers were no better at reading pseudowords than normal 7-year-olds, indicating a persistent difficulty with phonological processing in dyslexia.

Question 11

Identifying children with learning disabilities:

Accepted Answer

Learning disabilities are often identified when children enter school because this is when academic challenges become apparent.

Question 12

Children who held a belief that intelligence was ____________ avoided challenging tasks, while children who believed that intelligence was ____________ applied themselves and tried harder when faced with challenging tasks.

Accepted Answer

Children who believed intelligence was a fixed quality avoided challenges due to fear of failure, while those who saw it as something that can grow embraced challenges to improve.

Question 13

Swedish and Finnish classrooms are:

Accepted Answer

Swedish and Finnish classrooms are known for integrating play and art into their educational approaches, focusing on holistic development rather than just standardized testing.

Question 14

A specific learning disability may include learning problems associated with:

Accepted Answer

Specific learning disabilities can include conditions like developmental aphasia, which affects language skills, but do not include issues primarily due to visual handicaps, intellectual disabilities, or emotional disturbances.

Question 15

According to Dweck (1999), 12-year-old children begin to articulate theories about intelligence that can be categorized as ____________ or ____________.

Accepted Answer

Dweck's theory posits that children develop either an incremental theory (believing intelligence can grow with effort) or an entity theory (believing intelligence is fixed).

Question 16

Current theories about the causes of dyslexia assume that the difficulties arise because of anomalies in brain development. Support for these theories include:

Accepted Answer

Intense language training can help children with dyslexia develop brain activation patterns similar to those of typical readers, supporting the idea that dyslexia is linked to brain development anomalies.

Question 17

_____ is the MOST common type of specific learning disability.

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is the most common type of specific learning disability, affecting reading and related language-based processing skills.

Question 18

Julia's teacher expects her to pay attention and try hard even if the material she is learning is hard and not interesting to her. Julia's teacher's expectations are:

Accepted Answer

Julia's teacher's expectations are related to motivation, as they emphasize the importance of effort and attention regardless of the difficulty or interest level of the material.

Question 19

Children with a disability that involves special difficulties in learning to write, including poor handwriting, problems with spelling, as well as problems in putting thoughts on paper, have:

Accepted Answer

Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing. It can cause problems with handwriting, spelling, and putting thoughts on paper.

Question 20

Motivation is defined as:

Accepted Answer

The answer of Motivation is defined as:
...
