Question 1

Individuals with intellectual disability are more like their typically developing counterparts than they are different from them.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Individuals with intellectual disability share the same desires, emotions, and experiences as their typically developing peers. The primary difference between the two groups is the level of intellectual functioning, which can impact their ability to learn and perform certain tasks. However, with the proper support and accommodations, individuals with intellectual disability can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Question 2

Students who experience repeated academic failures may develop a style of learning known as ______ in which they do not trust their own abilities and rely on others for help.
A)externalism
B)motivation
C)outer directedness
D)locus of direction

Accepted Answer

Outer directedness refers to a learning style where students rely on external cues and assistance from others due to a lack of confidence in their own abilities, often resulting from repeated academic failures.

Question 3

______ is a strategy for teaching functional skills in the environment in which they would naturally occur rather than in simulated settings.
A)Task analysis
B)Community-based instruction
C)Cooperative learning
D)Scaffolding

Accepted Answer

Community-based instruction involves teaching functional skills in natural settings, such as grocery stores or public transportation, as opposed to simulated or isolated settings. Task analysis is a method of breaking down a complex task into smaller, more manageable steps. Cooperative learning involves group work and collaboration among students. Scaffolding refers to providing temporary support and guidance to help a student learn a new skill. While all of these strategies may be helpful in teaching functional skills, community-based instruction is specifically focused on teaching in natural settings.

Question 11

Parents who have children with the metabolic disorder of ______ can greatly reduce developmental delays if they discover the condition early and place their children on a milk-free diet.
A)PKU
B)galactosemia
C)cytomegalovirus
D)toxoplasmosis

Accepted Answer

Galactosemia is a metabolic disorder where the body is unable to break down galactose (a sugar found in milk). If left untreated, it can lead to liver damage, cognitive disabilities, and developmental delays. However, if discovered early, placing the child on a milk-free diet can greatly reduce developmental delays. PKU (choice A) and Toxoplasmosis (choice D) are also metabolic disorders but do not involve a milk-free diet. Cytomegalovirus (choice C) is a viral infection that can cause birth defects but is not a metabolic disorder.

Question 12

The aim of the levels of support approach is to explain an individual's functional (rather than intellectual)limitations in terms of the amount of support he or she requires to achieve optimal growth and development at home,school,the workplace,and in other community settings.

Accepted Answer

The statement accurately describes the purpose of the levels of support approach.

Question 13

The ability of an individual to meet the standards of personal independence as well as social responsibility appropriate for his or her chronological age and culture group is referred to as
A)task analysis.
B)self-advocacy.
C)adaptive behavior.
D)self-esteem.

Accepted Answer

Adaptive behavior refers to the ability of a person to meet the social and practical demands of daily living, such as personal hygiene, communication, and social interactions. It encompasses skills related to independence, self-direction, responsibility, and coping with everyday challenges. It is often used as a measure of functional abilities in individuals with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or other impairments that affect their ability to adapt to the demands of their environment. Task analysis refers to the process of breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. Self-advocacy refers to the ability of individuals to speak up for themselves and their rights. Self-esteem refers to an individual's subjective evaluation of his or her worth or value as a person. While all of these concepts may be related to adaptive behavior, the best choice is C.

Question 14

Which of the following is not considered a possible postnatal cause of intellectual disability?
A)Encephalitis
B)Head trauma
C)Reye syndrome
D)Hydrocephalus

Accepted Answer

Hydrocephalus is typically a congenital condition, meaning it is present at birth, rather than a postnatal cause of intellectual disability.

Question 15

Persons with disabilities who speak out on issues of importance to them are practicing ______.
A)self-determination
B)self-advocacy
C)self-monitoring
D)self-realization

Accepted Answer

Self-advocacy refers to the ability of individuals with disabilities to speak up for themselves and advocate for their own rights, needs, and interests. By speaking out on issues of importance to them, individuals with disabilities are practicing self-advocacy, asserting control over their lives, and promoting self-determination.

Question 16

Individuals with intellectual disability are usually successful in duplicating skills and strategies across content areas.

Accepted Answer

Individuals with intellectual disability often struggle with generalizing skills and strategies learned in one content area to other areas. They may need additional instruction and support to make connections and apply concepts in different contexts.

Question 17

A ______ event is one etiological factor occurring around the time of birth.
A)perinatal
B)prenatal
C)postnatal
D)birth natal

Accepted Answer

Perinatal refers to the time period immediately before and after birth, so a perinatal event would be an etiological factor occurring at or around the time of birth. Prenatal refers to events prior to birth, while postnatal refers to events occurring after birth. "Birth natal" is not a commonly used term in the field of medicine or psychology.

Question 18

Common behaviors of persons with intellectual disabilities include
A)high functioning in mathematics.
B)attention deficits.
C)memory problems.
D)attention deficits and memory problems.

Accepted Answer

Attention deficits and memory problems are common behaviors for individuals with intellectual disabilities. While individuals with intellectual disabilities may have strengths in certain areas, such as mathematics, the presence of attention deficits and memory problems is more widely observed.

Question 19

All of the following except ______ are part of the process involved in conducting a task analysis.
A)define the target behavior or task
B)identify the prerequisite skills for the learning task
C)identify the needed materials to perform the task
D)provide opportunities for students to complete an itemized list of activities they would like to complete

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

The Renaissance, a period of cultural, artistic, political, and economic "rebirth" following the Middle Ages, indeed saw all these societal changes. Religion continued to be a dominant social force, influencing various aspects of life. There was a shift towards more humane treatment of individuals with disabilities, moving away from viewing them as subjects of fear or superstition. Additionally, the establishment of monasteries and asylums provided sanctuary and care for those with disabilities, reflecting a more compassionate approach towards vulnerable populations.
