Question 1

Cognitive development of children with visual impairments
A) is no different than the normal development.
B) because they can only rely on their hearing.
C) is affected by their lack of integrating experience.
D) is higher than children with hearing impairment

Accepted Answer

Children with visual impairments may have difficulty integrating experiences and gaining a full understanding of their environment, leading to some delays or differences in cognitive development. However, this does not necessarily mean that their development is lower or worse than that of children without visual impairments. In fact, they may develop certain skills, such as auditory processing and spatial cognition, to a higher degree than typically developing children. Option A is incorrect because there can be some differences in development for children with visual impairments. Option B is incorrect because while their hearing may be relied upon more heavily than their vision, this is not the sole reason for differences in cognitive development. Option D is incorrect because cognitive development is not solely based on the presence or absence of an impairment.

Question 2

The transparent front portion of the tough outer coat of the eyeball is called the
A) lens.
B) retina.
C) cornea.
D) ciliary.

Accepted Answer

The transparent front portion of the tough outer coat of the eyeball is called the cornea. The lens is located behind the iris and focuses light onto the retina. The retina is the innermost layer of the eye where the photoreceptor cells are located. The ciliary body is responsible for changing the shape of the lens to adjust the focus of the eye.

Question 3

Two people with well-functioning sense organs can interpret the same visual experience differently,depending on their
A) brain and eye.
B) brain and training.
C) experience and training.
D) eyes and optic nerve.

Accepted Answer

Two people may have different interpretations of a visual experience based on their past experience and training. For example, one person who has studied art may notice specific details in a painting that another person without that training may overlook. This shows how experience and training can affect perception. While the brain and eyes are important in perception, they do not fully explain why two people may interpret the same visual experience differently. The optic nerve is a pathway for transmitting visual information from the eyes to the brain.

Question 4

Question 6

The muscular partition in the eye that expands and contracts to regulate the amount of light admitted is called the
A) iris.
B) lens.
C) pupil.
D) retina.

Accepted Answer

The iris is the muscle in the eye that expands and contracts to adjust the size of the pupil, regulating the amount of light that enters the eye. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye that focuses light onto the retina. The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris through which light enters the eye. The retina is the part of the eye that contains light-sensitive cells that convert light into neural signals sent to the brain.

Question 7

Stacy has a profound visual disability.Which of these statements concerning Stacy is true?
A) Her vision can be almost entirely corrected with visual aids.
B) Her vision can be helped somewhat with visual aids.
C) She cannot use vision as an educational tool.
D) Her vision could also be classified as low vision.

Accepted Answer

A profound visual disability means that vision cannot be used as an educational tool, indicating that visual aids are not sufficient for educational purposes.

Question 8

The number of children who are visually impaired is ______________ than the number of children who are intellectually or developmentally delayed or learning disabled.
A) slightly less
B) slightly more
C) significantly less
D) significantly more

Accepted Answer

According to statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics, the prevalence of visual impairments in children aged 3-17 is 0.13%, while the prevalence of intellectual or developmental delay is 3.36%, and the prevalence of learning disabilities is 9.98%. Therefore, the number of children who are visually impaired is significantly less than the number of children who are intellectually or developmentally delayed or learning disabled.

Question 9

Which of the following is an environmental condition leading to a visual impairment?
A) Retinopathy of prematurity
B) Hyperopia
C) Nystagmus
D) Albinism

Accepted Answer

Retinopathy of prematurity is an environmental condition that can lead to visual impairment. It is caused by abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina of premature babies and can cause scarring or detachment of the retina, leading to vision loss. Hyperopia, nystagmus, and albinism are all conditions that can affect vision, but they are not caused by an environmental condition.

Question 10

The restricted mobility and consequent limited experiences of individuals with visual impairments appear to cause
A) hostility and depression.
B) fear and stress.
C) depression and anxiety.
D) passivity and dependency.

Accepted Answer

Restricted mobility and limited experiences can lead to passivity and dependency as individuals with visual impairments may rely more on others for assistance and may have fewer opportunities to engage in independent activities.

Question 11

The largest causal factor in visual impairments is
A) heredity.
B) injury.
C) infection.
D) abnormal tissue growth.

Accepted Answer

According to the World Health Organization, hereditary factors are the largest causal factor in visual impairments, accounting for about 80% of all cases.

Question 12

About four children in ______________ qualify by school standards for having a visual impairment.
A) one hundred
B) one thousand
C) five thousand
D) ten thousand

Accepted Answer

The answer of About four children in ______________ qualify by...

Question 13

Social skills training for children with visual impairments is very important to the child's overall classroom success.Peer-mediated training in social skills was found to
A) produce similar improvement to the teacher instruction.
B) produce more improvements than the teacher instruction.
C) produce less improvements than the teacher instruction.
D) produce more improvements than the teacher instruction initially, but the improvements were quickly lost.

Accepted Answer

Peer-mediated training in social skills was found to produce more improvements than the teacher instruction.

Question 14

The light-sensitive innermost layer of tissue at the back of the eyeball is the
A) iris.
B) retina.
C) cornea.
D) ciliary.

Accepted Answer

The retina is the light-sensitive innermost layer of tissue at the back of the eyeball. It contains photoreceptor cells that convert light into neural signals that are transmitted to the brain for visual processing. The iris is a ring of muscle tissue that controls the size of the pupil and regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. The cornea is a clear, dome-shaped structure that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus light. The ciliary body is a ring of muscle that adjusts the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances.

Question 15

Donna has faulty visual interpretation.Her condition could be the result of
A) defective eyes.
B) brain injury.
C) inadequate experience.
D) any of these.

Question 16

Which of these statements is true of children who are legally blind?
A) They may be able to sense light and darkness.
B) They are always able to see colors.
C) They depend on their sight as a primary means of getting information about the world.
D) They are the largest group of people with visual impairments.

Accepted Answer

Children who are legally blind may still have some residual vision, including the ability to sense light and darkness. It is not always the case that they can see colors or rely on their sight as a primary means of getting information about the world. Additionally, legally blind individuals are not necessarily the largest group of people with visual impairments, as there are many other categories of visual impairments (such as low vision and partially sighted).

Question 17

The changing in the shape of the lens to focus on an object is called
A) accommodation.
B) convergence.
C) retinopathy.
D) sensory compensation.

Accepted Answer

Accommodation refers to the ability of the lens in the eye to change its shape in order to focus on objects at different distances. This is a common process in normal vision. Convergence, on the other hand, refers to the ability of the eyes to turn towards each other in order to maintain single binocular vision. Retinopathy is a disease of the retina, and sensory compensation refers to the ability of the brain to adjust to changes in sensory input, such as when one sense is lost or impaired.

Question 18

Children with low vision can learn through
A) Braille.
B) the same methods that children without visual impairments use.
C) the tactile sense.
D) the visual sense by using special technology and training.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Children with low vision can learn through
A)...

Question 19

Which of the following terms is closest in meaning to the term low vision?
A) Legally blind
B) Partially sighted
C) Severe visual impairment
D) Totally blind

Accepted Answer

Low vision refers to having significant vision loss that cannot be corrected with glasses, contacts, medication, or surgery. Partially sighted is the closest term in meaning because it also refers to having some degree of vision loss, but not complete blindness. Legally blind and severe visual impairment refer to more severe levels of vision loss, while totally blind means no vision at all.

Question 20

Research has demonstrated that children with visual impairments were ______________ in their play skills,especially in the area of symbolic play.
A) advanced
B) significantly delayed
C) slightly delayed
D) on age level

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that children with visual impairments tend to be significantly delayed in their play skills, particularly in the area of symbolic play. This delay can be due to a lack of visual cues that typically help children understand and engage in symbolic play.
