Question 1

This intervention technique utuilizes a stimulus-response format in a highly controlled environment in which the teacher provides the stimulus:

Accepted Answer

Discrete trial training (DTT) is a structured teaching method that involves a clear stimulus-response format where the teacher provides a stimulus and the student responds. This method is highly controlled and often used in interventions for individuals with autism to teach new skills.

Question 2

All of the following are characteristic of Autistic children except:

Accepted Answer

Hallucinations are not characteristic of autism. Autism is primarily associated with challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors, not with experiencing hallucinations.

Question 3

Several specific cognitive differences have been identified in the autistic population, including ________ and ____________.

Accepted Answer

(gestalt processing style/ asynchronous development/ lack of a theory of mind)

Question 4

The discrete trial approach to language intervention has been found to be most useful for the training of __________________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The discrete trial approach to language intervention...

Question 5

Jose often repeats back exactly what was previously spoken to him. Jose is:

Accepted Answer

Echolalia is the term used to describe when an individual repeats or imitates what has been spoken to them, often a characteristic observed in autism spectrum disorders and certain other conditions.

Question 6

Which of the following is not a disorder on the autism spectrum:

Accepted Answer

Williams syndrome is not considered a disorder on the autism spectrum. It is a developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body and is characterized by mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems, unique personality characteristics, distinctive facial features, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) problems. Autism spectrum disorders, on the other hand, are characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication.

Question 7

Identify the three categories of symptoms used in DSM-IV to define autistic disorder:
_______________________ ______________________ ____________________

Accepted Answer

The answer of Identify the three categories of symptoms used...

Question 8

Studies that have compared the syntactic development of individuals with autism to that of other individuals with disabilities have found that the individuals with autism:

Accepted Answer

The answer of Studies that have compared the syntactic development...

Question 9

Current thinking regarding the use of echolalia by autistic children holds that:

Accepted Answer

Echolalia in autistic children is now understood as potentially meaningful and may represent an attempt to communicate or interact. It can be used as a foundation for developing further communication skills, thus both A and C are correct.

Question 10

Research on the phonological development of children with autism has found it to be delayed but following a normal course of development.

Accepted Answer

Studies on phonological development in children with autism have shown that while there may be delays in the acquisition of phonological skills, the sequence in which these skills are acquired generally follows the typical developmental trajectory observed in neurotypical children.

Question 11

A number of explanations have been suggested to explain the phenomenon of pronoun reversal in individuals with autism. List and briefly explain three of these hypotheses.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A number of explanations have been suggested...

Question 12

Most children with autism spectrum disorders begin to speak at the same age as typically developing children.

Accepted Answer

Children with autism spectrum disorders often experience delays in language development and may begin to speak later than typically developing children.

Question 13

Children with Asperger's Syndrome typically can read words at high levels but have difficulty understanding what they have read.

Accepted Answer

Children with Asperger's Syndrome often have good phonetic reading skills, allowing them to decode words efficiently, but they may struggle with comprehension due to difficulties in understanding context, figurative language, and social cues within the text.

Question 14

Echolalia is a type of language behavior found only in children with autism spectrum disorders.

Accepted Answer

Echolalia is a type of language behavior where individuals repeat noises and phrases that they hear; it can be found in various conditions, not just autism spectrum disorders, including other developmental disorders, brain injuries, and even in typical language development.

Question 15

The pivotal-response model of intervention claims that instruction should focus on "pivotal" areas such as
_____________________, ____________________, and ____________________

Accepted Answer

The answer of The pivotal-response model of intervention claims that...

Question 16

Although some studies have found the semantic skills of individuals with autism to be relatively intact, other studies have found they use more _____________ and ______________ language in their speech.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Although some studies have found the semantic...

Question 17

Children with Asperger Syndrome have been found to be relatively intact in language development except in the domain of:

Accepted Answer

Children with Asperger Syndrome typically have relatively intact language development in terms of syntax, phonology, and morphology, but often struggle with pragmatics, which involves the social aspects of language use, such as understanding idioms, jokes, and the subtleties of conversation.

Question 18

Most researchers today agree that autism is caused by parents who interact with their children in a cold, aloof manner.

Accepted Answer

The consensus among researchers is that autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with genetic and environmental factors playing a role, not caused by parenting styles.

Question 19

Research has failed to confirm the effectiveness of the use of auditory training with individuals with autism.

Accepted Answer

Research on auditory training for individuals with autism has shown mixed results, and there is no conclusive evidence to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment.

Question 20

_______________ echolalia occurs within a brief time after the speaker talks. _______________ echolalia occurs when the speaker modifies the original utterance.

Accepted Answer

The answer of _______________ echolalia occurs within a brief time...
