What is one unit of measurement on the weekly nutrition spreadsheet?
Grams, cals per gram, food or drink item, ounces
100
Score when the entire bite or drink enters the mouth after 5 s of the spoon or cup first coming within child’s reach.
NONactive acceptance
100
The frequency of and degree to which multiple measures of behavior result in different outcomes
Stability
100
What is one type of disordered feeding pattern seen in children with feeding difficulties?
Could be: insensitive to social cues; eating disrupted from a change in environment; will not eat non-preferred food even when hungry; reaction to non-preferred food is excessive; variety does not provide adequate nutrition; drop in weight over time; growth failure
100
Name at least two members of the interdisciplinary team
GI/medical, nutritionist/dietician, SLP/OT, behavior analyst/Psych
200
What are the steps you take to measure food or liquid intake during a feeding session?
Weigh the foods or liquids before the session, weigh the foods or liquids after the session, subtract spill (expel), track emesis
200
Score when food or liquid exits the mouth, not due to swallowing
Expel
200
Overall direction of the datapath. Could be increasing or decreasing.
Trend
200
What does ARFID stand for?
Avoidant restriction food intake disorder
200
What is the role of the swallow expert during the intake evaluation?
Assess oral-motor status, ensure the child is a safe oral feeder, refer for additional testing (swallow study)
300
Who do you send the weekly nutritional spreadsheet to for analysis?
The dietician
300
Is gagging part of the operational definition for inappropriate mealtime behavior?
No
300
How would you describe the datapaths depicted in this picture?
Variable
300
What is a transient feeding difficulty in children?
Errors that resolve with practice, peers influence preference, will eat when hungry, variety will emerge with exposure
300
Name one type of record or piece of information we might request as part of the intake process for admission of a child into a pediatric feeding disorders program
Medical records, growth charts, history of therapeutic services, food log
400
The term “emesis” is another word for:
Vomit
400
Where would you find the dependent variable on a graph?
Y-axis
400
The variable we measure and whose change depends on changes in the independent variable
Dependent Measure
400
Medical complexities, oral-motor skill deficits, environmental events
Things that likely contribute to the development and maintenance of a feeding disorder
400
A high number of children with feeding disorders will also have some type of what, that could also contribute to the feeding disorder?
Medical condition
500
What website could you use to determine an approximation of your daily caloric intake or to determine the estimated energy requirements for a child based on age?
The CDC website
500
Monitor child progress, establish control, make treatment decisions
The main reasons we use graphs
500
The following picture is an example of what type of experimental design?
Multibaseline
500
What are some of the negative consequences associated with pediatric feeding disorders?
- Malnutrition
- Weight loss
- Dehydration
- Children who eat mostly junk foods are at greater risk for acquiring obesity or Type II diabetes
- Failure to advance to age-typical eating
- Unable to participate in social events that revolve around food
500
What is the role of the behavior analyst during the intake evaluation process?
Assess environmental variables that could maintain feeding difficulties (HMBL, SOBL, caregiver interview)
