Play Assessment & Development
What type of play involves a child using real objects in appropriate ways (e.g., pushing a car, stacking blocks) without pretending?
Functional play (stages I-II)
Define the 3 stages of NICU infant development
turning-in: infant is sick/unstable and cannot engage socially. energy is for maintaining biological stability
coming out: infant becomes more alert & aware of surroundings
reciprocity: infant can respond to their environment (eye contact, respond to parent's voices)
What are some generalization strategies?
narrative skills (e.g., varying story types, context, & settings)
environmental changes (e.g., out of the tx room, playground, hallway)
naturalistic (e.g., child's natural setting)
textbook answer: more training examples, more heterogeneous examples, more variable contexts, and more variable practice and reinforcement schedules.
Assessment type to examine a particular form of communicative behavior, not with reference to other children’s achievement but only to determine whether the child can attain a certain level of performance
Criterion-referenced
"Push car" represents which relation?
action-object
Which stage includes pretend play involving imaginary situations and future possibilities ("what if..." play)
Stage IX- Complex symbolic play.
what is the prelinguistic stage?
where children use gestures and vocalizations but not consistent words (e.g., pointing to a toy and saying 'uh uh')
the area between a child’s current level of independent functioning and potential level of performance. In other words, this shows what children cannot yet do on their own but are ready to learn with some support from a competent adult.
Zone of proximal development
compares the child's performance to the performance of a sample (the norm group)
standardized/norm-referenced
"Cookie table" indicates which relation?
entity-location
A child pretends to cook food, then serve it, then wash dishes in order. What stage does this represent?
Stage VII- Sequential symbolic play.
what is the emerging language stage?
first words and early word combinations (e.g., up, more, mama)
forms and functions children use in 10-50% of required context. (think ZPD)
Highest priority
test-teach-retest
dynamic assessment
Most children start combining words when they have approximately how many words?
50 words
A toddler pretends to drink from an empty cup or pretends to sleep. What stage is this?
Autosymbolic play (pretend play with self)- Stage III
what is the developing language stage?
grammar, narratives, and pragmatic skills expand. (e.g., toddler having 75 words; 'daddy shoe', 'more juice)
forms and functions used in 0-10% of required contexts but understood in receptive tasks. (think ZPD)
high priority
Sounds a baby makes during burping, sneezing, coughing are called?
vegetative sounds
A typical 18-month-old produces approximately how many communicative acts per minute?
1-2 (24 months = 5-7)
A child feeds a doll, brushes its hair, and puts it to bed. Which stage is this?
Stage IV- Symbolic play directed toward others.
During a snack activity, the SLP places favorite foods in clear containers the child can't open. What strategy is this?
communication temptation
Forms and functions used in 50-90% of required contexts. forms the client does not use at all and does not demonstrate understanding of in receptive task formats. (think ZPD)
lower priority
'Little baby' is an example of?
attribute-entity
Treatment intensity combines dose, dose frequency, and?
total duration of treatment
