Week 7
What are the three major areas of maintaining factors?
Sensorimotor, psychosocial, cognitive
What are the two salient characteristics of ASD?
1. Challenges with social communication
2. Restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests
Name the three ways in which clauses can be joined.
conjunction, complementation, relativization
What is ellipsis?
Words are left out of a sentence or phrase structure because they are redundant and/or wouldn't be pragmatically correct if left in the phrase/sentence. Can be endophoric or exophoric.
I.e. "Is he going with us? He said so." "This is my car. Where is his?"
Name two factors that would exclude a child from an SLI diagnosis.
- Hearing
- Sensorimotor functioning
- Socio-emotional problems
- congenital malformations of vocal tract
- TBI (traumatic brain injury)
- Cerebral palsy
In operant conditioning, language learning is controlled by the ___________.
environment
What are the three levels of ASD? (Hint: How much support does each level require?)
Level 1: Requires support
Level 2: Requires substantial support
Level 3: Requires very substantial support
What is only content category that can use the connective form known as relativization?
Specification
Early narrative skills predict:
Reading comprehension success!
I don't wanna ask y'all this but...what is Fast ForWord? 🙄
A computerized treatment program using temporarily modified speech signals at different levels of language processing. (that suuuucks)
Vygotsky's "Zone of Proximal Development" is an example of what theory?
social cognitive
Name two tactics that can be used when assessing communicative skills with children with ASD.
1. See how the child responds to written language.
2. Play close attention to pragmatic skills
3. Use a tool such a CCC-2 (Children's Communication Checklist) to capture different aspects of a child's pragmatic dimension
What are the four content categories that emerge in Phase 7?
Specification, Epistemic, Adversative, Notice (our friend SEAN!)
According to Lahey, the four levels of rising complexity for narratives are:
additive, then temporal, then causal, then causal with multiple episodes
What are the two types of bilingualism and what do they indicate?
Simultaneous: Child learns L1 and L2 simultaneously
Sequential: Child learns L1 and learns L2 after the age of 3. (i.e. they learn L2 in preschool or school)
Name two techniques that can be used when planning intervention activities by modifying the acoustic signal.
- Repetition
- Rate of speech
- Prosody (increase stress to weak syllables to direct attention to function words)
- Changing word order to avoid unnatural stress (i.e. "Is he here?" "Here he is")
- Create a situation where child must highlight the copula ("This girl is not crying, but this one..." "is!")
What is DIR?
DIR (Developmental, Individual difference, Relationship). Also known as floor time: It is a developmental, naturalistic approach. Child’s affect and engagement are stressed
Name the 9 categories coded with complex sentences.
State, additive, temporal, notice, causal, epistemic, specification, communication, adversative
What is an embedded causal chain?
The first event/episode brings about the second; they are causally related, not two separate chains (i.e. a character goes on a journey somewhere, and along the way something happens before the character reaches the end)
In order for a child to present as a child with a true language disorder, they must have limited communicative competence in ____ language(s).
both/all
Describe the difference between self-talk and parallel talk (two tactics used in naturalistic intervention).
While self-talk involves the clinician describing their own actions while engaging in parallel play, parallel talk is when the clinician describes the child's actions.

What is the form of connective that is used when one clause serves as the main constituent of another clause?
Complementation
What are the terms exophoric and endophoric with reference to language/narration?
exophoric: Referring to something in the nonlinguistic context (i.e. pointing to a book and saying "here it is"; "it" is the book)
endophoric: Referring to something in the linguistic context (i.e. "We found a lost dog; the leg was broke" - not having to specify whose leg it is)
T/F: Dialects are based on various adaptations to a given language and can be inconsistent.
False! Dialects are rule-based
