Abraham Maslow is known for this humanistic theory of development.
What is the Hierarchy of Needs?
100
Piaget was this type of theorist; one who focuses on the way that people think and how their thinking affects their actions.
What is a cognitive theorist?
100
This career specializes in treating people with communication disorders and/or issues with swallowing.
What is speech language pathology (SLP)?
100
Teaching a child to sign for "milk" or "water" is addressing the basic needs for survival, the first stage in this theory.
What is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
100
Emily chose Speech-Language Pathology as her major because she saw the benefits of SLP due to her brother having this developmental disability.
What is Down's syndrome?
200
This stage identifies the basic needs for survival, such as food, drink, and shelter.
What is the physiological stage?
200
This period, which occurs between birth and two years of age, is characterized by the use of senses and motor abilities.
What is the sensorimotor period?
200
In addition to spoken language, this other form of communication can also be taught.
What is American Sign Language?
200
A Speech Language Pathologist would perform a swallow evaluation to protect patients from injury or death addressing this stage of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
What is stage 2 (safe and secure)?
200
Emily's ultimate career goal is to work in a school setting. Here, she will work primarily with children, focusing on this theorist's work.
Who is Piaget?
300
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs could resemble this structure; where once higher levels are achieved, lower levels could be devalued.
What is a ladder?
300
This term describes how new experiences are reinterpreted to fit in old ideas.
What is assimilation?
300
In a patient with swallowing difficulties, this test is often administered.
What is a swallow evaluation?
300
A Speech-Language Pathologist is working with a patient that has suffered a stroke and has difficulties speaking. He is frustrated that his lack of communication makes him disrespected and misunderstood. The SLP is working with this stage of the hierarchy.
What is stage 4 (esteem)?
300
Emily's brother has received speech therapy since birth. As in Piaget's preoperational period, Emily noticed improvement in this form of Cole's ability to communicate.
What is self-expression?
400
When a person reaches the self-actualization level of the hierarchy, they become this, and are able to appreciate all of humanity instead of just themselves.
What is selfless?
400
Abstract, theoretical reasoning is a major gain seen in this period of cognitive development.
What is the formal operational period?
400
In patients who experience stuttering, the Speech-Language Pathologist would work on this aspect of their speech.
What is fluency?
400
An Speech-Language Pathologist could use a variety of symbols for a child to improve self-expression, which is achieved in this period of cognitive development.
What is the preoperational period?
400
Emily plans to complete her Speech-Language Pathology internship in a hospital. Adults with speech and language impairments may need assistance in these later stages of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
What are esteem and self-actualization (or stages 4 and 5)?
500
The potential for violence in adulthood is higher when children are neglected in these two earlier stages of Maslow's hierarchy.
What is safe and secure and love and belonging? (Or stages two and three).
500
This state of balance is achieved when an individual interprets new information reflecting on old experiences.
What is cognitive equilibrium?
500
This condition describes a loss of the ability to speak due to muscle impairment.
What is dysarthria?
500
If a Speech-Language Pathologist is focusing on Piaget's concrete operational period of cognitive development, they would teach these types of skills.
What is conservation, numbers, and classification?
500
When Emily graduates with a Speech-Language Pathology degree and is gainfully employed, she will reach this level of development.
