1.  Memory disorders in traumatic brain injury are primarily a result of:
  1. Disruption of bilateral memory systems and executive mechanisms
  2. Disruption of the verbal-lexical access and executive mechanisms
  3. A reduction in speed of processing and damage to the visual-spatial sketchpad
  4. Well circumscribed lesions that can affect the visual spatial sketchpad or the phonological loop of working memory
2.  TBI affects the nervous system by:
  1. Displacing brain tissue within the skull
  2. Causing focal neuropathologies such as contusions
  3. Disrupting the metabolic equilibrium of the central nervous system
  4. Causing collateral neuronal sprouting
  5. All of the above
3.  A 68 year old retired SLP sustained a moderate TBI 6 months ago. She experiences memory difficulties, but she is able to recall the characteristics of Broca's aphasia. This type of recall incorporates:
  1. Declarative Memory
  2. Short term memory
  3. Implicit learning
  4. Semantic Long Term memory
4.  Which of the following is not a skill of executive functioning?
  1. Episodic Memory
  2. Higher Reasoning
  3. Decision Making
  4. Problem Solving
5.  Which of the following neurotransmitters is released in a massive flow following a head injury?
  1. Glycine
  2. Dopamine
  3. Glutamate
  4. Melatonin
6.  The two primary approaches to cognitive retraining are:

  2. Damaged axons cannot regenerate and form new terminals on the cells they previously innervated.
  3. Axons from other neurons cannot sprout new terminals that form synapses.
  4. All of the above
8.  Which of the following were reported as long lasting neuropsychological effects following a TBI:
  1. Categorization difficulties
  2. Problem Solving difficulties
  3. Difficulty managing stress
  4. Emotional upsets
  5. All of the above
9.  Which of the following is/are components of the Categorization Program?
  1. Object Categorization Tasks
  2. Distractibility
  3. New Category Learning Tasks
  4. Both A and C
10.  The ability to perform daily activities such as showering activates:
  1. Episodic memory
  2. Procedural and semantic long term memory
  3. Procedural long term memory and the executive system
  4. Working memory and semantic knowledge
