ECLG 687 Quiz #3 Flashcards
What are the major lobes of the brain?
- Frontal Lobe
- Parietal Lobe
- Cerebellum
- Occipital Lobe
- Temporal Lobe
How do they relate to areas of processing?
- Frontal Lobe - Executive Functions & Motor
- Parietal Lobe - Sensory
- Cerebellum - Balance Coordination
- Occipital Lobe - Sight (Vision)
- Temporal Lobe - Langauge, Auditory Processing & hearing
Why study the Brain?
To understand brain processing and how physiology (structure) impacts a function. It is also to understand how processing breaks down and what to do about that. How it relates to children behave and learn so we can provide intervention.
Why link brain structure to processes via Miller’s Model?
To conceptualize processing using factor analysis and the CHC model and to have a visual of the different factors that effect the brain, it’s also a form of communication to explain to people what works and how we design test that has good reliability and viability.
Do brains have a radical component?
No, race is socially constructed the mind is constructing those not the physical feature of the brain.
Are there gender differences in the brain?
Yes, women have a bigger left hemisphere and they are able to use both hemispheres more efficiently. (more flexible)
If brains continue to develop links via axons and dendrites, what are the implications for Eysenck’s theory?
Since Eysenck’s believes that 70% is genes and 30% is not fixed, if axons and dendrites continue to fire then the 30% can get to it’s ceiling meaning we can potentially change. The 30% of IQ is environmental and thus the environment can help continue to develop the link between axons and dendrites and affect a higher IQ.
Describe the process of Implicit Memory. How does it relate to disorders such as anxiety and depression?
• PRESENT AT BIRTH
• NO SENSE OF RECOLLECTION PRESENT WHEN MEMORIES RECALLED
• INCLUDES BEHAVIORAL, EMOTIONAL, PERCEPTUAL, AND SOMATIC/BODY MEMORY
• CONSCIOUS ATTENTION NOT REQUIRED FOR ENCODING
• DOES NOT INVOLVE HIPPOCAMPUS; LIKELY EMPLOYS THE AMYGDALA, AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT FOR PROCESSING EMOTION
Implicit is what you experience emotionally.
If you’re a child two years or younger and you are exposed to a traumatic experience, that hard wires you to anxiety and makes you more responsive to anxiety and depression in the future.
Starts around 18months,
Describe the 4 types of attachment.
SECURE:
PARENT: EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE, PERCEPTIVE, RESPONSIVE
AVOIDANT:
PARENT: EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE, IMPERCEPTIVE, RESPONSE, AND
REJECTING
AMBIVALENT:
PARENT: INCONSISTENT COMMUNICATION AND IS INTRUSIVE
DISORGANIZED:
PARENT: FRIGHTENING, DISORIENTING, ALARMING, CHAOTIC (ABUSE, FEAR, DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MENTAL ILLNESS)
Define a learning disability. Be sure to include the various types and cognitive precursors.
Significant variation between your intelligence and some academic skills like reading decoding, reading fluency, reading comprehension, math reasoning, math operations, written expression, oral expression, listening comprehension due to a cognitive disruption in some area of the brain such as sensory processing, attention processioning, working memory, visual spacial processing auditory processing and executive functions and speed.
Describe the steps of consultation.
- Identify the Problem - define it and agree upon it (talk about the who, what, when, where and why)
- Discuss strength and weaknisses
- Set a Goal
- Develop all the possible interventions (seize a few of them)
- Implement interventions
- Evaluate
Draw Cognitive Processing Pyramid AND describe how a child develops.
A child develops from an interaction from the parents genetic code, environment, and any biological disruptions subsequently children develop basic skills such as sensory skills, attention skills, woking memory skills and build on those basic foundations skills with memory, visual spacial processing, auditory processing, executive skills and speed.
Describe Monroe’s model of service delivery.
A model that describes or talks about the tasks school psychologist do it goes from direct (assessment, counseling,consultation, in service & research) ands to indirect but it also goes on a continuum.
Describe Assessment process and Continuum of placement.
Assessment process - Pre- referral, referral for a problem, come up with an assessment plan, conduct an assessment, determine if eligible and if eligible you write goals and objectives. Then you set a placement in the least restrictive environment.
The continuum of placement is least restrictive to most restricitive and (includes Consultation, RSP, special day class (Mild/Mod)/ (Mod/Severe), county programs, non public schools, residential schools & state hospitals. This must be completed within 60 days.
What is ADHD?
o Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• It consists of 3 types- combined, inattentive, and hyperactive-impulsive
o Criteria for ADHD
• Series of symptoms- 6 of 9 for inattention, 6 of 9 for hyperactive-impulsion
• Disorder present since age 12 in multiple settings and impact you negatively
ADHD is a neurological condition that has to be present by age 12 and is either hyperactive impulsive, inattentive or combined and has to effect you in multiple settings (school & communities), and you meet criteria by meeting 6 to 9 symptoms
