What are potential factors that may have influenced Noah’s lexicon (i.e. semantic development)?

Ray reports that his mother says “Oh, Noah is just a boy, he will grow out of it.”  The SLP explains that his job is to determine if Noah’s speech and language characteristics are a difference or a disorder.  The SLP explains a language difference could include all of the following phenomena EXCEPT:

In the following matching question, you will match the utterance meaning to the function of communication it best matches.  Review the utterances within the context of the language sample to help answer questions. Clinician: This looks fun.NOAH:  My like trains.NOAH:  Trains say “choo choo! and go fast.Clinician:  Yes, they do!NOAH:  That train go down.Clinician: Wow, the train is going down the hill.NOAH:  Train goed fast.NOAH: Oh no, mine train broke.Clinician: Oh no, the train broke!NOAH: Me need new train.NOAH:  This one no working.NOAH:  Where more trains?Clinician:  The other trains are in this box.  Let’s get this red one.NOAH:  Put train on tracks.Clinician:  Over here?NOAH:  Yes on bridge.

The SLP is going to take a phonetic inventory on the language sample below. Select manner and position of all phonemes PRODUCED (not attempted) by the child in the sample below. ***Note: The question is worth 5 points; however, there are SEVEN correct answers.Noah: [maɪ si naɪl] Noah: [no…maɪ si naɪl]!Noah: [no naɪl]!Noah: [hɪm əndɚ wɔ]Noah: [him saɪmi]

Before evaluating Noah’s speech sounds, Taylor explains the speech process to Ray. Assuming there are no neurological deficits happening with Noah, under which term would Taylor discuss the process of “articulation?”

I will remember to submit my test and submitt the finish button for the Proctorfree video at the end of my test. 

“Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the following data: Favorite colors chosen by participants in a survey (red, blue, green, etc.).”

Given the following Data set (2,11)(3,19)(4,10)(5,8)(6,2)(7,5)(9,25)(12,56)   Perform a Linear Regression  A. Report the Model Equation (in the form y = mx+b) for the data set. (round to the nearest hundredth) B. Report the r value C. Does the data set appear to follow a linear relation (is a linear regression a good tool to use on the data set), why or why not.

“Describe the following data as Qualitative or Quantitative and explain why: A. The species of trees in an old-growth forest (e.g., oak, maple, pine, etc.)B. The heights (in meters) of the trees in the same forest.”

A sample of reaction times (in seconds) is recorded for a group of five individuals under two different conditions: with caffeine and without caffeine. Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two samples. With Caffeine Without Caffeine 0.42 0.55 0.38 0.62 0.50 0.48 0.46 0.60 0.41 0.58 A. The coefficient of variation for the reaction times with caffeine is? B. The coefficient of variation for the reaction times without caffeine is?
