Question 171

Question
A researcher teaches a new book-reading program to caregivers of low-income children and evaluates the language skills of the children before the implementation of the program and one year later. The researcher’s goal is to evaluate whether there is a relationship betweencaregivers’ implementation of the program and children’s growth in language skills. The researcher finds that there is an r = .13 correlational relationship between caregivers’ reported implementation of the program and children’s language skills. What can the researcher safely conclude?
Answer
  • There is a mildly significant cause-and-effect relationship between the caregivers’ implementation of the program and children’s language skills.
  • There is a strong negative correlation between the caregivers’ implementation of the program and children’s language skills.
  • There is a moderately significant cause-and-effect relationship between the caregivers’ implementation of the program and children’s language skills.
  • There is no significant relationship between the caregivers’ implementation of the program and children’s language skills.
  • There is a strong positive correlation between the caregivers’ implementation of the program and children’s language skills.

Question 172

Question
A hospital-based speech–language pathologist is serving increasing numbers of patients with Parkinson’s disease. This clinician, Jason, works to help his patients increase their intelligibility. One way that Jason evaluates the success of the therapy he provides for these patients is to rate their overall intelligibility of speech before and after they participate in 10 weeks of articulation and voice therapy. He finds that the patients appreciate these before-and-after measures of their progress. However, after seeing a number of patients with Parkinson’s disease, Jason realizes that a potential problem with his before-and-after intelligibility ratings is that he has become accustomed to the patients’ speech as he has gotten to know them, and this could be affecting the “after” intelligibility rating. Jason goes to a local university and selects four speech–language pathology graduate students to watch before-and-after videos of his patients and independently rate each patient’s intelligibility. He finds that, happily, the four students’ ratings of the same patients vary little. For example, Student A rates Patient 1 as “90% intelligible after 10 weeks of therapy;” Student B rates Patient 1 as “92% intelligible,” and Students C and D rate this same patient as “88% intelligible.” In this situation, what can one conclude?
Answer
  • There is low interjudge reliability.
  • There is high interjudge reliability.
  • There is moderate interjudge reliability.
  • There is low intrajudge reliability.
  • There is high intrajudge reliability.

Question 176

Question
A clinician in a private practice is approached by the parents of Cole, a 5-year-old boy.
