1
Q
D: Adaptive Functioning
A
how effectively individuals cope with ordinary life demands, and how capable they are of living independently and abiding by community standards
2
Q
D: Angelman syndrome
A
- associated with spontaneous abnormality of chromosome 15
- usually associated with moderate to severe ID
- behaviour characterized by ataxia, jerky movements, hand flapping, seizures, and absence of speech
- facial features- large jaw and open mouth expression
3
Q
D: Cultural-Familial Group
A
- a subgroup of ID where there is no clear organic cause
- often associated with mild to moderate ID
4
Q
D: Developmental Versus Difference Controversy
A
- Asks the question: Do all children, regardless of intellectual impairments, progress through developmental milestones in a similar sequence, but at different rates? Or do they develop in a different, less sequential, less organized fashion?
5
Q
D: Difference Viewpoint
A
- argues that cognitive development of children with ID differed from that of children without ID in more than rate and upper limit
- There is something qualitatively different about processing in ID children
6
Q
D: Down Syndrome
A
Most common disorder resulting from chromosome abnormalities
- caused by have 3 chromosome 21’s instead of 2
7
Q
D: Severe Intellectual Disability
A
- consists of 2% of ID
- generally suffer from one or more organic causes
- markedly delayed and identified early
- may have other health related issues as well
- Require special assistance throughout the life
- Most live well in communities when older, unless they need special health care, but cannot perform vocational skills
8
Q
D: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
A
- caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol
- FASD is an umbrella term that covers the spectrum of possible outcomes
- FAS is the most severe form, and is a leading known cause of ID
- estimated to occur in 6-9 in 1000 school aged children
- Characterized by CNS disfunction, abnormal facial features, and growth retardation
9
Q
D: Fragile X Syndrome
A
- the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability and the most common genetic cause of autism
- affects about 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 8000 females
- physical features-large forehead, prominent jaw, low protruding ears
- ID and behaviour problems occur more frequently in men than women
10
Q
D: Similar Structure Hypothesis
A
argues that
11
Q
D: Genotype
A
- a collection of genes that pertain to certain area
12
Q
D: Heritability
A
- the proportion of the variation of a trait attributable to genetic influence in the population
- can range from 0% to 100%
13
Q
D: Inclusion Movement
A
- in USA
- gives children with ID the option of being educated in regular classroom settings regardless of the severity of the disability
14
Q
D: Nondisjunction
A
-
15
Q
D: Organic Group
A
-
16
Q
D: Nondisjunction
A
- the failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis
- most common cause of down syndrome
17
Q
D: Organic Group
A
- a subgroup of children with ID who have a clear biological cause
- Often associated with severe and profound ID
18
Q
D: Phenotype
A
- the way a genotype is expressed in their environment
19
Q
D: Prader-Willi Syndrome
A
- complex genetic disorder associated with spontaneous abnormality of chromosome 15
- physical traits- short stature, ID or LD, incomplete sexual development, low muscle tone, and urge to eat constantly
- affects 5-10 of 100 000 births
20
Q
D: Self-Instructional Training
A
-
21
Q
D: Residential Care
A
- an out of home placement which may be beneficial for some children with ID
22
Q
D: Self-Injurious Behaviour
A
- causing harm to self
- can be very serious and sometimes life-threatening
- affects 1/5 children with ID
23
Q
D: Self-Instructional Training
A
- teaches children to use verbal cues, initially taught, to process information, keep themselves on task, and remind themselves how to approach a new task
24
