Answer 2

All of the above

Question 3

A)Many forms of praxis
B)Visual form and space perception
C)Types and subtypes of sensory modulation dysfunction
D)Vestibular and proprioceptive processing

Answer 3

Types and subtypes of sensory modulation dysfunction

Question 4

Bilateral integration and sequencing (BIS) deficit is a specific pattern of sensory integration (SI) dysfunction that has consistently been validated using SIPT scores and which types of statistical analyses?

A)Significant t-tests and Z-tests
B)Factor and cluster analyses
C)Rasch analyses with measures of variability
D)Stepwise multiple regression and correlational analyses

Question 5

Which two Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) provide the most information on proprioception and kinesthetic awareness?

A)Kinesthesia and Post-rotary Nystagmus
B)Kinesthesia and Standing and Walking Balance
C)Kinesthesia and Constructional Praxis
D)Graphesthesia and Motor Accuracy

Question 6

Advantages of using the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) include ___________.

A)Inter-rater reliability and construct validity studies support the measure as being psychometrically sound.
B)The normative data are recent and there is a very large normative sample.
C)It is simple and quick to administer as part of an occupational therapy assessment.
D)It measures all aspects of sensory processing and integration objectively.
