How is language of confusion often induced?
traumatically-dysarthria often coexists with language of confusion in TBI
Unclear thinking, faulty memory, and irrelevant responses are frequent characteristics of what?
language of confusion

apraxia
True or false: Apraxia of speech involves speech production tasks and automatic/involuntary tasks like chewing and smiling.
FALSE, apraxia of speech does NOT include automatic involuntary tasks like chewing and smiling.
Which of the following disorders involves abnormalities in movement rates, precision, coordination and strength in both speech and nonspeech movements? (Dysarthria, apraxia, aphasia)
Dysarthria
In which disorder are the motor control problems influenced by tasks and context?
apraxia
In which disorder are motor control problems present regardless of tasks or context?
dysarthria
Which of the following are NOT associated with dysphagia? (dysarthria, apraxia of speech, or both)
apraxia of speech
Which of the following is frequently associated with aphasia? (dysarthria, apraxia of speech, or both)
apraxia of speech
Which of the following is characterized by misarticulations that are inconsistent? (dysarthria, apraxia of speech, or both)

dysarthria
Which of the following disorders are characterized by attempts at self-correction? (dysarthria, apraxia or speech, or both)
apraxia of speech
True or False: Co-occurrence of dysarthria and neurologic communication disorders is relatively common.
True, especially post onset of acquired disorders and in developmental disorders
True or false: midl dysarthria may accompany aphasia, especially in the period immediately following a stroke.
True, but the dysarthria may not always be mild-may be more severe.
Do apraxia and dysarthria ever coexist?
Yes.

Which type of dysarthria is characterized by imprecise consonants, excess and equal stress, irregular articulatory breakdowns, distorted vowels, and harsh voice?
ataxic dysarthria
Which type of dysarthria (as in Parkinson's disease) is characterized by monopitch, reduced stress, monoloudness, imprecise consonants, inappropriate silences, short rushes, harsh voice, and breathy voice?

Which type of dysarthria (as in choreoathetosis) is characterized by imprecise consonants, prolonged intervals, variable rates, monopitch, harsh voice, inappropriate silences, distorted vowels, and excess loudness?
hyperkinetic dysarthria
This research by a Mayo study found that each of seven neurologic disorders could be characterized by a unique set of clusters of deviant speech dimensions and that no two disorders had the same set of clusters. Thus, differential diagnosis could be based on clusters of related dimensions rather than on single features.
