A. MotivationExplanation
Students with intellectual disabilities typically have impaired intellectual functioning that impacts three areas: memory, generalization, and motivation. While memory and generalization are commonly affected due to cognitive limitations, motivation can also be impacted.

Which of the following is the ability to recall information that was been stored for a few seconds to a few hours
-
Short term memory
-
Long term memory
Correct Answer
A. Short term memoryExplanation
Short term memory refers to the ability to recall information that has been stored for a few seconds to a few hours. It is a temporary storage system that allows us to hold and manipulate information in our minds for a short period of time. This type of memory is crucial for tasks such as remembering a phone number, following instructions, or solving problems temporarily. Unlike long term memory, which involves the storage of information for a longer duration, short term memory is more transient and limited in capacity.Rate this question:

Prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal are which of the following for intellectual disabilities?
-
Causes by type
-
Social causes
-
Biomedical causes
-
Causes by timing
Correct Answer
A. Causes by timingExplanation
The terms prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal refer to different time periods during the development of a child. Prenatal refers to the time before birth, perinatal refers to the time during birth, and postnatal refers to the time after birth. In the context of intellectual disabilities, these terms are used to categorize the causes of such disabilities based on when they occur. Therefore, "causes by timing" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the classification of intellectual disabilities based on the time period in which the causes occur.Rate this question:

Which of the following develop within the individual and typically originate early in the child's development?
-
Behavioral causes
-
Social causes
-
Postnatal causes
-
Biomedical causes
Correct Answer
A. Biomedical causesExplanation
Biomedical causes refer to factors that develop within the individual and usually emerge early in a child's development. These causes are related to biological and physiological factors, such as genetic predispositions, neurological abnormalities, or hormonal imbalances. Unlike behavioral causes, which are influenced by external factors and learned behaviors, biomedical causes are inherent and intrinsic to the individual. Similarly, social causes and postnatal causes are influenced by external factors and experiences after birth, whereas biomedical causes are rooted in the individual's biology and development.Rate this question:

Individuals with Down syndrome typically have characteristic physical features, intellectual disabilities, and may also have certain health issues such as heart defects and hearing problems. Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that causes intellectual disabilities, Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism spectrum disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, and autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication. However, none of these disorders are as common as Down syndrome.Rate this question:

Which of the following is an element in social, behavioral, and educational causes of intellectual disorders?
-
Poverty

This is because individuals living in poverty often face limited access to quality education, healthcare, and resources necessary for healthy development. Poverty can also contribute to stress, inadequate nutrition, and exposure to environmental toxins, all of which can negatively impact cognitive development. Therefore, poverty is recognized as a significant factor that can contribute to the occurrence of intellectual disorders.Rate this question:
