Questions<\/h2>\n

Below are several questions to help guide your learning while you watch the video.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does F.A.T stand for in this video?<\/p>\n

Anxiety<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is a typical reaction humans have when experiencing anxiety? What do we insist kids do when they respond in this way?<\/p>\n

Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the teacher asks a question how are mainstream and learning disabled (LD) children different in processing that questions?<\/p>\n

Risk-Taking<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do we unintentionally decrease the likelihood of LD students from taking risks?<\/p>\n

Visual Perception<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can we motivate LD children to \u201ctry harder\u201d when something is too difficult? Why or why not?<\/p>\n

Reading Comprehension<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading comprehension has more to do with ______________________, not vocabulary!<\/p>\n

Effects of Perception on Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why do LD students often say \u201cI didn’t do anything wrong\u201d or \u201cI don’t know what I did\u201d when they get into trouble?<\/p>\n

Visual-Motor Coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n

How does difficulty with visual-motor integration effect some LD students?<\/p>\n

Oral Expression<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is dysnomia? Why are LD students more likely to experience high rates of this?<\/p>\n

Reading & Decoding<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children that are able to decode words to read may not be comprehending what is read. What explanation does the video offer for why this happens?<\/p>\n

Auditory-Visual Capability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why do books on tape benefit some LD students?<\/p>\n

Fairness<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the video, what is fairness?<\/p>\n

Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n

What were some of the effects that the participants reported feeling during this simulation? Is this a fair representation as to what LD students may experience?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":185983,"menu_order":8,"template":"","meta":{"_candela_citation":"[]","CANDELA_OUTCOMES_GUID":"","pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-363","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":83,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/185983"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":370,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/363\/revisions\/370"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/83"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/363\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=363"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=363"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/child\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
