Question
Anna Stubblefield was convicted of sexually assaulting D.J., a man with severe cerebral palsy, after she helped him supposedly speak with this now scientifically discredited technique. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this technique, in which somebody helps nonverbal people point at letters of the alphabet on a keyboard or similar device.
ANSWER: facilitated communication [or supported typing; or assisted typing; or progressive kinesthetic feedback; or written output communication enhancement; do not accept “Rapid Prompting Method”]
[10e] The facilitator, rather than the facilitated, is thought to inadvertently author messages due to the ideomotor effect, which also guides people using these grids of letters to communicate with supernatural beings.
ANSWER: Ouija boards
[10m] Promoters of facilitated communication claim that some people fail to communicate solely due to this loss of ability to plan and execute movements, which is distinct from a lack of coördination, or [read carefully] ataxia.
ANSWER: apraxia [do not accept “aphasia” or “ataxia” or “agnosia”]
