Auditory training Flashcards
What are the communication factors?
source/speaker, message, feedback, environment, receiver/listener
What is the human ear frequency range?
20 to 20,000 Hz
What is the human ear intensity range?
0 to 130 dB SPL or 140 dB SPL
The difference between the weakest and most powerful speech sound is
680 times more energy
What are examples of suprasegmentals?
intonation, stress, tempo, rhythm, pause, and emotional tone
What is the easiest step in the listening continuum?
detection
What are the four steps in the listening continuum?
detection, identification, discrimination, and comprehension
_______ are generally listed in the low-frequency end of the audiogram.
Vowels
______ are generally listed in the high-frequency end of the audiogram.
Consonants
What are minimal pairs?
Two sounds that share the same manner and plac but differ in voicing.
T or F: the presence of noise can interfere wtih the perception of sound. Noise can be present in the message and in the environment.
True
What does a 3 dB signal to noise ratio mean?
the noise is 3 dB higher than the signal
______ are generally longer than _________ in duration.
vowels; consonants
What are the four categories of auditory training?
pragmatic, syntactic, analytic, and ecletic
What is the analytical approach to auditory training?
breaking speech into smaller segments and including those parts into auditory training exercises
What is the syntactic approach to auditory training?
Use clues taken from syntax and context to get understanding, e.g., discussion within a topic such as the clinician names the topic and presents words or phrases that the patient must report back
What is the pragmatic approach to auditory training?
training the listener to control communication variables (signal to noise, level of speech, and context or complexity of the meesage) in order to obtain necessary information; e.g. repair strategies
What is Erber’s approach?
An approach used in auditory training
