Chapter 1 Flashcards
Communication problem of slp
Deficits in language
Deficits in speech
Speech production definition
Generation of airflow and air pressures
by the displacement (movement) of bodily structures
which causes disturbances of air that
constitute phonemes, the smallest meaningful unit of sound
Speech science includes…
A and p
Phonetics
Audiology
Neuroanatomy
Physics
Acoustics
Math
Other basic sciences
Aerodynamics
The movement of air and the forces used to generate the movements
Acoustics
A branch of physics devoted to the study of sound:its production, transmission, receptionand effects
Kinematics
Study of motion, the positions, velocities, acceleration of body parts
Dynamics
Concerned with forces that cause movements
Branch of physics/mechanics that studies motion
Newton’s laws
Psychoacoustics
addresses the relationship between the physical properties
and our perception of these properties
Voice
Production of sound waves by vibration of the vocal folds
Speech
Production of phonemes by structures of the vocal tract above the larynx, particularly the oral cavity
Production of utterances made up of sounds/words/sentences that express thought or feeling`
Speech and voice production is what type of activity
Complex neuromechanical activity
Neuromechanical
Speech production is regulated by both the neurologic system and the physical properties of the structures that it governs
What is the effect of sound/speech
The relationship between physical stimulus and the behavioral response elicited from the listener
What is speech transmission
Involves production of sound waves
What is a sound wave
Produced secondary to a source of vibration
Transmitted through various mediums
Transmitted through a series of compressions and expansions of molecule based on basic acoustic principles
