Class 1 Flashcards
1
Q
The mechanics of optimal voice production depends on the presence of what, according to Andrews (1986)?
A
Intact functional structures capable of supporting coordinated sequences of respiratory, phonatory and resonatory activity
2
Q
What are the respiratory requirements for vocal encoding?
A
- Intact structures
- Appropriate breathing patterns for speaking
- Coordination of breathing patterns for speech
3
Q
What are the phonatory requirements for vocal encoding?
A
- Intact laryngeal mechanism
- Coordination of respiration with phonation
4
Q
What are the resonatory requirements for vocal encoding?
A
- Intact supraglottic structures
- Adequate oral breath pressure
- Adequate velopharyngeal sphincter function
5
Q
Other than the mechanics, what else is important to consider in vocal encoding?
A
- timing
- synchronisation
- sensory feedback
6
Q
As vocal competence develops, atypically developing child learns what?
A
- When to speak, when not to speak
- How loudly to speak in given contexts
- How to convey emotion when you speak
7
Q
When assessing someones vocal competence or vocal encoding, we must also consider what?
A
- Adequate structural requirements?
- Adequate hearing?
- Good vocal mechanism control?
- Any personal factors?
- Verbal and NV communication skills? (ASD)
8
Q
What is the purpose of a voice evaluation?
A
- offers a detailed description of the individuals vocal characteristics
