Question 1

1. Research involving delayed auditory feedback (DAF) has shown

A. it has no effect on the suprasegmental aspects of speech

B. that DAF only affects children

C. that it affects speech fluency

D. that it markedly reduces speech intelligibility

Answer 1

C. that it affects speech fluency

Question 2

2. When prelingually deafened children are compared to post-lingually deafened children, it is clear that

A. auditory feedback has limited importance in speech and language acquisition

B. auditory feedback is mainly important in developing suprasegmental functions such as stress, intonation, duration, and juncture, and less important in developing the segmental aspects of speech and language

C. the role of auditory feedback in speech and language development is difficult to determine

D. auditory feedback is extremely important to speech and language acquisition

Answer 2

*D. auditory feedback is extremely important to speech and language acquisition

Question 3

. What is the role of auditory feedback in speech motor control for adult speakers?

A. It is important to intelligibility and accuracy at the segmental level.

B. It is important to accuracy at the segmental level only.

C. It is not important at the segmental level, but may be important at the suprasegmental level.

D. It is not important in speech motor control at all.

Answer 3

C. It is not important at the segmental level, but may be important at the suprasegmental level.
