Q

What is the first step in making sound?

A

You have a message that you want to present. At this point, nerve impulses move the muscle

Q

What is the second step in making sound?

A

The muscle begin to contract. This muscle contraction are what causes the parts of the speech system to move

Q

What is the third step in making sound?

A

These movements create the shapes in the vocal tract to produce the sounds that we want to make.

Q

What is the most important thing for speech?

A

Air

20
Q

What does airflow force to happen?

A

vocal fold vibration

21
Q

Obstruction in airflow yields ___________ sound sources.

A

supraglottal

22
Q

What is the definition for phonatory source (periodic)?

A

air pressure forces the vocal folds to vibrate

23
Q

What is the definition of the supraglottal source (aperiodic)?

(2)

A
  1. air pressure builds up behind vocal-tract closures and is released (stops)
  2. Air is forced through narrow constrictions (fricatives)
24
Q

What is aperiodic sound due to?

A

the structures inside the vocal tract

25
Q

Lungs provide air supply for both ___________ and ___________.

A

periodic and aperiodic

26
Q

Why is aperiodic sounds important?

A

gives speech its characteristic sound and helps us to differentiate between sounds

27
Q

What can the region between the glottis and lips be modeled as?

A

a tube that is open at one end, closed at the other end

28
Q

What starts to happen as the tube (vocal tract) is altered?

A

the air comes out of the open end is going to be different.

29
Q

In regards to the source filter theory, larynx produces a _________ ________ sound; VT filters the _________ _________.

A

Complex periodic sound

Sound source

30
Q

Speech recorded at the mouth shows both __________ and ________ characteristics.

A

sources and filter

31
Q

What is the vocal tract in regards to vowels?

A

Articulation shape the VT, but VT is relatively open

32
Q

What is the vocal tract in regards to consonants?

A

VT constrictors are (relatively speaking) more important

33
Q

Speech requires the precise coordination of what three systems?

A

Respiration

Phonation

Articulation

34
Q

In stuttering, ___________ and ______________ appear to be in tact; it’s the coordination between phonation and these two systems (particularly articulation) that appears to be off.

A

Respiration

Articulation

35
Q

In regards to blocks beginning at the start of phonation, what is the problem?

A

Problem with the transition from phonation to articulation

36
Q

Phonetically, stuttering is associated with a difficulty transitioning between what?

A

the initial unit and following unit

37
Q

In regards to the production-perception link, perception is ongoing during ___________, and therefore required for production

A

production

38
Q

What is the closed loop system?

A

Doesn’t just send production off but sends speech feedback into the system

39
Q

Sensory information is perceived via what?

A

Feedback

40
Q

What are the three types of sensory feedback?

A
  1. External: auditory, tactile
  2. Proprioceptive - the sense that you have of yourself/your body in space
  3. Internal (no evidence but likely) - feedback from the CNS
41
Q

A model of speech production should reflect a ____________, _______________ in which production and perception, speech, language, and cognition are dependent upon one another.

A

recurrent

closed-loop system

42
Q

Why is it critical to know about normal speech production?

3

A
  1. Changing speech behaviors - learn to do “more of the right things” (i.e., forward- moving speech)
  2. Appreciate the online integration perception and production
  3. Influence of cognitive activity on stuttering
43
Q

In regards to the influences of cognitive activity on stuttering, what are the three influences?

A

Awareness

Anticipation

Emotions

44
Q

Is the mechanism behind choral speech known?

A

No

45
Q

Is choral speech really considered speech?

A

No, because it involves other parts of the brain.

46
Q

Why does choral speech work?

A

When feedback is given to you in a small interval, that is going to give you enough feedback to keep going. It integrates the feedback in order to produce speech that is more so called speech.
