Sternocledomastoid
Muscle of respiration, elevates the sternum
Muscle which opposes velopharyngeal closure
palatoglossus
Major acoustic characteristic of voiceless fricatives
aperiodicity
Front vowels characterized by
High frequency second formant (F2)
Technique which results in temporary facilitation of swallow reflex
Thermal stimulation??
Stroboscopy
effective instrument for viewing the vocal folds (VFs)
Bulbar palsy characterized by
Flaccid paralysis
Independent variable
manipulated to determine its effect on the dependent variable
Within-subjects design
dependent variables are measured repeatedly in the same subjects under different tasks/conditions
between-subjects design
each participant participates in one and only one group. The results from each group are then compared to each other to examine differences, and thus, effect of the IV. For example, in a study examining the effect of Bayer aspirin vs Tylenol on headaches, we can have 2 groups (those getting Bayer and those getting Tylenol). Participants get either Bayer OR Tylenol, but they do NOT get both
Multiple baseline design
The multiple baseline design allows for evaluation across clients, situations, or problems. It is a true experimental design in that it allows for causal inference. It is extremely useful for evaluating situations where an intervention would be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable
Flaccid paralysis of soft palate remediated by
palatal lift appliance to compensation for intact but non-functioning palate
1st choice of tx for submucous cleft
surgery
1st choce for congenitally short palate
surgery
Best way to assess swallow (prior to providing speech tx)
modified barium swallow
ellipses
omission of words or other linguistic units b/c they’re unnecessary or contextually inferred. An ellipsis is a set of three periods ( . . . ) indicating an omission.
deixis
A word (such as this, that, these, those, now, then) that points to the time, place, or situation in which the speaker is speaking. Also known as deixis.
Leading causes of aphasia
CVA, TBI, seizures, tumors, neurodegenerative disorders (dementia & primary progressive aphasia)
Fluent aphasias
Wernicke’s, conduction, transcortical sensory, anomic
Anomic aphasia (location)
tempo-parietal, angular gyrus; second temporal gyrus
