Quiz 1 Questions Flashcards
Different kinds of sounds can generate different types of signals that can provided different types of feedback. How might tactile and proprioceptive feedback work together during speech?
a) By measuring sound intensity through vibrations in sounds like, vowels.
b) By analyzing airflow patterns to determine pitch.
c) By detecting specific locations of muscle tension and airflow, in sounds like voiced fricatives.
d) By visually tracking the movements of articulators, like velum.
c) By detecting specific locations of muscle tension and airflow, in sounds like voiced fricatives.
Compared to the [s] sound, the production of [ʃ] often involves forming a groove in the middle of the tongue, with the sides raised, in many languages (i.e., the middle of the tongue is lowered while the sides are elevated). A linguist is studying whether the size of this groove varies depending on the number of fricatives in a language’s consonant inventory. Which imaging characteristics would be most useful for this investigation?
a) Transverse plane
b) Coronal plane
c) Midsagittal plane
d) Parasagittal plane
b) Coronal plane
While speaking, John suddenly realized that he mispronounced a phoneme. At the same time, he also notice a sign of surprise in the face of his interlocutor. He paused and corrected the pronunciation by saying the word again. What type of feedback most likely helped John identify the error?
a) Auditory feedback from his own voice and hearing system.
b) Auditory feedback from his interlocutor.
c) Proprioception feedback from his skull.
d) Aerotactile feedback from his lungs.
a) Auditory feedback from his own voice and hearing system.
An ultrasound slice of the tongue that shows its length from the tip to the root is likely taken in the sagittal plane.
True or false?
True
A deck of midsagittal slices of the tongue, taken over time, will allow you to observe whether the sides of your tongue are moving symmetrically during speech.
True or false?
False
The sense of proprioception, which provides information about body position and movement, is considered a type of haptic feedback.
True or false
True
Consider the following illustration. John makes the following observation based on the slice:
“It is a midsagittal slice and it will allow us to compare whether an anatomical structure of located anterior to another structure.”
Is John’s observation true or false?
False
