Answer 5

Answer 6

false

Question 7

______ (adequacy) concerns whether the analysis provides significant generalizations of the observed data

Answer 7

descriptive adequacy

Question 8

____(adequacy) concerns whether the analysis presents all data points accurately

Answer 8

observational adequacy

Question 9

_____ (adequacy) concerns whether the analysis provides a principled basis for the choice between competing descriptions and has predictive power

Answer 9

explanatory adequacy

Question 10

3 levels of adequacy in order

Answer 10

2. observational 2. descriptive 3. explanatory

Question 11

as you go down the list, the level of adequacy in analysis is

Answer 11

higher

Question 12

most desirable level of adequacy

Answer 12

ideally all, but the higher level, number 3 because of the list is what is higher. explanatory.

Question 13

what kind of adequacy should your analysis of speech data aim to achieve?

Answer 13

all of the above. all of the levels of adequecy.

Question 14

which of the following is NOT a general acoustic correlate of a stressed syllable in english?
higher pitch, longer duration, greater intensity, breathier voice

Answer 14

breathier voice is BOT a general acoustic correlate of a stressed syllable in english

Question 15

post-focuswords show a flatter pitch contour because they lost their

Answer 15

pitch accents

Question 16

which of the following has the best segmentability when followed by a vowel? /s/ /w/ /v/ or /r/

Answer 16

/s/ sibilants are easier to detect. don’t say “fff” to quiet someone you say “shhh”

Question 17

pitch accents are a intrinsic/extrinsic property and are sometimes not realized on the pitch contour.

Answer 17

pitch accents are a !!intrinsic!! property.

Question 18

which of the following is the best for investigating both pitch and duration?
oral stops, nasal stops, sibilants (s/sh) approximants

Answer 18

nasal stops are the best for investigating both pitch and duration. SONORANT sounds, are best for investigating pitch and duration

Question 19

when the experiment has three independent variables, each of which has two levels the factorial design will create six conditions to test. t/f/

Answer 19

false. there could be more than one level. 2 levels 1 has 2 variables the other has 3 (2X3= 6) 3 levels, each with 2 variables (222)= eight

Question 20

factorial design

Answer 20

test every possible combination of given levels.

Question 21

you can avoid the issue of “variation of utterances” if you collect speech data from the same speaker. t/f/

Answer 21

false

Question 22

keeping the same dynamic range of the spectrogram through the speech alaysis helps you achieve (what type of adequacy):

Answer 22

observational adequacy

Question 23

if the obesrvation of your own data is not consistent with what was argued in the previous studies, your measurements must have flaws t/f

Answer 23

false

Question 24

to achieve obesrvational adequacy, you need to include as many digits as possible after the decimal point in your presentation of data. t/f/

Answer 24

false. 2 digits.

Question 25

in the PRODUCtion experiment, which of the following was/were dependent variables?

Answer 25

acoustic, you produces sounds pitch,duration,intensity

Question 26

in the PRODUCTion experiment, which of the following was/were independent variables?

Answer 26

position of sentence stress

Question 27

in the PERCEPTion experiment which of the following was/wer, dependent variables?

Answer 27

judgement on the position of sentence stress. what they hear.

Question 28

in the PERCEPTion experiment which of the following was/were independent variables?

Answer 28

acousitic sounds pitch manipulation duration manipulation intensity manipulation.

Question 29

independent variables

Answer 29

effect the outcome of the experiment. what we’re looking for. crucial aspect of experimental design. explanatory variables. those we expect to influence the measurement of dependent variables. what we want to identify the presece/absence or the magnitude of such incluense

Question 30

dependent variables

Answer 30

the levels and variables, the sounds pitch,duration intensity. perception=response/judgement of the participants. what we need to observe and measure response variables.
