Speech Production Models

Question 1

In the DIVA model, how does speech begin? AND how is it activated

Answer 1

Speech sounds start via activation of cells in the speech sound Map in be left ventral (inferior) premotor cortex and Broca’s area

Question 2

In the DIVA model, where are the activated speech sounds triggered?

Answer 2

In the initiation map in the SMA

Question 3

What occurs in the articulatory velocity ACCORDING to the DIVA model

Answer 3

Motor commands (describes details of jaw height, tongue tip protrusion, lip protrusion)

Question 4

What occurs in the ventral motor cortex (primary motor cortex) ACCORDING to the DIVA model

Answer 4

The position map

Question 5

What is the DIVA model?

Answer 5

Describes how the brain transforms desired movement

Deceives both the learning and the ongoing maintenance of speech production
