Question
Answer
3 registers commonly referred to are   modal register, glottal fry/pulse register and falsetto  
🗑
3 types of attack   breathy, simultaneous and glottal  
🗑
abdominal fixation   process of impounding air in the thorax to stabilize the torso  
🗑
average fundamental frequency   reflects the frequency of vibration of sustained phonation such as conversational speech  
🗑
Bernoulli Effect   given a constant volume flow of air or fluid, at a point of constriction there will be a decrease in air pressure perpendicular to the flow and an increase in velocity of the flow  
🗑
breathy vocal attack   vocal attack in which expiration occurs before the onset of vocal fold adduction  
🗑
breathy voice   inefficient, air wastage, air escaping while talking  
🗑
clearing throat   pressure is built up from tightening the laryngeal musculature  
🗑
coughing   is a response by the tissues of the respiratory passageway to an irritant or foreign object, mediated by the visceral afferent (sensory) portion of the X vagus nerve innervating the bronchial mucosa  
🗑
cough   forceful evacuation of the respiratory passageway, including deep inhalation through widely abducted vocal folds, tensing and tight adduction of the vocal folds, and elevation of the larynx, followed by forceful expiration  
🗑
Diadochokinesis aka AMR (alternating motor rate)   refers to the alternation of articulators  
🗑
frequency   number of cycles of vibration per second  
🗑
frequency perturbation aka vocal jitter   measure of cycle by cycle variation in fundamental frequency of vibration  
🗑
glottal attack   the vocal attack in which expiration occurs after adduction of the vocal folds (a cough)  
🗑
habitual pitch   frequency of vibration of vf habitually used during speech  
🗑
intensity   magnitude of sound, expressed as the relationship between two pressures or powers  
🗑
intonation   the melody of speech, provided by variation of the fundamental frequency  
🗑
linguistic elements include   pitch, intonation, loudness, stress, duration and rhythm  
🗑
maximum phonation time   refers to the duration of phonation an individual is capage of sustaining/Sustained phonation provides an index of phonatory plus respiratory efficiency  
🗑
muscle spindles   bodies responsible for monitoring and maintaining tonic muscle length  
🗑
modal register aka modal phonation   refers to the pattern of phonation used in daily conversation  
🗑
vertical mode   the vf open from inferior to superior and close same way  
🗑
anterior/posterior mode   vf open and close in anterior to posterior mode  
🗑
monopitch   without variation in vocal pitch (the perception of frequency)  
🗑
monoloud   without variation in vocal loudness (the perception of vocal intensity)  
🗑
natural frequency of vibration   frequency at which a body vibrates given its mass, tension and elasticity  
🗑
octave   doubling of frequency  
🗑
optimal pitch   the perceptual characteristic representing the ideal or most efficient frequency of vibration of the vocal folds  
🗑
phonation   is the product of vibrating vocal folds within the larynx  
🗑
pitch   is the psychological (perceptual) correlate of frequency of vibration  
🗑
pressed phonation   an increase in the strident or harsh quality that tends to abuse the voice  
🗑
prosody   the system of stress used to vary the meaning of speech  
🗑
simultaneous vocal attack   vocal attack in which expiration and vocal fold adduction occur simultaneously  
🗑
suprasegmental   parameters of speech that include prosody, pitch, and loudness changes for meaning  
🗑
sustained phonation   phonation which continues for long durations due to tonic contraction of vocal fold adductors  
🗑
stress   the product of relative increase in fundamental frequency, vocal intensity, and duration  
🗑
terminate phonation   we abduct/open the vocal folds to terminate phonation/When we are not phonating the vf are abducted to prohibit air turbulence  
🗑
vocal attack   movement of vocal folds into the airstream to initiate phonation  
🗑
vocal fundamental frequency   primary frequency of vibration of the vocal folds  
🗑
vocal intensity   sound pressure level associated with a given speech production  
🗑
vocal jitter   cycle by cycle variation in fundamental frequency of vibration  
🗑
vocal register   register or mode refers to differences in vibration of the vocal folds  
🗑
waveform   a representation of displacement of a body over time and displays what was vibrating  
🗑
whistle register   a register above falsetto that is not apparently a mode of vibration  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
