QuestionAnswer
Sensory/Perceptual Disorders -hearing loss (otitis media, Sensorineural hearing loss) - Speech sounds errors for quiet sounds (s, f, t, k) - may have other delays in language
Preservative coarticulation A sound is influenced by the preceding sound. Example: the /b/ in 'cool beans'.
phonological Disorder - difficulty acquiring the rules of the sound system - omitting final word consonants - can produce all speech sounds appropriate for their age, but can't us the sounds in certain contexts
Manner of production How the sound is made (fricative, stop, nasal, glottal, glides).
emmbolism moving clot from another part of the body
Childhood Dysarthria - caused by stroke, head injury, muscular dystrophy - muscles are weakened, paralyzed, or uncoordinated - results in difficulties with respiration, phonation, and articulation - leading cause: Cerebral Palsy
Stuttered Disfluencies: Part-word repetition "I wa-wa want to go home"
Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD) Abnormal involuntary movements of the larynx - adductor: vocal folds are tightly closed resulting in a strained voice quality -abductor: vocal folds are open, breathy weak voice -mixed: both adductor and abductor
Wernicke's aphasia Impaired auditory comprehension, fluent speech, using different words, jargon (temporal lobe)
language delay vs. language disorder (can be receptive/expressive, or both) - Later emergence of language, might catch up with peers - receptive and/or expressive difficulties
Motor/Neurological Speech Disorders - Dysarthria - Apraxia
Stuttered disfluencies: Disrhythmic phonations - Sound prolongations: "Lllllllook at that dog" - Blocks: "See the b(stop)-aby"
Anticipatory coarticulation A sound is influenced by the upcoming sound. Example: the /t/ in 'twice'.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech Childhood Apraxia of Speech - affects the ability of motor planning - no muscle weakness - child knows what they want to say, but have problems thinking about what muscles to use
voicing Whether the vocal folds are vibrating
Multisyllabic disfluency Word repetition in 2 or more syllable words Ex: "She really-really is here"
Disfluency Interruptions in the forward flow of speech
medical model Provides diagnostic clarity and common language, but may overemphasize impairment
height A characteristic of vowels.
What causes brain damage? Tumors, Progressive Deterioration, Closed head injuries, open head injury's
Carcinoma cancerous tumor, possible laryngectomy
Nasal cavity Nostrils to the velopharynx.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (1% of population) Deficits in... - social interaction - communication - stereotypical behaviors, interests, and activities - 25% also exhibit an intellectual disability
What about when the vocal folds shorten, what happens to the pitch? Become thicker and less tense, lower pitches
resonance Transfer of sound from vocal folds through the vocal tract.
Revisions or abandoned utterances disfluency "I was- I am going" "Yesterday I went-hey look at that thing"
Fluency Speech is effortless, easy
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) - may affect multiple language components - significant receptive and/or expressive language difficulties. - often persists into adolescence and adulthood
Functional voice Disorders Psychological factors, faulty use of mechanism (aphonia)
Broca's aphasia Non fluent, effortful speech, auditory comprehension is minimally impaired (frontal lobe)
Speech Sound Disorders (in childhood) articulation and phonological disorders, are functional
Intellectual disability - significantly sub average intellectual functioning (IQ below 70) - most have impairments in language content; some also in language form
Childhood language disorders Can be in morphology, syntax, semantics, and/or pragmatics
Acquired Apraxia occurs because of a stroke or other type of brain damage after learning speech
Interjection/Filler disfluency Uh's and um's between words
Learning disabilities - difficulties acquiring and using academic skills - may affect multiple areas - tend to run in family Examples: - dyslexia - Auditory/Language Processing Disorder
Articulation Process of forming speech sounds (phonemes).
Frontness/backness A characteristic of vowels.
Place of articulation Which articulations are being used. (Alveolar, velar, bilabial, labiodental)
Dementia Regressive decline in thinking, reasoning, language, judgement. Alzheimer's is the most frequent etiology
Oral cavity Lips to back of throat
Phrase repetition disfluency phrase is repeated Ex: "I was I was going to work"
ischemic stroke Blockage of blood vessels
thrombus Clot from gradual accumulation of plaque
Organic voice disorders Related to physical changes in the larynx (cancer)
Hemorrhages bursting of blood vessels
Pharyngeal cavity Extends from vocal folds to the nasal cavity.
Aphasia Acquired language disorder results in difficulty in producing or understanding speech (left hemisphere)
Articulation Disorde - difficulty with articulation of speech sounds - produces sounds incorrectly due to faulty articulation movements - not moving the articulators the right way
Stuttered Disfluencies: Single syllable word repetition "I-I-I-I can do it"
voice Disorders Any deviation of the loudness, pitch, or quality that is outside the typical range for a person's age, sex, geographic or cultural background
Vocal fold paralysis Unilateral or bilateral loss of laryngeal movements (including vocal fold opening or closing) that may be caused by damage to the brainstem, resulting in a weak, breathy voice, or possible difficulty breathing if paralyzed in the closed position
Pitch When the vocal folds lengthen, they become thinner and more tense, resulting in higher pitches.
Global aphasia All parts of language are severely impaired (all of the left hemisphere
Articulators Tongue (most important), mandible, maxilla, alveolar ridge, soft palate (velum), hard palate, lips, teeth.
Neurological voice disorders Muscle control and innervation (spasmodic dysphonia, vocal fold paralysis)
Vocal nodes callous-like growths on the vocal cords caused by vocal abuse
Neurodiversity Emphasizes natural variation and inclusion, but may understate challenges and has limited capacity
Structural Disorders Structural Disorders - cleft lip or palate, results in a hole in the soft or hard palate, or both - results in velopharyngeal insufficiency resulting in hypernasality
