Question
Answer
When air particles are close together   Compression  
🗑
The source of sound is something that   causes vibration  
🗑
In wave propagation, the individual particles move   back and forth a short distance  
🗑
Speech and hearing scientist use the waveform to represent the pressure wave. The peak on the waveform represents periods of   Compression  
🗑
The height of a waveform represents   Amplitude (How loud)  
🗑
Hertz measures   Frequency (Cycles/sec.)  
🗑
T/F All sounds in English have approximately the same pitch   false  
🗑
T/F The human voice is an example of a simple sound wave.   false  
🗑
Examples of complex sounds   Periodic & aperiodic sounds  
🗑
T/F The tympanic membrane functions most efficiently when it is very tight.   False  
🗑
3 resonance cavities relevant to speech   Pharynx, oral, naval  
🗑
The phonatory system is primarily represented by which anatomical structure.   Vocal folds  
🗑
Pull vocal folds apart   Vocal fold abductors  
🗑
2 primary ways of increasing amplitude   increasing vocal fold aDDuction & increasing breath support.  
🗑
125 Hz is the average fundamental frequency of   men  
🗑
If you stretch your vocal folds, your speech will   get higher in pitch  
🗑
Bring vocal folds together   vocal fold adductors  
🗑
Primary muscle of inhalation   the diaphragm  
🗑
T/F The primary function of the vocal folds is to produce sounds.   True  
🗑
T/F Speech breathing is no different than regular breathing in terms of inhale/exhale ratio.   True  
🗑
An intermediary connection between the tongue and the larynx.   epiglottis  
🗑
T/F Vocal fold sit on top of the trapea   true  
🗑
The 4 systems of speech production   Respiratory, phonatory, resonance, articulatory  
🗑
Respiratory   LUNGS  
🗑
Phonatory   LEVEL OF VOCAL FOLDS  
🗑
Resonance   "THE MEGAPHONE" (pharynx, mouth, & nasal)  
🗑
Articulatory   STRUCTURES (tongue, teeth,...etc.)  
🗑
T/F The diaphragm is shaped like a parachute.   True  
🗑
Closes off the larynx   Epiglottis  
🗑
Resonating chambers   Throat, mouth, nasal  
🗑
What do resonating chambers do?   Alter sounds & act like a megaphone  
🗑
T/F Vocal folds are inside the thyroid cartilage   True  
🗑
Word assigned to space between the vocal folds   Glotus  
🗑
Frequency determines   What pitch.  
🗑
Quality determines   How healthy and harsh.  
🗑
Amplitude determines   How loud.  
🗑
Tighter vocal folds =   Increased pitch  
🗑
Sound waves=   pressure waves  
🗑
Physical sound   Creates vibrations  
🗑
Perceptual sound   goes into ear canal  
🗑
2 requirements for sound   Vibration & medium  
🗑
Through which sounds can propagate   medium  
🗑
T/F Any singular molecule travels in its own distance.   True  
🗑
T/F Air particles are not displaced over a large distance.   True  
🗑
Amplitude   Loudness ( Decibels & pascals)  
🗑
Like a rubber ducky- muscle action pulls open lungs, sucking air in.   Inhalation  
🗑
20-25db=   Good hearing!  
🗑
Regular pattern of pressure & speed   Periodic  
🗑
Random variation in pressure and speed   Aperiodic  
🗑
Complex sounds can be   Periodic or aperiodic  
🗑
A 3 dimensional representation of speech used to analyze sounds   Spectogram  
🗑
3 dimensions of speech   time, frequency, loudness  
🗑
Pushing air particles out of lungs   exhale  
🗑
Causes the vibration ('Source of Sound")   Phonatory system  
🗑
Major components of the phonatory system   Larynx, hyoid bone, vocal folds  
🗑
Only bone that doesn't attach to another bone. Important for swallowing.   Hyoid bone  
🗑
Fundamental frequency   Hertz, Mass/unit length, Cricothyroid muscle  
🗑
Pull and stretches vocal folds   Cricothyroid muscle  
🗑
Lowest pitch we can make   Fundamental frequency  
🗑
Mass/Unit Length   thicker vocal folds=lower pitch  
🗑
Rate of vibration per/sec   Pitch  
🗑
215 Hz is the average fundamental frequency of   women  
🗑
2 catagories of hearing loss   Sensorineural & Conductive  
🗑
Hearing loss when there is fraying of hairs. (most common, age related)   Sensorineural  
🗑
Hearing loss when there is fluid in ear. (hearing wave)   Conductive  
🗑
