Cards

Term
Abductors
Definition
help to open the vocal folds
Term
Tensors
Definition
tense and lengthen folds to modify pitch and loudness
Term
Four Vocal Parameters
Definition
pitch, loudness, vocal quality, resonance
Term
Average pitch of the adult male voice
Definition
125 hz.

Example of chronic illnesses

Term
Hypernasality
Definition
excessively nasal speech resonance, which may result in unintelligible speech. The cause is velopharyngeal dysfunction with emission of too much air through the nose
Term
Hyponasality
Definition
a speech characteristic caused by insufficient resonance of air in the nasal cavity, so that speakers sound as if they have a cold. consonant sounds /m/, /n/, and /ng/ are affected.
Term

"callous-like", benign, bilateral, most common lesion, removed with surgery, hoarseness
Term
Polyps
Definition
"blister-like", fluid-filled, unilateral, caused by something like yelling
Term
Articulation
Definition
shaping of speech sounds by lips, tongue and other articulators
Term
Phonology
Definition
the study of the rules and patterns
Term
Consonants
Definition
a phoneme that is produced with some vocal tract constriction or occlusion
Term
Vowels
Definition
any of several voiced phonemes that are produced with a relatively open vocal tract
Term
Allophones
Definition
a phonemic variation
Term
Phonological process
Definition
patterns of speech, sound substitutions or omissions.
Term
Stopping
Definition
consonant phoneme produced by building air pressure behind the point of constriction
Term
Fronting
Definition
sounds produced at the back of the mouth are produced at the front of the mouth. example: tar for car
Term
Consonant deletion
Definition
consonants are deleted. final consonant deletion is the most common.
Term
Syllable deletion

weak (unstressed) syllables are deleted.

omission of one or more consonant in a cluster

Characterized by rigidity and exaggerated stress reflex, 60% of the population
Term
atheoid cerebal palsy
Definition
30% of the population, slow disorganized movements, writhing.
Term
ataxic cerebral palsy
Definition
characterized by uncoordinated movement and disturbed balance. movements lack direction, and hypotonic muscles lack adequate force and rate and have poor directional control
Term
cerebral palsy
Definition
a heterogeneous group of neurogenic disorders that result in difficulty with motor movement; were acquired before, during or shortly after birth; affect one or more limbs
Term
Motor-speech problems associated with cerebral palsy
Definition
inadequate or inconsistent respiration, difficulty differentiating phonemes.
Term
Dysarthria
Definition
involves impaired articulation, respiration, phonation, or prosody as a result of paralysis, muscle weakness, or poor coordination. motor functions may be excessively slow or rapid, decreased in range or strength, and have poor directionality and timing.
Term
Is dysarthria a language disorder?
Definition
yes.
Term
Flaccid dysarthria
Definition
characterized by weak, soft muscle tone
Term
Spastic dysarthria
Definition
speech that is characterized as slow with jerky, imprecise articulation and reduction of the rapidly alternating movements of speech because of stiff and rigid muscles.
Term
Hyperkinetic dysarthria
Definition
a speech disorder characterized by increased movement, such as tremors and tics and by inaccurate articulation
Term
Hypokenetic dysarthria
Definition
a speech disorder that is characterized by a decrease or lack of appropriate movement as muscles become rigid and stiff, resulting in monopitch and monoloudness and imprecise articulation
Term
Mixed dysarthria
Definition
symptoms or areas of brain injury that cross several dysarthria as a result of degenerative disorders, toxins, metabolic disorders, stroke, tumors, trauma or infectious diseases.
Term
Apraxia
Definition
Term
The four phases of the swallowing process
Definition
anticipatory phase, oral phase, pharyngeal phase, esophageal phase
Term
Bolus
Definition
ball of food made during swallowing process
Term
Silent aspiration
Definition
lack of coughing when food or liquid enters the airway
