COMD 5070 Exam 1 Actual Test Questions and
100% Verified Answers
empirical, deterministic, predictive, parsimonious - ANSWER-the scientific method is
_______, ________, ________, and ________
empirical - ANSWER-science is ________: based on data- we collect data and then
interpret it; we have to make sense of the behavior that we're trying to understand
deterministic - ANSWER-science is __________: things obey physical laws; not random
in terms of cause and effect, and can draw generalizations from data that we can
extend on to other situations we have not yet experienced
predictive - ANSWER-science is ________: if a given phenomenon occurs, it can
influence another one; represents cause and effect relationships
parsimonious - ANSWER-science is _________: uses the simplest explanation versus
making it unnecessarily convoluted
listener bias, severity objectively, progress over time, EBP, biofeedback - ANSWER-
why do SLPs use technology?
-overcome _________ _______
-describe ________ _________
-track ________ _______ _______
-ASHA's focus on ___________
-provide ___________ to the client
acoustics - ANSWER-____________ can help by telling us how the larynx is operating
or how articulators are moving; measures speech production through microphone
readings
kinematics - ANSWER-______ is the study of speech movements
aerodynamics - ANSWER-__________ describes the pressures and flows and
resistances involved in regulating our breath stream as we speak
electromyography - ANSWER-__________ is the measure of electrical activity in
muscles as they are activated
speech perception - ANSWER-________ __________ is how the brain interprets
sounds
, complex tone - ANSWER-a _________ ________ involves multiple sine waves
together, blended, with the fundamental frequency as the lowest frequency component
pitch - ANSWER-_________ is the subjective perception of frequency
-it cannot be measured with instruments
-listener matches perceived pitch to that of a pure tone of known frequency
difference limen, more, larger - ANSWER-the frequency _______ ___________ is the
smallest detectable change in frequency that is detectable by a listener
-higher frequency sounds must differ ________ to be heard as different in pitch
-true for comfortable listening level
-as intensity decreases, DLs become ____________
fundamental frequency - ANSWER-the _________ __________ tends to be the loudest
sounding in a complex series of sounds (e.g. harmonics)
harmonics - ANSWER-__________ are periodic, integer multiples of the fundamental
frequency
residue pitch - ANSWER-another name for the missing fundamental phenomenon is
__________ __________
timbre/quality, pitch, harmonic structure, calculation, simulated bass - ANSWER-missing
fundamental:
-_______/________ is different
-_________ is still perceived as the same
-brain processes the ________ ________, by filling in the gaps through __________
-cheap audio equipment takes advantage of this phenomenon with a ________
________
octave, 800, 200 - ANSWER-an _________ is the doubling or halving of a frequency
e.g. if you have a 400 Hz base and you went up an octave, you would reach _______
Hz, and if you went down an octave you would reach _______ Hz
12, nonlinear, bigger - ANSWER-there are _______ semitones in 1 octave
-each semitone is a _________ step- each step upward is _______ than the last (about
5.9%)
-no semitones are physically identical in Hz, but they SOUND equal in step size,
because our human perception of sound is nonlinear
intensity, IL, SPL - ANSWER-___________ is the amplitude or 'size' of a sound
-measured in dB
-based on a logarithmic scale
-the levels are measured in _____ and _____
loudness - ANSWER-_______ is a perceptual characteristic of intensity
