ASLP 3030 exam 1 2025 Questions and
Answers
-SLPs use technology because it gives consistent, reliable measurements. - --
CORRECT ANSWER--SLPs' use of technology [why do we use it clinically? how
can acoustics help?
What does it mean for science to be "empirical"? - --CORRECT ANSWER--
Science being empirical means it is based on observable measurement/data
What does it mean for science to be "replicable"? - --CORRECT ANSWER--
Findings need to be able to be tested through experiments and findings need to be
able to be repeated by other scientists.
It helps us overcome listener bias (e.g. sometimes SLPs might hear what we want
to hear, especially if they want their client to get better!) - --CORRECT ANSWER-
-SLPs' use of technology [why do we use it clinically? how can acoustics help?
-Acoustics can help us understand movements of the vocal folds and vocal tract (+
how they might change over time - --CORRECT ANSWER--SLPs' use of
technology [why do we use it clinically? how can acoustics help?

, -Technology helps track progress over time and provide feedback to clients - --
CORRECT ANSWER--SLPs' use of technology [why do we use it clinically? how
can acoustics help?
-Pitch perception - --CORRECT ANSWER--subjective perception, relies on
perceptual judgements, listener ratings
-Frequency measurement - --CORRECT ANSWER--objective, based on
measuring how fast changes in air pressure occur (i.e. number of cycles of
movement per second).
You can measure frequency in waveforms: as frequency increases, the crests/peaks
of the waves get closer together in time; as frequency decreases, the crests/peaks
of the waves get further apart in time. - --CORRECT ANSWER---Frequency
measurement
-Loudness perception: - --CORRECT ANSWER--perceptual, judged by a listener,
cannot be measured by equipment, not correct or incorrect
-Acoustics: - --CORRECT ANSWER--sound pressure changes are related to the
height of a waveform (i.e. how high is the change in air pressure). These are
typically measured in dB which is a logarithmic measurement (rather than a linear
scale
-Intensity measurement - --CORRECT ANSWER--measured in watts per unit area
