study set questions well answered
__________________ is frequency's perceptual correlate. - correct answer ✔✔Objective
measure (what is physically happening). How many times per second the vocal folds are coming
together. Rate.
pitch
Intensity
______________________ is intensity's perceptual correlate. - correct answer ✔✔Objective
measure of how far the vocal folds separate and how quickly they come back together. Airflow.
loudness
Quality - correct answer ✔✔A voice feature of how well the vocal folds work during their cycle.
-Are the vocal folds symmetric?
Are they harmonious?
Assessment process - correct answer ✔✔- medicinal referral
- visualize the folds
- case history
- clinical observation
, Stroboscopy - correct answer ✔✔A method of vocal fold visualization for medical assessment.
Voice Disorder - correct answer ✔✔If a voice differs in pitch, loudness, and/or quality compared
to what is typical AND to the extent that it calls NEGATIVE attention to the speaker/and or
interferes w/ communication.
Prevalence of voice disorders - correct answer ✔✔- 6 in 100 people
- People who talk a lot have higher incidence (teachers, singers, etc.)
- Women have higher incidence than men
Women are more likely to get a voice disorder than men b/c of 3 things... - correct answer ✔✔-
female folds vibrate more (b/c they are smaller)
-male folds are thicker (can handle more impact)
-chemical differences (estrogen can hurt voice)
Etiologies. Voice disorders can be classified in 3 groups: - correct answer ✔✔-structural
-neurogenic
-functional/psychogenic
Vocal Nodules - correct answer ✔✔A structural voice disorder.
Small callous growths that form gradually on inner edges of vocal folds due to Phonotrauma,
bilateral, and mostly seen in women and children.
