,u-tube manometer, electronic equipment, static, dynamic - --Answer --a
________ ________ is a tubed device containing water that is level on both sides
until pressure is applied to it and displaces it
-once pressure is applied, measure the difference in height of both columns, and
that will give you the cm of water that has been displaced by pressure applied
-used to calibrate _____ ______ used to measure pressure
-measures _____ pressure but not suited for ________ pressure of speech
production
cmH2O - --Answer --what is the pressure unit of measurement used in
speech research?
pressure transducer - --Answer --a ________ _________ is a device you
stick in a person's mouth while they speak to measure intraoral pressure

, -it is equal to atmospheric pressure for _________, elevated for ______, and
highest for ______ _______
subglottal pressure - --Answer --Ps or Psub stands for ________ ________
and is the driving pressure for phonation/speech
(pressure from lungs to larynx)
tracheal puncture, esophageal pressure - --Answer --what are 2 ways you can
measure subglottal pressure (Psub)? (1 direct and 1 indirect measure)
tracheal puncture - --Answer --in a ________ ________, a physician creates
a hole in the trachea (below the larynx) & puts a mini pressure transducer into it to
measure the pressure
-provides direct & accurate measures during speech, but it is invasive and hard to
attract volunteers
esophageal balloon - --Answer --because the esophagus shares its anterior
wall with the posterior wall of the trachea, past researchers have indirectly
measured Psub using an _________ __________ which contains a sensor that a
person swallows partway into their esophagus
-this gives an indirect measure of Psub and is not commonly used today
laryngeal devoicing gesture, Pio, Psub - --Answer --when producing a CV
syllable containing a VL bilabial stop such as /p/, the point of lip closure for /p/
