CSD 311 - Speech and Hearing Science

These flashcards cover key concepts and details from the CSD 311 Speech and Hearing Science lecture, focusing on the fundamentals of communication processes and the scientific principles underlying the field.

What is the primary focus of Speech and Hearing Science?

To understand how speech is produced and perceived.

What are the two components of communication as discussed in the lecture?

Speech production and speech comprehension.

What disciplines provide foundational knowledge for Speech Pathology and Audiology?

Physics, linguistics, biology, exercise physiology, medicine, and psychology.

What methodological approaches are used in Speech and Hearing Science?

Empirical and observational methods.

What must happen to a message in the speech chain before it reaches the listener?

The message must be generated and turned into an acoustic signal.

What does the Speech Chain model highlight about communication breakdowns?

If any steps in the speech chain break down, communication will be interfered with or will not take place.

What is a key reason for studying Speech and Hearing Science?

It forms the theoretical framework for research and practice in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) and Audiology.

How do technologies like spectrograms assist speech-language pathologists?

They provide feedback during therapy by analyzing a client's speech.

What can affect how speech sounds vary according to the lecture?

Context, speaker differences, speaking styles, or emotions.

What are the critical components involved in the Speech Chain model?

Message generation, signal transmission, and message reception.
