Resource summary

Question 1

Question
A normal infant's tongue nearly fills the oral cavity, and moves primarily in an anterior-posterior direction, which limits the number and type of consonant sounds produced by infants.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 2

Question
Resonance in the three cavities of the oral facial mechanism (articulatory system) is directly essential to the production of consonant sounds.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
Laryngeal muscles work to change the mass per unit length of the vocal folds which results in perceived variations in vocal pitch.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Vocal fold vibration, referred to has "voicing" or "phonation" is essential to the production of all vowel and numerous consonant sounds.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
The "breath group" which is the number of breaths required to produce a single utterance, is imposed on speech by the rhythm of inspiration and expiration.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
The speech purpose of the respiratory system is to produce phonation.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
The accurate and audible production of speech sounds is dependent on the precise, simultaneous, coordinated interaction of the respiratory, phonatory (laryngeal), and orofacial (articulatory) systems.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 8

Question
The ability to produce the sounds of "speech" accurately is primarily dependent on the development of cognitive (intellectual) abilities.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
"Cooing" is one of the earliest speech behaviors displayed by infants, occurring normally around the age of 2 or 3 months.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
It is common for children to experience changes to misarticulate certain fricative sounds such as /s/ and /z/ about the time they are 6 to 7 years old. This is because
Answer
  • They larynx drops from the level of the 3rd vertebra to the level of the 5th vertebra about this time, changing the shape of the vocal tract and temporarily producing a negative impact on consonant production.
  • Changes in cranial shape alter the structure and shape of the oral and nasal cavities.
  • The root of the tongue descends into the neck to become the anterior wall of the pharynx, which temporarily restricts the ability of the tongue to reach high, front positions needed to produce fricative sounds.
  • The angle at which the oral and pharyngeal cavities meet is modified by changes in the depth of the pharynx, which alter resonance and impact fricative production.
  • Primary dentition is shed at about this time with the incisors, crucial to fricative production, typically being the first teeth affected.

Question 11

Question
The term "articulation" implies movement. Specifically, the articulators
Answer
  • Modulate resonance in the cavities of the orofacial mechanism (articulatory system).
  • Constrict airflows and produce identifiable consonant sounds.
  • Increase subglottal air pressure.
  • Produce relatively open mouth positions and the cavity resonance associated with vowel sounds.
  • All of the above.

Question 12

Question
A talker increases the medial compression force of the vocal folds and simultaneously uses the respiratory system to increase subglottal air pressure. The result is
Answer
  • Decrease in fundamental frequency
  • Increased vocal loudness
  • Perceived pitch fluctuation.
  • Increase in fundamental frequency in a male speaker but decrease in the fundamental frequency of a female speaker.
  • Reduced vocal intensity.

Question 13

Question
From the point of view of speech sound production, the single most important purpose of the phonatory mechanism (laryngeal system) is to:
Answer
  • Act to increase thoracic rigidity to aid in strenuous physical activities.
  • Function as a valve precluding entry of food and liquid into the respiratory system.
  • Determine an individual's characteristic vocal pitch
  • Produce phonation (voicing).
  • All of the above.

Question 14

Question
In what way might you expect breathing in young children to differ from that of adults.
Answer
  • Actually, there is little significant difference between the speech breathing patterns of young children and those of adults.
  • Young children's lungs are healthier and more elastic than are those of most adults which contributes to slower breathing rates and longer breath groups.
  • Because children's lungs are smaller than those of adults, they employ substantially less air pressure, which causes them to speak more quietly but with adult-like duration on a single breath.
  • Young children have a substantially faster rate of respiration and use greater air pressure than adults do when speaking, which results in relatively short breath groups.
  • None of the above.

Question 15

Question
In order to produce speech, the respiratory system is the first charged by air by means of:
Answer
  • The phonatory (laryngeal) system
  • Precise, coordinated, simultaneous movements of the orofacial (articulatory), phonatory (laryngeal) and respiratory systems

  • The larynx, including the vocal folds and intrinsic laryngeal muscles.
  • The diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
  • All the above acting in precise, simultaneous,coordinated movements.
  • None of the above.

Question 17

Question

  • An 11-month old refers consistently to the family dog as /nabi/, which nobody in the family can figure out because the dog's name is "Frank."
  • A new mother reports her 6-month-old called her "mommy" yesterday. She says, "I heard him in his crib calling me, saying 'ma-ma-ma-ma-ma' over and over. I'm SO proud. I'm sure he's gifted."
  • A 12-month-old says, "bee-da-goo-ba-do" with an upward ending

Speech development is more complicated than simply learning to produce sounds in isolation. This is because:
Answer
  • There are no words that consist of a single sound (phoneme) in isolation.
  • The ease or difficulty with which a given sound is produced in a given word is influenced by the sounds that occur around it in a speech stream.
  • Tiny alterations in speech sounds signal significant changes in meaning and such alterations may occur at any place within a word.

  • Many acquire English as a second language.
  • Public schools are inadequately funded and the teaching profession as a whole is devalued and disrespected
  • Poor speech models portrayed on television give many children in inadequate phonemic base even in their native language.
  • English speech sounds are more difficult to learn than are the phonemic elements of most other languages.
  • Speech production is complicated by elements of manner, place, voicing, continuance, and surrounding phonemic environment which impact every sound in a speech stream.
