100
This cranial nerve allows us to move our muscles for facial expressions.
What is the facial nerve?
100
The psychological sensation of frequency.
What is pitch?
100
This area of the brain is important for the comprehension and processing of speech.
What is Wernicke's area?
100
A graphic representation of sound over time.
What is a waveform
100
This model oversimplifies how we plan for speech.
What is the Wernicke-Geschwind Model?
200
This cranial nerve is important for moving our larynx, pharynx, lungs, and abdominal muscles.
What is the vagus nerve.
200
A combination of multiple frequencies.
What is a complex tone?
200
This area is associated with speech production and articulation.
What is Broca's area?
200
The shaping of the vocal tract to create speech sounds.
What is articulation?
200
This model states that processing happens simultaneously in many areas of the brain.
What is the parallel model?
300
This cranial nerve moves the muscles of the tongue.
What is the hypoglossal nerve?
300
A type of waveform repeats at regular intervals over time.
What is a periodic waveform?
300
Band of nerves that connects Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area.
What is the arcuate fasciculus?
300
The quality of a sound that distinguishes one voice or musical instrument from another.
What is timbre?
300
This neuron provides information to the central nervous system.
What is afferent neurons?
400
These two cranial nerves we talked about are only motor.
What are the accessory and hypoglossal nerves?
400
This is the psychological sensation of amplitude.
What is loudness?
400
This area encodes the movements and provides the execution and voluntary control of motor planning for speech.
What is the primary motor cortex?
400
The vibrating response of an object to an applied force.
What is resonance?
400
The description of the rhythm and tonal patterns of speech.
What is prosody?
500
This cranial nerve that we discussed is only sensory.
What is the vestibulocochlear nerve?
500
The amount of time it takes to complete one cycle.
What is the period of a waveform?
500
This part of the brain is important for smooth motor control.
What is the basal ganglia?
500
The lowest frequency of a vibrating object, which determines the pitch of the voice.
What is the fundamental frequency (F0)?
500
A method used to analyze the individual frequency components of a sound
What is Fourier analysis?
