Topical Basics
This is the term for the skill of teaching voice.
What is pedagogy?
Vocal folds do this when they come together.
What is adduct?
This is the 2-layer scheme that describes the vocal folds.
What are the cover and the body?
According to Bernoulli's principle, this happens to pressure when the velocity of fluid increases.
What is pressure drops?
This type of knowledge consists of facts and information.
What is declarative knowledge?
This is the term for the observation-based study that attempts to describe the function of the voice.
What is voice science?
The lungs attach to the rib cage via this structure.
What is the pleural sac?
In a 5-layer scheme, this is the outermost layer of the vocal folds.
What is the epithelium?
Contraction of this muscle elongates and thins the vocal folds.
What is the cricothyroid muscle?
This type of knowledge consists of actions and coordinations.
What is procedural knowledge?
Voice is described as a process of communication involving these three factors.
What are psychological, physical, and perceptual factors?
These are the two primary muscles of inspiration.
What are the diaphragm and the external intercostals?
These are the three layers of the vocal folds in the 3-layer scheme.
What are the mucosa, ligament, and muscle?
Contraction of this muscle shortens and thickens the vocal folds.
What is the thyroarytenoid muscle?
Studio voice teaching is largely based on developing this type of knowledge.
What is procedural knowledge?
This is how our minds organize and interpret sensory information.
What is perception?
These are the cartilages that make up the larynx.
What are the epiglottis, thyroid, arytenoids, and cricoid cartilage?
This is the muscular body of the vocal folds.
What is the thyroarytenoid muscle?
This is the primary factor that determines the pitch produced by vocal fold oscillation.
What is the stiffness of the vocal folds?
Singing is considered this kind of task.
What is a complex motor task?
Motor performance is greatly improved by attention to these, rather than biomechanical processes.
What are outcomes?
This bone suspends the larynx.
What is the hyoid bone?
The layers of the lamina propria can be described as being this.
What is viscous or gel-like?
The buzz produced in the larynx during phonation produces this.
What is an even series of overtones?
Motor learning is greatly aided by describing these, rather than biomechanical processes.
What are outcomes?
