Questions Set 1
what type of waves are sound waves
Longitudinal waves
what is speech perception
the process or hearing and understanding speech
how do our brains bypass background noise
by filtering it out and using multimodal perception
what is period
the duration of a wave
If a sound has a high frequency, will it have a high or low pitch
high pitch
What is the trough
the lowest part of a wave
Do sound waves travel parallel or perpendicular to their medium?
parallel
what is amplitude?
how much a sound wave changes in a single period
What is the crest
the highest part of a wave
if a wave has a low amplitude, will it have a loud or soft sound
soft sound
What is categorical perception
the categories our brain places sounds into to understand them better
How are complex sound waves produced
by our vocal cords vibrating at multiple sound waves
What do sound wave transfer though a medium
energy
What is a sound wave?
longitudinal waves created when you produce speech sounds
why don't speech sounds sound the same every time
speech sounds change based on context
what are the 3 challenges of speech perception
1.) speech sounds never sound the exact same
2.) background noise is [almost] always present
3.) Signal can be lost
Without our articulatory track, what type of sound wave would you produce
a simple sound wave
What do we have to convert sound waves into to be able to study them?
Waveforms
Draw a sound wave and label the parts (i can't add images cuz that costs money and i have none)
idc what your wave looks like, just make it correct
How do we bypass the 3 challenges of speech perception
1.) categorical perception
2.) multi-modal perception
3.) Our brains use context to fill in gaps where signal was lost
