100
This atypical tissue formation is easily visualized with the naked eye when one looks into the patient's throat and asks them to say "ahh".
What is a bifid uvula?
100
Characterized by involuntary repetitions of sounds and syllables, sound prolongations, and broken words
What is stuttering?
100
About 1 in every 750 live births.
What is the incidence of clefts?
100
This states that overly concerned parents are the cause of stuttering, by overreacting to normal speech. Speech becomes stressful for the child, leading to stuttering
What is diagnosogenic theory?
100
This is associated with academic struggle, and is less common than stuttering.
What is cluttering?
200
This type of evaluation measures frequency, intensity, and resonance characteristics of a voice.
What is acoustic assessment?
200
This neurogenic speech disorder causes dysfunction in speech planning, coordination of muscles, and problems in timing and execution of speech.
What is apraxia?
200
This type of motor speech problem is non-progressive, and is shown by increased muscle tone.
What is spastic cerebral palsy?
200
Neither side of the brain is dominant in controlling motor movements for speech.
What is cerebral dominance theory of stuttering?
200
This specific type of craniofacial defect occurs more commonly in females.
What is cleft palate?
300
This form of assessment measures airflow, air pressure, and vocal fold resistance.
What is aerodynamic assessment?
300
Vocal pitch and pitch-changing mechanisms, vocal loudness and loudness-changing mechanisms, quality deviations
What are three chief characteristics of voice disorders?
300
Hypernasality, Nasal emission, weak or omitted consonants, short utterance length, compensatory articulation productions, hyponasality all can occur with this specific defect in the oral cavity.
What is velopharyngeal incompetence (or velopharyngeal dysfunction)?
300
This part of the theory name stands for speech planning.
What is the PLAN part of the EXPLAN model?
300
Toxins, infections, anoxia, and cerebral hemorrhage
What are the most common causes of apraxia?
400
These four vocal disorders are distinctive in that they are considered "non-phonatory" disorders.
What are stridor, excessive throat clearing, consistent aphonia or episodic aphonia?
400
One of two types of vocal behavior that can produce a voice disorder, usually considered to be more damaging.
What is vocal abuse?
400
A talker with this less common type of fluency disorder does not demonstrate secondary characteristics and may have problem with functor, not content, words.
What is neurological stuttering?
400
This points to evidence that stuttering behavior tends to be concentrated in families.
What is genetic theory?
400
When this speech disorder occurs, over time the talker will often demonstrate problems with content words, initial syllables and display secondary characteristics.
What is developmental stuttering?
500
This resonance disorder occurs when there is insufficient airflow through the nasal cavity.
What is hyponasality?
500
Of two types of voice disorder, this less common type is seen when the vocal folds stay apart, causing less phonation.
What is abductor spasmodic dysphonia?
500
Two maxillary swellings, two mandibular swellings and the frontonasal prominence.
What are the five primordia (origins) of the human face and mouth during embryologic development?
500
The idea that there are critical timing differences during embryologic development based on gender.
What may account for higher incidence of cleft palate for girls and cleft lip and palate for boys?
500
This motor speech problem is common with Parkinson's disease, characterized by monotony, impaired respiratory support, and reduced vocal intensity.
What is hypokinetic dysarthria?
