The three main professions that are covered in CSD 201.
What are speech-language pathology, audiology, and education of the deaf and hard of hearing?
100
Articulation, fluency, and voice are the features that make up this process of producing the acoustic representations of language.
What is speech?
100
This dome-shaped principle muscle of respiration, indicated in red here:
What is the diaphragm?
100
Using a word such as "pop" instead of "soda" is not indicative of a language disorder. Instead it would be considered a feature reflecting this.
What is dialect (or difference)?
100
The most common cause of aphasia is this.
What is a stroke?
200
The national organization whose mission it is to empower and support speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and speech/language/hearing scientists.
What is the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association?
200
This branch of language concerned with form consists of phonology, syntax, and this.
What is morphology?
200
The rapid adduction and abduction of these ivory-colored bands of tissue within the larynx is responsible for phonation.
What are the vocal folds?
200
Unlike disorders associated with language impairment, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, intellectual disability, Specific Language Impairment, and neglect/abuse, stuttering - a fluency disorder - is better characterized as an impairment of this.
What is speech?
200
This pathological condition or syndrome is characterized by progressive declining of memory and at least one other cognitive ability, to an extent significant enough to interfere with daily life activities.
What is dementia?
300
Aside from assessing and treating the disorder usually associated with these professionals, other roles include working with individuals who have disorders of balance, individuals who have auditory processing disorders, and hearing aid companies.
What are audiologists?
300
Constantly interrupting the conversation partner is an example of impaired skills in this branch of language.
What is pragmatics (or language use)?
300
This structure elevates to separate the nasal cavity from the pharyngeal and oral cavities during speech production of oral (not nasal) sounds.
What is the velum?
300
Persistent problems in social communication and interaction across different contexts, with problems seen in social-emotional reciprocity, nonverbal communicative and social interaction behaviors, and developing/maintaining relationships appropriate for maturity level, are diagnostic features of this disorder.
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
300
The adult language impairments that we have covered in this class, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), are considered this, rather than developmental.
What is acquired?
400
A combination of clinical experience, client needs, and evidence from research underlies this essential part of effective and ethical intervention, which is abbreviated "EBP."
What is evidence-based practice?
400
This study of the effect of physical distance between people on communication reflects the relationships, ages, and cultures of the communication partners.
What is proxemics?
400
This jutting protrusion, very prominent in some males and known as the "Adam's apple," is the largest of the laryngeal cartilages.
What is the thyroid cartilage?
400
Morphology and syntax, two components of language form, can be described by calculating this - the average number of morphemes per utterance.
What is mean length of utterance (MLU)?
400
When an individual with aphasia has difficulty with saying words and with formation of connected speech (an impairment with production), they may be said to have this kind of aphasia.
What is nonfluent aphasia (or example: Broca's aphasia)?
500
In the United States, the current qualifications required to practice as a speech-language pathologist are 1) professional education culminating in a minimum of a master's degree, 2) certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and 3) state licensure. To practice as an audiologist, you must have this variation on one of the SLP qualifications.
What is education culminating in a minimum of a doctoral degree?
500
Language is dynamic, socially shared, systematically rule-governed, arbitrary, and this, which means that a speaker can create a unique utterance that has never previously been produced.
What is generative?
500
Resting tidal breathing involves relatively equal durations of inspiration and expiration within one respiratory cycle. This alternative type of breathing involves rapid, forceful inspirations and active muscle contraction of both the inspiratory and expiratory muscles during expiration, increasing expiration's duration relative to that of inspiration within one respiratory cycle.
What is breathing for speech (speech breathing)?
500
Impairment in this area of language may result in a small vocabulary or misunderstanding figurative language.
What is semantics (language content)?
500
Individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly have impairments in this branch of language, frequently manifesting through inattention, impulsivity, and difficulty with conversation skills.
What is pragmatics (or language use)?
