List the 5 developmental domains

Cognitive, communication, emotional, social, and physical

100

Define the domains and subdomains of communication

communication->speech->articulation, voice, and fluency

communication-> language-> expressive, and receptive

100

2. place differs

3. voice and place differs

4. place manner and voicing differs

100

describe acoustic functions of laryngeal and supralaryngeal segments, differentiate pathologies and effects of sound

laryngeal - F0 -> no larynx no base virbation 

supralaryngeal - Formants/ vocal tract form-> part of vocal tract gone - various outcomes for how it effects speech


200

S/E: familiar people, play pat-a-cake, look at you to see how to react, stop crying after 10m of being alone, pretend play, act/sing/dance for you.

200

Differentiate expressive and receptive language 

-> form: phonology, morphology, and syntax

-> content: semantics, pragmatics

List the passive forces of VP movement 

1. natural recoil forces

2. surface tension of structures in apposition

3. gravity

200

list and describe the dimensions of english vowels 

high/low, back/front, tense/lax (roundedness)

200

what is the difference between oscillogram, spectrum, spectrogram, F0, and F1/2

Oscillogram looks at time over amplitude/ spectrum looks at the frequency in Hz over amplitude at one point in time/ spectrogram looks at the same but over time as well, F0 is the source, formats are the filters 

300

4 reasons for learning about neurodevelopment 

1. because we can outline outcomes for atypical things

2. See where in development something happened given an impairment/lesion

3. monitor typical development and aging

4. understand why the brain is organized the way it is

300

Identify main expressive and receptive developmental norms for children birth-3m, 4m-6m, 7m-1y, 1y-2y

birth-3m: Receptive-> reacting to loud noise, calms to voices, recognizing familiar voices. Expressive-> cooing, cries for different reasons, smiles at you

4m-6m: Receptive-> tracking movement of sound with eyes, responds to tone change, knows toys that make sound, pays attention to music. Expressive-> sound when playing, laughs, sound for emotions, speech-like babble

7m-1y: Receptive-> turn for sound, look when you point, turns to name, plays games, understand words for common objects/people. Expressive-> canonical babbling, uses gestures to get attention and for bye/up, imitates speech sounds, first word around 1

1y-2y: Receptive-> answers simple questions, points to 3 body parts, points to pictures when asked, 1-step instructions, listens to simple stories. Expressive-> names pictures in books, lots of new words, 2-word combos, asks who what where 

300

what muscles close the VP 

palatal levator, uvulus, glossopalatine, pharyngopalatine + S/M/I pharyngeal constrictors 


300

What are the prelinguistic stages (flahive and hodson)

1. birth - 1m phonation stage 

2. 2m-3m - coo and goo stage 

3. 4m-6m - exploration and expansion stage 

4. 7m-9m - canonical babbling stage 

5. 10m-12m - variegated babbling stag e

300

Define the source filter modle

Source is the larynx (or artificial), filter is the vocal tract form, and output is the acoustic signal in form of any diagram.

400

What are the stages of neurodevelopment (name, age, define)

1. dorsal induction, 3-7 weeks, formation of the neural tube

2. ventral induction, 2-3 months, formation of different brain regions

3. neural proliferation, 3-4 months, growth of neurons and glial cells

4. neural migration, 3-5 months, moving of neurons to permanent/specialized locations

5. cortical organization & synapse formation, 5-after birth, synaptic connections and pruning

6. myelination, birth-years after, myeline added to axons of neurons

400

Define: morpheme, free morpheme, bound morpheme, MLU, phrase, clause, subordinate clause, lexicon

1. smallest unit of meaning

2. can stand alone

3. cant stand alone

4. mean length of utterance

5. utterance that does not contain subject and verb and does not stand alone

6. utterance with subject and predicate verb

7. embedded clause within a main clause

8. mental vocabulary

400

When is the VP port closed and open for speech

VP port stays closed during all sounds but nasals

400

List the 6 structures of laryngeal apparatus and describe the two joins and how they move

hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, arytenoid cartilage, corniculate cartilage. 

Cricothyroid - forward and down 

Cricoarytenoid - in and tilt 

500
Name one disorder associated with each stage of neurodevelopment

1. dorsal induction - spinal Bifida, improper closing of the tube

2. ventral induction - agenesis, no corpus collosum

3. neural proliferation, microcephaly, smooth brain 

4. neural migration - lissencephaly, part of the brain smooth

5. cortical organization & synapse formation - polymicrogyria, upside down gyry on inferior surface

6. myelination - hypomyelination, not enough myelin

500

Identify main form/content/use norms for 3y, 4y, and 5y

3F: stage 3 (31m-24m), irregular past tense, possessive s, uncontactable copula. stage 4 (25m-40m) articles, regular past tense, 3rd person regular, present tense. Variable 

3C: expressive-> vocal expands to include new word classes like temporal and spatial. Receptive-> understands abstract language like colors, shapes, and size, understand who what where and when and asks why questions

3U: Improved convo skills by staying on topics 50% of the time. more language in pretend play, beginning to lie and tease, tells narrative stories that are more complex and connected.

4F: Stage 5 (41m-46+m). 3rd person irregular, uncontactable auxiliary, contractable auxiliary, contractable copula. progress from elaborating noun and verb phrases to producing complex sentences 

4C: understand comparative and superlative adjectives (big, bigger, biggest) and time concepts. Understands and uses when and how questions at 4 expressive vocab is 1600 words

4U: uses words to invite others to play and to justify requests, follows 3-step instructions without cues, talks about imaginary conditions such as "I wish" and "I hope"

5: increase in figurative language, including jokes. Increase language development using explicit teaching in school from tests. Improved language-based conversation and reasoning skills.
