Name Van de Merwe's 6 boxes of frameworks for speech control 

Intention, Content Influence, Linguistic Planning, Motor Planning, Motor Programming, Execution

100

Intention 

Context Influence

Reduce Drive 

rate, mode, familiarity, sensitivity, increased complexity, environment


100

Subsytem examination pros and cons

PRO: able to see which areas are disordered even when respiratory system is intact 

CON: doesn't tell us how the system functions as a whole 

100

Non-speech tasks 

oral mech 

cranial nerve assessment 

maximum performance tasks 

100

techniques w/o interprofessional collab 

drugs 

surgery 

prosthetics 

neural implants

200

3 neural structures demonstrating lack of an exclusive association between VdM's levels and CNS 

Broca's Area, Basal Ganglia, Sensory Motor Area (SMA)

200

linguistic planning 

paraphasias 

200

dysarthrias (new and old) 

hypokinetic (parkinsons- basal ganglia) 

hyperkinetic (chorea, dystonia) 

spastic (upper motor neuron) 

mixed (cerebellar W/ lateral cerebellum) 

flaccid (LMN) 

ataxic (cerebellar w/o lateral cerebellum)

200
types of simplified speech tasks 

maximum phonation time

fundamental frequency range 

sound pressure range 

oral DDK 

200

name compensatory strategies 

postural support for respiratoin

adaptive prosthetics for resonance 

rate and phrasing modification 

AAC

300

Breakdown's at each level + their disorders 

Intention - TBI

Linguistic Planning - Aphasia 

Motor Planning - Apraxia

Motor Programming - Dysarthria, Neuro Stuttering

Execution - Dysarthria 

300

motor planning 

slow rate, groping, context sensitivity, inconsistent distortions, substitutions 

300

neurogenic stuttering signs 

excessive levels of normal disfluencies, interruptions, cessation of speech, pauses, extraneous mvmt

300

Variant forms of DDK 

alternating 

sequential 

word level variants

300

what are manipulations of acoustic input that affect speech 

delayed auditory feedback 

pitch/format pertubation 

phonetic convergence

post-lingual hearing loss 

400

Consequences of lack of exclusive associations 

co-occuring disorders are more likely than pure singular ones; disorders at one area can lead to breakdowns in another area

signs and symptoms of disorders can be the result of an interplay between different structures rather than one area


400

motor programming

rate differences, slow rate, consistent distortions, less context sensitivity 

400

signs of apraxia 

groping, highly inconsistent artic errors. inability to increase rate + phonemic integrity while maintaining correct phonemes. speech sound errors w/ preserved linguistic features 

400

formulation tasks 

confrontation naming 

picture description

story retell

question - response

400

explain the auditory feedback loop 

auditory state map and auditory target map are compared to monitor speech production. if an error is detected, auditory state map excites auditory error map cells. auditory error map sends signals to the feedback control map to make motor adjustments to correct detected errors.

500

Name associated neural structures 

tempo-parieral lobe, broca's area, wenicke's area, prefrontal cortex, SMA, basal ganglia, lateral cerebellum, thalamus, motor cortex, brainstem, fronto-limbic area

500

execution

articulation distortions, resonance differences, articulatory insufficiency, vocal quality, respiration/prosody, pitch, loudness

500

differences from developmental stuttering (neuro)

onset is post neuro event; may occur at any point in production of rather than at beginning. occurs in any word class. can occur during any speech task (ie; singing) 

500

four areas of communication for assessment 

intelligibility

quality 

prosody 

fluency 


500

behavior goals targeted by feedback system (DIVA model) 

tactile 

proprioceptive

speech articulators
