Exam 10: Speaking and Singing

The analysis of speech errors has led to the notion that speech production involves several functional levels. Which of the following is not considered to be one of those levels?

Gently tugging on facial muscles involved with production of the word "had" biases the person whose facial muscles are tugged to

Three major types of language dysfunction accompany brain damage. The dysfunctions and their defining features are correctly matched up in which of the following? -- aphasia a language planning deficit, apraxia a phoneme sequencing deficit, and dysarthria a motor execution deficit.

The difference between the sound of "v" and "f" is attributable to

The textbook described a parallel distributed processing system, developed by Jordan, to explain coarticulation. This connectionist system relies on

Up-down and front-back are important dimensions in speech control because they usefully describe

When speech speeds up

Evidence has been obtained for the hypothesis that speech production is geared to achieve relative positions of the articulators to achieve appropriate acoustic results. Which of the following constitutes such evidence?

Speech spectrograms, which make speech "visible,"

Which of these statements is true?

Achievement of desired relative positions of the articulators can be achieved with a system that is metaphorically described by a pulley with weights on either side, corresponding, say, to the upper and lower lip. What this metaphor is referring to is a neural network that relies on

Which of these structures is above the larynx in the human body?

Word games such as speaking Pig Latin and "talking backwards" are important for understanding speech production because these activities

Research on bird brains has shown that, at least for different types of birds,

Which of the following is not one of the three subsystems of the vocal tract?

Contrary to what would be expected if speech perception were complete "disembodied,"

Speed production is affected by feedback, as shown by which of the following results?

Imagine that painless electrodes could be attached to a person's throat and the electrodes picked up subvocal electromyographic activity that was directly related to the speech the person herad. This outcome would provide strong support for

Which finding inspires the belief that inhalation is affected by planning?

Whereas phonemes convey meaning and phones may convey meaning but don't have to,
