Chapters 1-5 Introduction to
Communication Sciences & Disorders
Exam 1
Allophone - correct answer-variations in speech sounds that occur from production to
production
Alphabetic Principle - correct answer-understanding that phonemes have an associated
grapheme
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) - correct answer-A professional
organization representing and credentialing SLP's Audiologists, and speech-language and
hearing scientists.
Apraxia of speech - correct answer-speech programming associated with brain damage to
the frontal lobe
Articulation is associated with.....? - correct answer-Movement
Articulators - correct answer-structures that change the shape and length of the vocal tract
Audiologists - correct answer-* Trained in the non-medical treatment of hearing, balance,
and other related problems
* To become an audiologists you must obtain a clinical doctorate in Audiology.
* Audiologists must pass a national exam to be awarded the Certificate of Clinical
Competence (CCC)
Boyle's Law - correct answer-As volume increases, pressure decreases or as pressure
increases, volume decreases
Brainstem - correct answer-vital functions such as breathing and heart rate are controlled in
the mid brain.
Canonical/ reduplicated babbling - correct answer-*7-10 months
* combining and repeating sounds
Central Nervous System - correct answer-A system for receiving sensory information,
integrating these signals with thoughts and memories, and organizing these thoughts to
complete an action.
Cerebrum - correct answer-involved with motor coordination, balance, and movement
Chapter 1 Summary - correct answer-* Communication involves speaking, writing, reading,
facial expression, gestures, and touch
, * A communication disorder is a breakdown in formulating, transmitting, receiving, and
comprehending speech and language.
* Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists are professionals trained to work with
individuals who exhibit communicative disorders.
Chapter 2 Summary - correct answer-*Central nervous system is made up of the brain and
spinal cord
* The brain is separated into the frontal lobe (motor), parietal lobe (sensory), temporal lobe
(auditory), Occipital lobe (visual)
Chapter 3 Summary - correct answer-* Language is a set of symbols that convey meaning
* Speech is our ability to relate that meaning
* Speech sound errors include: Substitutions, Omissions, Distortions, and Additions
*Phonological disorders include syllable structure processes and substitution processes
(simplification)
*Therapy approaches include traditional approaches and linguistic based therapy
Chapter 4 Summary - correct answer-*Three modes of communication include gestures, oral
language, and written language
*Language consists of phonology, pragmatics, semantics, syntax, and morphology
Classifications of Speech sounds - correct answer-A). Place of production- where sound is
produced in vocal tract
B). Manner of production- type of construction and how breath stream is managed
C). Voice- sounds made with or without the use of use of vocal folds
Cleft lip and Palate - correct answer-the structures fail to develop during the first trimester of
embryological development
Complex sentences - correct answer-using imbedded phrases
Components of language - correct answer-A). Phonology- rules associated with sound
combinations within a language
B). Pragmatics- function or use of language in appropriate contexts
C). Semantics- understanding and producing words
D). Syntax- rules governing order and word classes
E). Morphology-smallest unit of meaning within a language
Compound sentences - correct answer-using conjunctions
Derivational morphology - correct answer-consists of prefixes and suffixes that are added to
words to change the meaning of the words or the category
Diaphragm - correct answer-dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the thorax that when
contracted, initiates the process of breathing
Discourse - correct answer-everything blended together
*requires the integration of all language domains (form, content, use)
