empirical, deterministic, predictive, parsimonious CORRECT ANSWERS the scientific
method is _______, ________, ________, and ________
empirical CORRECT ANSWERS science is ________: based on data- we collect data
and then interpret it; we have to make sense of the behavior that we're trying to
understand
deterministic CORRECT ANSWERS science is __________: things obey physical laws;
not random in terms of cause and effect, and can draw generalizations from data that
we can extend on to other situations we have not yet experienced
predictive CORRECT ANSWERS science is ________: if a given phenomenon occurs,
it can influence another one; represents cause and effect relationships
parsimonious CORRECT ANSWERS science is _________: uses the simplest
explanation versus making it unnecessarily convoluted

-track ________ _______ _______
-ASHA's focus on ___________
-provide ___________ to the client
acoustics CORRECT ANSWERS ____________ can help by telling us how the larynx
is operating or how articulators are moving; measures speech production through
microphone readings
kinematics CORRECT ANSWERS ______ is the study of speech movements
aerodynamics CORRECT ANSWERS __________ describes the pressures and flows
and resistances involved in regulating our breath stream as we speak
electromyography CORRECT ANSWERS __________ is the measure of electrical
activity in muscles as they are activated
speech perception CORRECT ANSWERS ________ __________ is how the brain
interprets sounds
, complex tone CORRECT ANSWERS a _________ ________ involves multiple sine
waves together, blended, with the fundamental frequency as the lowest frequency
component
pitch CORRECT ANSWERS _________ is the subjective perception of frequency
-it cannot be measured with instruments
-listener matches perceived pitch to that of a pure tone of known frequency
difference limen, more, larger CORRECT ANSWERS the frequency _______
___________ is the smallest detectable change in frequency that is detectable by a
listener
-higher frequency sounds must differ ________ to be heard as different in pitch
-true for comfortable listening level
-as intensity decreases, DLs become ____________
fundamental frequency CORRECT ANSWERS the _________ __________ tends to be
the loudest sounding in a complex series of sounds (e.g. harmonics)
harmonics CORRECT ANSWERS __________ are periodic, integer multiples of the
fundamental frequency
residue pitch CORRECT ANSWERS another name for the missing fundamental
phenomenon is __________ __________
timbre/quality, pitch, harmonic structure, calculation, simulated bass CORRECT
ANSWERS missing fundamental:
-_______/________ is different
-_________ is still perceived as the same
-brain processes the ________ ________, by filling in the gaps through __________

________
octave, 800, 200 CORRECT ANSWERS an _________ is the doubling or halving of a
frequency
e.g. if you have a 400 Hz base and you went up an octave, you would reach _______
Hz, and if you went down an octave you would reach _______ Hz
12, nonlinear, bigger CORRECT ANSWERS there are _______ semitones in 1 octave
-each semitone is a _________ step- each step upward is _______ than the last (about
5.9%)
-no semitones are physically identical in Hz, but they SOUND equal in step size,
because our human perception of sound is nonlinear
intensity, IL, SPL CORRECT ANSWERS ___________ is the amplitude or 'size' of a
sound
