Question 1

Match each description with its term :
-the overlapping of articulatory and acoustic patterns resulting from the articulators anticipating production of a speech sound or feature

Accepted Answer

Coarticulation is the term that describes the overlapping of articulatory and acoustic patterns in speech production, where the articulators prepare for upcoming sounds or features while still producing the current one.

Question 2

Match each description with its term :
-occurs when the response to a stimulus presented through one modality is augmented or modulated by another stimulus presented through a different modality

Accepted Answer

Crossmodal enhancement refers to the phenomenon where the perception or response to a stimulus presented in one sensory modality is enhanced or altered by the presence of another stimulus in a different sensory modality. This matches the description given.

Question 3

Match each description with its term :
-the region of the brain responsible for processing auditory information

Accepted Answer

The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for processing auditory information. It is located in the temporal lobe and is crucial for understanding sounds, language, and music.

Question 4

Match each description with its term :
-a technology used to study the activity of the brain

Accepted Answer

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a neuroimaging procedure that measures and maps the brain's activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled. When an area of the brain is in use, blood flow to that region also increases, allowing fMRI to capture images of the brain that show which areas are involved in particular mental processes.

Question 5

Match each description with its term :
-occurs when information from the auditory and the visual signal combine to form a unified percept

Accepted Answer

Audiovisual integration specifically refers to the process where information from both auditory and visual signals is combined to create a single, unified perception. This integration is crucial for various cognitive and perceptual tasks, such as understanding speech, where the visual component (lip movements) and the auditory component (sound) are integrated to enhance comprehension.

Question 6

Match each description with its term :
-the rate at which information is conducted and manipulated throughout the nervous system

Accepted Answer

Processing speed refers to the rate at which information is conducted and manipulated throughout the nervous system, encompassing how quickly an individual can understand and react to the information they receive.

Question 7

Match each description with its term :
-groups of speech sounds that appear identical on the lips

Accepted Answer

Visemes are groups of speech sounds that look the same when lip-reading, as they appear identical on the lips.

Question 8

Match each description with its term :
-responsible for temporarily storing visual information

Accepted Answer

Spatial working memory is responsible for temporarily storing visual (and spatial) information, allowing for the manipulation and management of visual inputs and spatial orientation.

Question 9

Match each description with its term :
-occurs when a ventriloquist induces the perception of speech as coming from a puppet's mouth by moving the puppet in synchrony with the sound

Accepted Answer

The ventriloquism illusion occurs when the brain integrates visual and auditory inputs in a way that the sound (speech) appears to be coming from a source other than its actual origin, such as a puppet's mouth, due to the puppet's synchronized movements with the sound.

Question 10

Match each description with its term :
-words that look identical on the mouth

Accepted Answer

Homophenes are words that look identical on the mouth, making them difficult to distinguish by lip-reading alone.

Question 11

Match each description with its term :
-includes being close enough to see the talker's lip movements and being able to see the talker full-face rather than in profile

Accepted Answer

Favorable seating refers to being positioned in a way that allows one to see the talker's lip movements and full face, which is important for effective communication, especially for those who rely on visual cues.

Question 12

Match each description with its term :
-words that occur frequently in everyday conversation

Accepted Answer

High frequency of usage words are those that occur often in daily language, fitting the description of words that are commonly used in everyday conversation.

Question 13

Match each description with its term :
-a way of speaking to enhance one's intelligibility? it entails speaking with a slowed rate and good but not exaggerated enunciation of words

Accepted Answer

Clear speech involves speaking more slowly and with better enunciation to improve intelligibility, without over-exaggerating words.

Question 14

Match each description with its term :
-words that occur infrequently in everyday conversation

Accepted Answer

Low frequency of usage accurately describes words that occur infrequently in everyday conversation.

Question 15

Match each description with its term :
-imitating or copying movements

Accepted Answer

Mimetic refers to the imitation or copying of movements, gestures, or actions.

Question 16

Match each description with its term :
-the intensity of light per unit area of the source

Accepted Answer

Luminance refers to the intensity of light emitted from a surface per unit area in a given direction, which matches the description provided.

Question 17

Match each description with its term :
-the lowest frequency of a complex waveform

Accepted Answer

The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency of a complex waveform, which is a basic concept in acoustics and sound analysis.

Question 18

Match each description with its term :
-relates to the perception of movement, position, and tension of body parts

Accepted Answer

Kinesthetic relates to the perception of movement, position, and tension of body parts, involving the sensory experience of the position and movement of muscles, tendons, and joints.

Question 19

Match each description with its term :
-groups of words that look alike on the face and have approximately the same frequency of occurrence

Accepted Answer

Visual lexical neighborhoods refer to groups of words that look alike visually and have similar frequencies of occurrence.

Question 20

Match each description with its term :
-computed by comparing a patient's speech recognition score in a vision-only condition to the score obtained in an audition-plus-vision condition

Accepted Answer

Speechreading enhancement is computed by comparing a patient's speech recognition score in a vision-only condition to the score obtained in an audition-plus-vision condition. This measures how much the visual component of speech (lip-reading, facial expressions) contributes to understanding speech when combined with hearing.
