Speech Science Views and News (WEBS192198)
This activity presents a diverse perspective, including four different speech science articles focused on a variety of topics. Kimball and Sayce discuss the pros and cons of research using behavior and functional assessment and treatment in the areas of speech science and voice, specifically their limitation in outlining etiology or explaining treatment resistance. They also provide an overview of genetic research approaches as a possible path forward to develop additional evidence-based treatment approaches.
Learning
Outcomes
You
will be able to:
- describe the pros and cons of behavior and functional assessment and treatment in the areas of speech science and voice
- describe at least one articulatory, phonatory, or prosodic characteristic of speech associated with gender, sexual orientation, age, accent, dialect, race, and ethnicity
- discuss the rationale for incorporating a computer-based adaptive complexity hierarchy in treatment for residual rhotic errors
- compare tasks that measure tactile versus proprioceptive aspects of oral somatosensory acuity
