32
Q

A

-periodic series of clicks (pulses)

33
Q

What is the spectrum of a pulse train?

A

-line spectrum

34
Q

Exaplain the myoelastic & aerodynamic elements of the myoelastic aerodynamic theory?

A

-VF move apart because the pressure builds from lungs and trachea until the vocal folds are forced apart
VF recoil because of…
1. aerodynamic element: the bernoulli affect (which is when air is moving quickly between 2 objects, thus the pressure drops in that gap, so the objects are pulled inward to fill that gap)
2. myoelastic element: the elastic characteristics of the muscle pulls the vocal folds back together

35
Q

Why is the myoelastic aerodynamic theory not complete?

A

-Energy is lost in vocal fold vibration (in the form of acoustic energy and friction), so energy has to be pumped back in.
-It needs an asymmetry of an external force and an internal force to pump energy back into the system.

36
Q

What does Titze’s self-oscillation theory account for that the myoelastic theory does not?

A

Titze’s self-oscillation theory accounts for the energy loss that needs to be compensated for with an asymmetric force

37
Q

T/F:
Titze’s self-oscillation theory provides an external asymmetric force and internal asymmetric force.

A

True
external: airflow pressure (one mass model)
internal: vocal fold configuration (3 mass model)

38
Q

What is the asymmetrical external force of Titze’s self oscillation theory?
What is happening during the closing phase and opening phase?

A

airflow pressure (aka vocal tract inertance)
-opening phase pressure & air flow is high
-closing phase pressure & air flow is low

39
Q

Describe the steps of the one mass model of Titze’s theory of self oscillation

A

-as the VFs open, the air flow increases as the VF become wider
-the intraglottal pressure (pressure between VF) becomes high which continues to drives the VF apart
- as the air-mass moves up through the gap between the vocal folds, there isn’t new air coming from under it to fill the gap, thus there is a pressure drop in between the VFs
- this pressure drop sucks the VFs back together again

40
Q

What is the internal asymmetric force of Titze’s self oscillation theory?
What is happening during the closing phase and opening phase?

A

asymmetric tissue movement (ripple movement)
-opening (convergent phase)
-closed (divergent phase)

41
Q

Describe the steps of the three-mass model

A

-internal asymmetric force is due to the VF moving in a rippling manner
-this results in different glottic configurations (shape of VFs) in different parts of the cycle
-as VF opens they form a convergent shape with higher interglottal (between VF) pressure (between VF)
-as VF close they form a divergent shape with lower interglottal (between VF) pressure

42
Q

What are the two configurations explained by the three mass model?

A

-convergent
-divergent

43
Q

In the convergent configuration of the vocal folds, there is _____ inter glottal pressure

A

higher

44
Q

What is the glottal source signal?

A
  • not an acoustic signal coming from the glottis
45
Q

How is glottal source signal similar and different to square wave, sawtooth wave, and triangular wave?

A

-similar to sawtooth wave in the shape
-similar to sawtooth wave in that it has even & odd harmonics
-similar to triangle wave in that it is a -12dB drop per octave
-not similar to square wave

46
Q

In glottal source signal, a lower fundamental frequency makes the harmonic spacing ____ and a higher fundamental frequency makes the harmonic spacing _____

A

-closer
-further

A

-cycle-to-cycle variants in amplitude

52
Q

55
Q

Explain what HNR means

A

The proportion of someones voice that is made of harmonics (in comparison to the random partials)

56
Q

A person with vocal fold nodules, more air escapes during vibration of folds therefore there is more noise

A

low

57

A

-hoarseness
-breathiness
-roughness

What does it mean?

A

-maximum phonation time

60
Q

What is phonation threshold pressure? (PTP)

A

-minimal transglottal pressure needed for vocal fold vibration

61
Q

How does PTP vary across pitch change?

A
  • PTP increases as the frequency increases
62
Q

What is a phonetogram?
How is it related to the Voice Range Profile?

A

phonetogram and voice range profile are used interchangeably

A

breathy

66
Q
