Lab assignment 1

Lab Assignment on Instruments/Procedures

 Describe each assessment instrument, procedure.  State the diagnostic information which can be obtained from each.  Locate a picture of the instrument.  State the implications for abnormal findings in relation to speech.

  1. Electroglottograph or laryngograph
  2. Spirometer
  3. Manometer
  4. Pneumotachograph
  5. Plethysmograph
  6. Magnetometer
  7. CSL
  8. Nasometer
  9. Electromyography
  10. Pressure transducers
  11. Fiberoptic Endoscope
  12. Photoglottography or transillumination
  13. Stroboscope
  14. Laryngoscope
  15. Palatography
  16. Inverse filtering
Lab 2
For each assignment provide a hard copy of the the statistical data.
1. Using Real Time Pitch: find the diadochokenetic rate protocol.  Count the number of /pa/ syllables you can do in one minute.
2. Using Real Time Pitch: do the monotone evaluation on yourself.
3. Motor Speech Profile:  Do all the protocols on yourself.
4. On the CSL: record the vowel triangle and find the formants for each vowel and for the schwa vowel.  Compare the formant frequencies for each vowel.
5. On the CSL: record ‘My Grandfather”.  Provide the voicing statistics on yourself.

Lab 3
From the Kay Lab pull up EGTO3.
1. Using the Motor Speech Profile, copy EGTO3’s “ah”.  Do the voice and tremor analysis on her.  Provide her statistics.
2. Using the CSL create a spectrogram of her “ah”.
3. Using the CSL copy EGT03’s rainbow passage.  Find her voicing statistics. Discuss your findings in terms of the norms. Describe her voice in terms of syllable rate and intonational pattern (perceptual).
4 .  Using MDVP  and "ah" find the stats on her. 
5.  How would you describe Ms EGTO3's speech and voice in a report.  In other words, interpret your findings above based on your acoustical analysis. 

Lab 4
In Lab 2, you performed diadochokinetic rates on youreslf.  What would the diadochokinetic rates look like for each of the disarthrias?  On what do you base your answer (What is your source and what does it say?)
