Applied Speech Science for Voice & Resonance Disorders, Model 5156

The Applied Speech Science for Voice & Resonance Disorders program (Model 5156) is one of a set of programs from Professor Byoung W. Kim (speech scientist) and John Grozik (media technology specialist) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. These interactive programs provide a rich, audio-visual environment for learning and experimenting with basic phonetic/speech science principles. They are designed as pedagogical tools for the classroom, and for individual tutorial learning in the field of speech/voice science. The Applied Speech Science for Voice & Resonance Disorders program illustrates, in an interactive format (with animations), the physiology, kinesthesia, aerodynamics, and acoustics of voice and resonance disorders. The other programs in this set from Dr. Kim and John Grozik are:

These programs can be purchased separately or as options for Multi-Speech or CSL.

Applications

This program is designed as supplementary courseware for teaching and learning basic phonetic/speech science principles, concepts, and processes in experimental phonetics and speech science courses.

Students can be given assignments to explore various portions of the program’s modules to reinforce concepts discussed in class. If a data projector is available, the teacher can use the programs to clearly show phonetic/speech science concepts, principles, and processes to the class.

In a clinical environment, these programs provide quick access to speech anatomy, physiology, and speech science principles, and will serve as a handy reference. They are ideal complements to the many other programs available from Kay for pedagogical applications.

Summary

By offering a wide range of targeted optional programs, Kay’s CSL and Multi-Speech product lines are ideal for educational, clinical, or research applications. Applied Speech Science for Voice & Resonance Disorders, Model 5156, presents a powerful and easy-to-use environment in which students can learn the underlying principles of speech science. With its interactive models, difficult concepts “come to life.”

As illustrated in a sample of screens from the program, key aspects of voice and resonance are covered.
