    Anatomical Observation Of Howler Monkeys

    Schön at the Department of Anatomy in The John Hopkins University School of Medicine was the first study that allowed for dissection of howler monkeys and the observation of the throat and organs in howler monkeys. While the study used anatomical observation and were not conducted in an experimental setting, the study allowed for an in depth explanation. The study used 15 different howler monkeys, comprised of two different species to examine the hyolaryngeal organs and the serial saggital sections of the organ. In the dissection of the monkeys, Schön discovered that howler monkeys had developed a pneumatic sphincter. This was the results of the pharyngolaryngeal sacs acting upon cartilages, and this allowed the monkeys to restrict their laryngeal vestibule and open their thyrohyoid canal. The chambers in the hyoid then can be used as a means of intensifying sounds. Following the complete dissection of the monkeys, Schön proposed that in order for howler monkeys to reach such amplification in their howls, pressure had to be built in a part of a vestibule. The pressure was able to be sustained by the narrowing of the walls in the chamber. When this occurred, a part of the thyrohyoid canal opened and the vibrating air columns entered the hyoidean air sac.(Schön, 1971) This proposed process along with the discovery of a pneumatic sphincter is what allows howler monkeys to emit such loud…

    Phonological Assessment

    The article, “Phonological Assessment: A Systematic Comparison of Conversation and Picture Naming” by Lesley Wolk and Andrew W. Meisler, compares to methods of speech elicitation. Both of these methods have positive and negative aspects. Assessing phonological treatment as citing is easy and effective. It allows the Speech Pathologist to have control with a set list of words. However, a main weakness is that a citing procedure may not be accurate. A clinician can overestimate a child’s abilities. This leaves an unnatural sample. An advantage of obtaining a sample through spontaneous conversation is that it allows a sample from the most natural situation. However, a sample from children who do not want to communicate, are shy, or have behavioral problems will affect results.…

    Vocal Filter Disorders

    The vocal folds are two bands of smooth muscle tissue located in the larynx (voice box). The larynx is located in the neck at the top of the trachea (windpipe). Vocal folds produce the sound of your voice by vibration and the air passing through the folds from the lungs. The sound the vocal folds produce is then sent through the throat, nose, and mouth, giving the sound "resonance." The sound of each individual voice is determined by the size and shape of the vocal cords and the size and shape of the throat, nose, and mouth (the resonating cavities).…

    Phonological Awareness Paper

    Phonological awareness is the ability to attend explicitly to the phonological structure of spoken words. Failure to develop an adequate vocabulary, understanding of print concepts, or phonological awareness during the early (preschool) years constitutes some risks for reading difficulties. Phonological awareness skills are believed to be predictive of a child’s ease in learning to read. More than 20 percent of student’s struggle with some aspects phonological awareness, while 8-10 percent exhibit significant delays (Adams et al. 2.). Phonemic awareness is the insight that every spoken word can be conceived as a sequence of phonemes. It is the understanding that spoken language can be analyzed into strings of separate words and that words can be analyzed in sequences of syllables and phonemes within syllables. Young children begin to notice sound similarities in the words they hear. People who can apart words into sounds, recognize their identity, and put…

    Phonological Working Memory Process

    The examination of central executive (CE) and storage/rehearsal processes to working memory (WM) deficits in adults with ADHD was the first to utilize a statistical procedure to determine the relationship these variables. Objective observation of adults completing phonological and visuospatial working memory tasks, which consist of ADHD-21 and HC-16 a total of thirty-seven. Although each adult group worked well throughout the phonological task versus the visuospatial task, which indicates adults who have ADHD posses’ notable deficits through these working memory modes. On another note, the twenty-one adults with ADHD remember out of proportion less phonological and visuospatial reaction requires growth. Overall, the central…
