Preclinical Speech Science Anatomy Physiology Acoustics and Perception Third Edition is a highquality text for undergraduate and graduate courses in speech and hearing science Written in a userfriendly style by distinguished scientistsclinicians who have taught the course to thousands of students at premier academic programs it is the text of choice for instructors and students Additionally it is applicable to a broad range of courses that cover the anatomy and physiology of speech production speech acoustics and swallowing as well as those that cover the hearing mechanism psychoacoustics and speech perception The material in this book is designed to help future speech language pathologists and audiologists to understand the science that underpins their work and provide a framework for the evaluation and management of their future clients It provides all the information students need to be fully ready for their clinical practicum training KEY FEATURES Describes scientific principles explicitly and in translational terms that emphasize their relevance to clinical practice Features beautiful original fullcolor illustrations designed to be instructive learning tools Incorporates analogies that aid thinking about processes from different perspectives Features sidetracks that contain clinical insights and relate interesting historical and contemporary facts to the discipline of speech and hearing science Provides a framework for conceptualizing the uses subsystems and levels of observation of speech production hearing and swallowing Includes material that is ideal for preparing both undergraduates and graduates for clinical study NEW TO THIS EDITION Three new uptodate and comprehensive chapters on Auditory Anatomy and Physiology Auditory Psychophysics and Speech Physiology Measurement and Analysis All chapters fully revised including updated references and new fullcolor detailed images A. Relating features of hearing to the perception of speech. The bottom line. The auditory system encodes the properties of sound that are essential to recognizing speech, but it’s a lot more complicated than that.. Providing a comprehensive view of speech science for beginning speech majors, this text gives a thorough yet understandable look at the production, acoustics and perception of speech. It treats basic areas of speech science, such as basic speech acoustics, instrumentation and speech perception with regard to theories and practical applications. This textbook has been carefully designed to provide a thorough introduction to the study of speech. It assumes no technical background, and students from a wide variety of disciplines contributing to this new and exciting field will find the exposition fully accessible. Each chapter progresses from simple examples to more detailed discussions of recent primary research and concludes with stimulating problem sets. All topics essential for a basic understanding of the field are included: the physiological, biological, and neurological bases of speech the physics of sound the source-filter theory of speech production and the underlying principles of electrical and computer models of speech production. The Preclinical Speech Science Workbook, Second Edition is a natural companion to the Preclinical Speech Science, Second Edition textbook, designed to help students integrate, apply, and go beyond the material presented in the textbook. The workbook contains a variety of activities, including anatomical labeling, measurement of physiologic and acoustic data, interpretation of graphs, and the conduct of simple experiments (without the need for special equipment). Additionally, this companion text contains modified versions of artwork from the textbook, as well as new artwork created by Maury Aaseng. Instructors will find that the activities in Preclinical Speech Science Workbook, Second Edition will help students begin to make the transition from passive learners to active participants in their development toward becoming speech-language pathologists. Book by Thoma J. Hixon, Gary Weismer, Jeannette D. Hoit Written in a clear, reader-friendly style, Speech Science Primer serves as an introduction to speech science and covers basic information on acoustics, the acoustic analysis of speech, speech anatomy and physiology, and speech perception. It also includes topics such as research methodology, speech motor control, and history/evolution of speech science. With its reader-friendly content and valuable online resources, Speech Science Primer: Physiology, Acoustics, and Perception of Speech, Sixth Edition is an ideal text for beginning speech pathology and audiology students and faculty.

Book by Thoma J. Hixon, Gary Weismer, Jeannette D. Hoit Preclinical Speech Science: Anatomy, Physiology, Acoustics, and Perception, Third Edition is a high-quality text for undergraduate and graduate courses in speech and hearing science. Written in a user-friendly style by distinguished scientists/clinicians who have taught the course to thousands of students at premier academic programs, it is the text of choice for instructors and students. Additionally, it is applicable to a broad range of courses that cover the anatomy and physiology of speech production, speech acoustics, and swallowing as well as those that cover the hearing mechanism, psychoacoustics, and speech perception. The material in this book is designed to help future speech- language pathologists and audiologists to understand the science that underpins their work and provide a framework for the evaluation and management of their future clients. It provides all the information students need to be fully ready for their clinical practicum training. KEY FEATURES: Describes scientific principles explicitly and in translational terms that emphasize their relevance to clinical practice. Features beautiful original, full-color illustrations designed to be instructive learning tools. Incorporates analogies that aid thinking about processes from different perspectives. Features sidetracks that contain clinical insights and relate interesting historical and contemporary facts to the discipline of speech and hearing science. Provides a framework for conceptualizing the uses, subsystems, and levels of observation of speech production, hearing, and swallowing. Includes material that is ideal for preparing both undergraduates and graduates for clinical study.
