context who had a stutter, would the spectrogram reveal a longer or shorter stop
duration?
True - ✅✅ T/F: a spectrogram of a stop consonant from a person with dysarthria

Tracheal puncture - ✅✅ in a ________ ________, a physician creates a hole in
the trachea (below the larynx) & puts a mini pressure transducer into it to measure
the pressure
-provides direct & accurate measures during speech, but it is invasive and hard to
attract volunteers
Esophageal balloon - ✅✅ because the esophagus shares its anterior wall with the
posterior wall of the trachea, past researchers have indirectly measured Psub using
