USU COMD 5070 - Exam 2Speech Aerodynamics -mmnts of pressure, flow, resistance as related to speech prod -air pressure & air flow in resistance created by larynx change in dynamic fashion during speech Speech and Air Pressure -driving force of speech comes from lungs as produce air pressure there -as reduce size of lungs, increase pressure within them - air flow from high to low pressure region (atmos pressure), air flows along pressure gradient from inside to outside -When produce spe...

COMD 5070 Final Exam Study GuideWhat is Science? - correct answer 1. Empirical: Based on data 2. Deterministic: Obeys physical laws of cause and effect (not random) 3. Predictive: if you do this...then that will happen; it can influence another one 4. Parsimonious: use simplest explanation possible rather than make unnecessarily complicated - boil it down to its essence, without dumbing down. Semitones (how many semitones in one octave, two octaves, etc.) - correct answer Octave: change...
