| Description: |
Students will 1) describe basic anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, 2) identify physical attributes of simple sounds, including pitch and loudness variation, and complex sounds, especially speech, and 3) use instrumentation to assess characteristics of speech and other sounds. (Learning Goals:Q) |
| Learning Goals: |
● Students will identify and describe the anatomical components of the auditory system.● Students will describe processes of auditory physiology including movement of the basilar membrane and the function of the hair cells.● Students will relate loudness and pitch percepts to differences in the acoustic signal and solve quantitative problems relating to decibels and frequency.● Students will differentiate between simple and complex sounds, and state how spectral analysis is used in the analysis of complex sounds.● Students will use instrumentation to assess characteristics of speech and other sounds, and carry out measurements of speech sounds including fundamental frequency, vowel formants, and consonant acoustics. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here. |
