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.NEW TO THIS EDITION:*Three new, up-to-date, 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 full-color, detailed images.*Ancillary materials available on a PluralPlus companion website including PowerPoint lecture slides, image bank, study guides, sound files, and more.

The ''Preclinical Speech Science Workbook, Third Edition'' is a natural companion to the ''Preclinical Speech Science, Third 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). Comprehensive answers are also included for each chapter.The third edition of the workbook reflects the changes found in the textbook and includes activities to correspond with the three new textbook chapters on Auditory Anatomy and Physiology, Auditory Psychophysics, and Speech Physiology Measurement and Analysis, as well as revised content throughout the existing chapters.The activities in ''Preclinical Speech Science Workbook, Third Edition'' will help students begin to make the transition from traditional classroom and textbook learners to active participants in their development toward becoming speech-language pathologists and audiologists.

This accessible and richly illustrated textbook covers the anatomy and physiology of speaking, hearing, and swallowing. Designed primarily for undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers in speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech and hearing sciences, it is written with clinical endpoints in mind and is neither oversimplified nor excessively detailed. The topics covered-including speaking and its subsystems (respiratory, laryngeal, velopharyngeal-nasal, and pharyngeal-oral), hearing and its subsystems (outer, middle, and inner ears), swallowing, and the nervous system-are those that are ultimately relevant to understanding, evaluating, and managing clients with communication and swallowing disorders.New to the Third EditionNew coauthor, Rosemary A. Lester-Smith, PhD, CCC-SLP, with substantial knowledge and experience in basic science, clinical application, and classroom teaching 100+ new or updated illustrations Descriptions of selected instrumentation and measurements commonly used in clinical settingsClinical case scenarios with embedded self-test questions to reinforce knowledge and gain insight into real-life applications Extensively revised text to enhance clarity and provide support for beginning students Updated material based on recent literatureNew and updated online resources (videos, PowerPoint slides, lab activities, study guides, knowledge checks, and test bank) Key FeaturesNumerous beautiful, full-color illustrations Complex information presented clearly and concisely, in an easy-to-understand mannerMore than 25 videos that demonstrate key concepts in the text, nearly all of which were created specifically for this book Clinical applications are woven throughout the textClinical cases that highlight the relevance of anatomy and physiology to the clinical practices of speech-language pathology and audiology"Sidetracks" offer informal and engaging ways to help students connect content to everyday experiencesA robust offering of online resources for both instructors and students PluralPlus Online AncillariesFor instructors: Instructor Overview, PowerPoint Slides, Videos, Lab Activities, Test BanksFor students: Videos, Study Guides, Knowledge Checks

Designed to work in conjunction with graduate textbooks in motor speech disorders, this collection showcases the state of the art in motor speech disorders. Leading names in the field review the history, current practice and future trends, neural models, acoustics and measurement, speech technology, and treatment approaches. Chapters are carefully constructed and include key points, summaries, references, and supplemental reading.
