1. A perturbation is a major
disturbance (or large change)
from the expected behavior.
True
False
2. There are many possible
sources of perturbation and fluctuation
in the voice. Some of them are
neurologic, biomechanical, aerodynamic
and/or acoustic.
True
False
3. A trillo is rapid repetition
(at 9 to 12 Hz) of the same note
with repeated voice onset and
offset.
True
False
4. Shimmer is long-term variability
in amplitude.
True
False
5. Vibrato involves both frequency
and amplitude modulation.
True
False
6. Normal vibrato rate is from
2-4 Hz.
True
False
7. The difference between trill
and vibrato is that the average
pitch is raised in vibrato, but
not in trill.
True
False
8. Vocal trillo can be produced
at a frequency greater than vocal
vibrato because the adductory
muscles are faster than the cricothyroid
and thyroarytenoid muscles.
True
False
9. A gradual change in the
behavior of a system over time
is called a "bifurcation".
True
False
