Description
Introduction to Speech Science is tailor-made for the undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology student. It provides a basic, student-friendly introduction to Speech and Hearing Science, alleviating frustration on the parts of both students and instructors who have been forced to use graduate-level texts in the past. The authors have many years of experience teaching undergraduate courses in Speech Science, and their book is written in simple, easy to understand language. It features extensive hints to students that reinforce concepts and assist "science-shy" students. At the end of each chapter, there are questions for students' review of the material. The book also includes recent references for further information, and a glossary of terms.
