| Summary |
The author describes and explains the basic scientific information that Speech and Language Pathologists must acquire in order to understand what the audiologist may convey to them in verbal or written reports. The specific science areas that will be covered include physics of sound or acoustics, functional anatomy/physiology of the peripheral and central parts of the auditory nervous system, and psychoacoustics. -- Part 1 |
