Fundamental and formant frequencies of vowels in ventriloquial and normal speech
Get PDFThis study explored the fundamental frequency and the first and second formant frequencies of vowels produced in ventriloquial and normal speech. It tested whether these frequencies differ by speech type and vowels. Voice recordings were collected from a participant who produced words containing ten target English vowels in normal and ventriloquial speech. Digitized recordings were analyzed to determine formant frequencies. A multivariate analysis detected statistically significant differences in the three frequency measures across speech type. Speech type by frequency interaction was examined via overlapping vowel quadrilateral plots that explored differences in formants of vowels across speech type and the vowel space. The exploratory findings suggest differences in formant frequencies for some vowels by speech type, particularly that vowels are centralized in ventriloquial speech. Clinical intervention implications for individuals with head and neck cancers and trismus are discussed
Cannabidiol: Anxiety Relief or Fool’s Gold?
Get PDFAnxiety disorders affect millions of Americans each year and the interest in alternative therapies is growing. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the efficacy of cannabidiol (CBD) as a therapeutic intervention for anxiety in adults and adolescents. In this review, three databases including PubMed, PsychInfo, and EMBASE were searched using key terms. Out of 775 articles initially identified, 11 met the inclusion criteria, focusing exclusively on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating CBD\u27s effects compared to placebo in human subjects. Trials prior to 2011 were excluded, along with subjects who had psychiatric comorbidities or adjunctive therapies, were less than 18 years of age, were current cannabis or other drug users. The included studies incorporated diverse methodologies, including public speaking tests, neuroimaging, emotional processing tasks, and physiological measures like cortisol levels, blood pressure and heart rate variability. Findings indicate mixed efficacy of CBD. While some trials report significant anxiolytic effects, particularly at moderate dosages (300 mg), others show negligible or inconsistent results, highlighting potential dose-response variability and bioavailability challenges. Evidence suggests stronger effects observed in social anxiety disorders compared to generalized anxiety or trauma-related stress. Limitations across studies, including small sample sizes, variable dosing regimens, and lack of standardized outcome measures, prevent definitive conclusions. This review emphasizes the need for further investigation into optimal dosing, long-term effects, and comparative efficacy against established treatments. While CBD shows promise as an alternative or adjunctive therapy for social anxiety disorders, further research is required to determine CBD’s position in the therapeutic landscape for anxiety disorders
