Description
Revised and updated in this second edition, this text is an excellent introductory guide to instrumentation for students of speech pathology and audiology. Anticipating that new students may be overwhelmed by the array and configuration of instruments on their first trip to the clinic or laboratory, "Instrumentation" describes the basic equipment students need to master, how it works, and how it is used with other equipment. The result is a clear, practical guide to the function of commonly used instruments -- one that will raise the confidence of students immeasurably. Special features of the volume include: * introductory writing style and explanations for students who have limited science backgrounds; * clear and abundant diagrams, figures, examples, tables, and definitions; * a list of key terms in each chapter; * laboratory exercises with accompanying equipment set-up flow charts; * a lengthy glossary of terms; and * suggestions for further readings.
