Mysak's or Anybody's Model of Speech & Language.
The Receptor Unit of Mysak's Model are the Transducers: Auditory, Visual, Tactile and Proprioceptive.
The Integrator Unit of Mysak's Model Represents the Process of Perception.
Perception has Two Factors: Innate--Genetic Inheritance and Learned--Past Experiences.
The Storage Unit of Mysak's Model Represents the Process of Memory.
The Governor of Mysak's Model Represents the Process of Consciousness--bringing to mind an idea to be communicated.
Language is a Process of going from an Unsymbolized Idea (Deep Structure) to a Symbolic Expression (Surface Structure).
The Mixer holds the secret of most motor behaviors including Speech.
The Mixer is a neural Juke Box which holds records of all the motor behaviors we have learned throughout life.
The Effector Unit of Mysak's Model Represents the Expressive Transducer for the Auditory Modality (Speech).
The Channels are the routes in the environment for the propagation of the sound waves generated through transduction.
A Speaker Hears him/her self through two Channels: Air and Bone.
The Air and Bone Channels are used to Diagnose Different types of Hearing Loss.
The four Sensor boxes are the Receptive Transducers again, used to detect stimuli produced by the Expressive Transducer.
The Comparator in Mysak's Model uses the Feedback from the Sensor Units to monitor the Expressive Transducer.
Feedback from the Sensors is Compared to the Expectancies in the Comparator.
The Comparator is involved in all Motor Acts including Speech.
