Description
Summary:The voluntary production of vocal tones involves at once the recognition of a series of sensory impressions and a highly developed reaction to these sensory impressions. Even so simple a process as that of maintaining or repeating the simplest tone calls for a constant control of the vocal organs and a constant exercise of some degree of active attention. The investigation of vocal production of tones is, accordingly, important for two reasons. In the first place such an investigation will throw light on the relation between the type of reaction and sensation involved in articulation, and in the second place a contribution can be made to the solution of the general problem of the nature of active attention.
