Which of the following is a core concept of LSVT?

• A. Think Loud
• B. Loudness Reduction
• C. Slow, Soft Speech
• D. Breath Control Only

Answer: (A)

A cognitive cue to increase vocal loudness is what LSVT emphasizes. The main cue used is “Think Loud,” which prompts the speaker to actively produce a louder voice and to calibrate it to a target level through intensive, structured practice. This focus on loudness guides the therapy and daily speech, rather than aiming to speak slowly or softly; it isn’t just about breath work either. Options that aim to reduce loudness, slow speech, or rely on breath control alone don’t capture the core approach of LSVT. So, Think Loud is the best fit.
