This is the term used to denote what singers refer to as "head voice" in a speech mode. When in loft register, the entire length of the vocal fold is used rather than the anterior 2/3 as is noted in "chest voice" or modal register.
It is a disadvantage that speech therapists, voice researchers, and voice teachers are not all using the same terms. Thanks for asking.
