Auditory and Phonological Processing During Natural Language Comprehension
Current measures fail to isolate the auditory and phonological processes that contribute to natural speech comprehension from other linguistic and domain-general abilities. I’ll be submitting an R01 (NICHD) proposal in October that aims to evaluate new event-related potential (ERP) measures specific to the auditory, selective attention, phonetic, and phonological processes involved in listening to natural speech for comprehension in children and adults. Feedback on ways to make this in-progress proposal stronger, as well as suggestions of other funding mechanisms to try for, will be much appreciated.
