EVOKED POTENTIALS AND SPEECH AND LANGUAGE INTERVENTION

描述：（根据申请人的描述改编）本申请的目的 这项研究旨在确定脑活动的电生理测量是否 语音可以预测对语言的反应，并受语言的影响 干预旨在促进儿童的可理解性， 语法. 50名患有严重语言障碍的儿童， 深刻的语音清晰度问题将是参与者。 儿童 将被随机分配到对照组或干预组。 在 治疗前阶段，儿童的言语清晰度，口语语法， 和对言语刺激的ERP将被评估。 干预中的孩子们 小组将在六个月内每周接受三次会议。 这个项目 在小额赠款机制的限制下， 已经是一个正在进行的项目， 建议的可理解性和语法措施。 第二个网站是 建议增加样本规模，并促进专门知识的交流 在站点之间。将进行两波受试者招募， 干预措施的高质量执行和监测。

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the applicant's Description) The purpose of this study is to determine whether electrophysiological measures of brain activity to speech sounds predict response to and are affected by a language intervention directed at facilitating the children's intelligibility and grammar. Fifty children with specific language impairment who have severe to profound speech intelligibility problems will be the participants. Children will be randomly assigned to either a control or an intervention group. At the pretreatment period, children's speech intelligibility, spoken grammar, and ERP to speech stimuli will be assessed. The children in the intervention group will receive sessions three times a week for six months. This project is feasible within the constraints of small grant mechanism because there is already an on-going project that is conducting the intervention and collecting the proposed measures of intelligibility and grammar. A second site is proposed to increase the sample size and enable an exchange of expertise between sites. Two waves of subject recruitment will occur to allow high quality implementation and monitoring of intervention.
