EVOKED POTENTIALS AND SPEECH AND LANGUAGE INTERVENTION

描述：(根据申请人的描述改编)目的 这项研究是为了确定电生理测量大脑活动 语音预测对语言的反应并受语言的影响 干预旨在促进儿童的理解力和 语法。50名有严重语言障碍的特殊语言障碍儿童 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… 前处理阶段，儿童言语清晰度，口语语法， 以及对语音刺激的事件相关电位进行评估。干预中的孩子们 小组将在六个月内每周接受三次治疗。这个项目 在小额赠款机制的约束下是可行的，因为有 已经是正在进行的项目，正在进行干预和收集 提出了可理解性和语法的衡量标准。第二个站点是 提议增加样本量并促进专门知识的交流 在站点之间。将出现两波科目招聘，以允许高 干预措施的质量实施和监测。

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.
