DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding to continue a series of international and interdisciplinary research conferences on speech communication and aging. Scientists approaching this problem have typically been either working in the area of sensory and perceptual processing, especially hearing, or in the area of cognitive science. Speech communication involves both sensory-perceptual processes and cognitive processes. Aging can have a negative impact on either or both of these systems. By bringing together scholars actively involved in research in both of these areas, it is hoped that further progress will be made in understanding and remedying the speech-communication difficulties of older adults. The first three conferences, held in 2005, 2007, and 2009, were very successful and funding is being requested for five years to support three additional conferences to be held in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求资金，以继续一系列关于语音通信和老龄化的国际和跨学科研究会议。研究这个问题的科学家通常要么在感官和知觉处理领域工作，特别是听觉，要么在认知科学领域工作。语音交流涉及感官知觉过程和认知过程。老化会对这两个系统中的一个或两个产生负面影响。通过将积极参与这两个领域研究的学者聚集在一起，希望在理解和补救老年人的语言沟通困难方面取得进一步进展。2005年、2007年和2009年举行的前三次会议非常成功，目前正在申请五年的资金，以支持将于2011年、2013年和2015年举行的另外三次会议。
