The perception/production link in child language

听力损失的儿童会经历持续的语言困难，对教育和社会成果产生重大的连锁反应。该项目旨在揭示相关的感知和生产过程，这些过程是听力损失儿童面临的语言挑战的基础，重点关注在听力正常的幼儿中也发现的语音模式，并使用可以推广到临床实践的创新技术。该项目的成果将大大推进儿童语言发展理论，并有望为听力损失儿童提供更准确和更有针对性的干预措施，通过提高他们的听力和口语技能来提供社会效益。

Children with hearing loss experience continuing language difficulties, with major knock-on effects on educational and social outcomes. This project aims to uncover the connected perception and production processes that underpin these language challenges for children with hearing loss, focussing on a speech patterns also found in younger normal-hearing toddlers, and using innovative technologies that can generalize to the clinical practice. The project outcomes will significantly advance theories of child language development, and promise to inform more accurate and better-targeted intervention for children with hearing loss, providing social benefit by improving their listening and speaking skills.
