Spatial hearing and language learning in toddlers who use cochlear implants

描述(由申请人提供)：该奖学金的目标是：1)熟练识别与儿童听力和语言技能发展相关的研究问题；2)学习与在人类进行行为和心理物理研究相关的各种技术，如实验设计、受试者招募和统计分析；以及3)建立一条独立的研究路线，用于启动我自己的实验室。此外，我计划参加国家科学会议，在那里我可以与其他研究听觉功能的专业人士互动。我的最终目标是成为一名学术研究人员，并参与临床听力学专家和未来研究人员的培训。上述技能的发展将使我能够在之前的临床和研究经验的基础上再接再厉。因此，我希望成为听觉功能领域的一名有效研究员，并建立自己的研究计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of this fellowship are: 1) to become proficient at identifying research questions related to the development of auditory and language skills in children; 2) to learn various techniques related to performing behavioral and psychophysical research in humans, such as experimental design, subject recruitment, and statistical analysis; and 3) to establish an independent line of research with which to start my own lab. Additionally, I plan to attend and participate in national scientific meetings, where I can interact with other professionals studying auditory function. My ultimate goal is to become an academic researcher, and participate in the training of clinical audiologists as well as future researchers. Development of the aforementioned skills will allow me to build upon my previous clinical and research experiences. As a result, I hope to become an effective researcher in the field of auditory function and establish my own research program.
