Speech Perception and Production Laboratory
- The perception of infant directed speech in infants with hearing loss.
- The effects of noise on first and second language perception.
- The development of speech acquisition in infants with hearing loss.
The Speech Perception and Production Research Laboratory (SPPRL) is housed in the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology. One sound-treated room is located in the SPPRL. Equipment is available to synthesize and generate sound digitally. Responses to sounds can be measured behaviorally, acoustically, or physiologically using commercial data acquisition systems and software. The ARL contains an Apple G5 computer, IBM-compatible computers plus related hardware. Software is available to carry out all current forms of data analysis.
