Students conduct research on speech perception and spoken language processing and on the acoustic properties of speech under the supervision of a faculty member, focusing on children and adults with typical speech and language skills and with language and reading impairments. Activities may include a literature review, learning laboratory techniques, collecting data, coding data, and statistical analysis. At the end of the semester, students complete a written report about a research project they worked on or give an oral presentation about the project at a lab meeting.
