This RCDA is requested to enable the PI to extend current research agenda by focusing on language development across the life-span and to acquire advanced training in gerontology and quantitative methods to support this research agenda. Five objectives are: (i) Develop common methods to assess sources of language processing difficulties to be used in a life-span perspective focusing on language development from childhood to late adulthood. (ii) Extend this focus to diverse populations at risk for language impairments. (iii) Evaluate competing linguistic measures of syntactic complexity for predicting age-group and individual differences in language processing. (iv) Acquire advanced training in life-span development and clinical disorders of language. (v) Acquire advanced statistical and quantitative training.

要求该 RCDA 使 PI 能够扩展当前的研究议程 通过关注整个生命周期的语言发展并获得 老年学和定量方法的高级培训以支持这一点 研究议程。五个目标是： (i) 制定通用方法 评估语言处理困难的来源，以用于 生命周期视角关注从童年到语言发展 成年晚期。 (ii) 将这一重点扩大到面临感染风险的不同人群 语言障碍。 (iii) 评估竞争性语言措施 预测年龄组和个体差异的句法复杂性 在语言处理方面。 (iv) 获得终身高级培训 语言的发育和临床障碍。 (v) 获得先进的 统计和定量培训。
