PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Disordered communication can come about as a consequence of hearing loss, as a result of developmental disorders such as autism, dyslexia, or developmental language disorder (DLD), or as a function of acquired disorders such as aphasia or traumatic brain injury (TBI). In order to make progress in assessment and treatment of communication disorders, the next generation of communication scientists needs to not only understand the underlying neural bases of these disorders, but also how to bring research from the laboratory to the clinic. The current program, Training in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Communication, will recruit a total of ten predoctoral trainees and five postdoctoral trainees, each serving a two-year traineeship, and equip them with specific skills and competencies that are needed for progress in understanding these disorders. Trainees from Psychology and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences will receive targeted instruction in cognitive neuroscience, with a special emphasis on neuroimaging methods, and will learn to apply those skills in trainee- led, mentored research projects. Further, training will emphasize the application of basic research, and trainees will interact not only with scientists who are experts in communication disorders, but also community stakeholders, including those that experience conditions such as aphasia, dyslexia, and autism. Other value- added activities will include a professional development seminar, January-term “crash-courses” emphasizing specialized skills, and external workshops to support advanced methods training. Our mentor team, drawn from Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, and three different degree programs in Psychology (Clinical, Developmental, Perception-Action-Cognition), has substantial expertise in a variety of imaging methods (e.g. fMRI, fNIRS, TMS/tDCS, EEG/ERP) and has conducted impactful research on range of communication disorders (e.g. aphasia, hearing loss, dyslexia, developmental language disorder, autism). The team has a strong track record of impactful research on typical and atypical communication, and of mentoring productive scientist trainees at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels. This training program will produce a cohort of scholars who are poised to make significant progress in the study of communication. !

项目概要/摘要 沟通障碍可能是由于听力损失、发育障碍导致的 诸如自闭症、阅读障碍或发育性语言障碍 (DLD) 等疾病，或作为后天性语言障碍的功能 失语症或创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 等疾病，以便在评估和治疗方面取得进展。 治疗沟通障碍，下一代沟通科学家不仅需要 了解这些疾病的潜在神经基础，以及如何从实验室进行研究 目前的项目“沟通认知神经科学培训”将招募总共 1 名患者。 十名博士前培训生和五名博士后培训生，每人接受两年的培训，并为他们提供装备 具有了解这些疾病所需的特定技能和能力。 心理学和言语、语言和听力科学专业的学生将接受认知方面的有针对性的指导 神经科学，特别强调神经影像方法，并将学习在受训者中应用这些技能 此外，培训将强调基础研究的应用，以及 学员不仅将与沟通障碍专家​​的科学家互动，还将与社区互动 利益相关者，包括那些患有失语症、阅读障碍和自闭症等疾病的人。 增加的活动将包括专业发展研讨会，一月份学期的“速成课程”强调 专业技能和外部研讨会来支持先进方法培​​训。 来自言语、语言和听力科学，以及三个不同的心理学学位课程（临床、 发展、感知-行动-认知），在各种成像方法（例如，成像方法）方面拥有丰富的专业知识。 fMRI、fNIRS、TMS/tDCS、EEG/ERP），并在通信范围方面进行了有影响力的研究 疾病（例如失语症、听力损失、阅读障碍、发育性语言障碍、自闭症）。 对典型和非典型沟通有影响力的研究以及富有成效的指导的良好记录 该培训计划将培养一批博士前和博士后科学家培训生。 准备在传播学研究中取得重大进展的学者。 ！
