DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Center for Perception and Communication in Children (CPCC), a COBRE at the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) in Omaha, Nebraska, is to expand the range of the current research program by providing a unique environment for the development of junior faculty who have an interest in understanding the consequences of childhood hearing loss for speech and language perception and processing, and ultimately describing performance of children with hearing loss in the real world. Our goal is to broaden the research program, building on its current emphasis on peripheral function in the auditory system to include state-of-the-art work on more complex issues such as the impact of hearing loss on performance in real-world environments including classrooms, the contributions of bottom-up and top down processing in children learning English as a second language, integration of visual and auditory information in speech and language acquisition, the adjustment of hearing-aid properties to promote development of temporal processing and the consequences for visual processing of vestibular deficits associated with hearing loss. Research on these topics will be facilitated by an Administration Core that will coordinate interaction with an External Advisory Committee and external mentors, a Technical Core that will provide support for hardware and software development, signal processing and room-acoustics issues and a Clinical Measurement Core that will collect clinical data, implement quality assurance procedures and assist with selection and interpretation of clinical measures. The CPCC will benefit from combined research experience of the senior faculty who will serve as core directors and mentors and from the unique patient resources and translational research environment at BTNRH. Future plans call for continued expansion of the research program to include work on speech/ language and cognitive function in children with normal hearing, taking advantage of neural imaging facilities currently under development.

描述（由申请人提供）：儿童感知与沟通中心（CPCC）的目标，在内布拉斯加州奥马哈的男孩镇国家研究医院（BTNRH）的毛绒中，是通过为儿童发展和语言的兴趣而开发的兴趣，以扩大当前研究计划的范围，以了解听力损失的效果，并塑造了兴趣的效果，并且是对言论的效果，并且是对言论的效果，并且是对言论的影响，并且是对言论的影响，并且是对言论的影响，并且是对言论的损失的效果。现实世界。我们的目标是扩大研究计划，基于其当前对听觉系统外围功能的强调，包括在更复杂的问题上进行最新的工作，例如听力损失对实际环境中的绩效的影响，包括教室，包括自下而上的教室的贡献，在儿童学习英语中学习和在语言中促进式和语言的范围，在儿童中学习的贡献，并在启动语言中促进式和听觉的范围，并将视觉和听觉促进 - 促进视觉和听觉的整合 - 用于视觉处理与听力损失相关的前庭缺陷。对这些主题的研究将由管理核心促进，该核心将与外部咨询委员会和外部导师进行协调，这是一种技术核心，该核心将为硬件和软件开发，信号处理和室内声学问题以及临床测量核心提供支持，该核心将收集临床数据，实施质量保证程序并帮助选择和解释临床测量。 CPCC将受益于高级教师的合并研究经验，该教师将担任核心主管和导师，以及BTNRH独特的患者资源和转化研究环境。未来的计划呼吁继续扩展研究计划，以包括正常听力的儿童的语音/语言和认知功能的工作，并利用目前正在开发的神经成像设施。
