The Frequency Following Response: A Subcortical Marker of Speech Perception in Normal Hearing and Hearing Loss

Learning language from difficult listening situations: How children process poor-quality speech signals
Children learn language from hearing it around them, but much of the language they hear isn’t perfectly clear. Some children hear degraded speech signals through a cochlear implant; others may hear speech from speakers with unfamiliar accents. And nearly all children hear a great deal of their language input in the presence of background noise, including competing speech.

The Language and Literacy Research Center (LLRC) will hold our monthly meeting on Thursday, November 10th at 11:30am to 1:00pm in LLRC Meeting Room #1220 located in the Benjamin Building. During our meeting, we will have a special presentation by Dr. Colleen O'Neal. Dr. O'Neal's presentation will be about "Stress, grit, engagement, and literacy achievement among ethnic minority and White students." Attached is a flyer for additional information about Dr. O'Neal's upcoming presentation. 

11:30-12:00 LLRC Updates

On the algorithmic beauty of language

In this talk I discuss an analysis of linguistic categories, and their possible (standard) combinations, in terms of matrix mechanics. I concentrate on the initial conditions of the system only – technically called First Merge (1st M).
