My
research interests have included noise-induced deafness, auditory evoked
responses, and studies of the auditory abilities of normal-hearing and
of hearing-impaired listeners. Current work includes studies of the
ability to "hear out" the details of complex auditory patterns,
and individual differences in those abilities. I am also involved in
the development of computer-based training aids for use in teaching
children and adults to produce intelligible speech. These aids may be
used with hearing-impaired persons, articulation-disordered persons
with normal hearing, or those learning to correctly pronounce a second
language. I am helping to coordinate a cross-disciplinary study, the
Benton-IU Project, of the sensory, linguistic, and cognitive factors
associated with failure in the first three primary grades (in collaboration
with the IU School of Optometry).
