Relation Between Compression Speed and Childrens Ability to Process Linguistic Information

Relation Between Compression Speed and Childrens Ability to Process Linguistic Information Relation Between Compression Speed and Children?s Ability to Process Linguistic Information This proposal describes a small-scale study examining the potential impact of compression speed (fast, slow, adaptive) on the linguistic processing of children with HL. The project will require 6 months of work and should satisfy your request to have a small project completed in 2012. Note that this approach was designed from the perceptive of a childs listening needs and the challenges of complex environments. Thus, all compression conditions will be evaluated with equal rigor. The proposed compression parameters are: 1) fast attack and release, 2) fast attack and slow release, and 3) adaptive release. Adaptive release would be represented by Oticons linear floating gain.
