About the project
A child learns new words by comparing the new «sequence of sounds» heard with the words in their vocabulary, deciding it is a new word, and registering the new sequence in their vocabulary, after multiple exposures. For children with hearing impairment, this process is compromized by the limited acoustic information received, what will culminate in the need for more effort to identify and learn new words.
This project conducts a comparison between the effort spent in auditory learning in school-aged children, with and without hearing impairment.
The project is conducted in Denmark and Norway.
Background
The duration of the project is three years, from autumn 2020 to autumn 2023.
The project is part of the European Innovative Training Network Comm4Child.
Financing
Comm4CHILD is a European project under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement n°860755 within the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
