For parents: Paid research study for children on noise and reading

The Children’s Auditory Perception Laboratory is currently recruiting children between 5-7 years old for a research study to help us learn more about how noise affects children’s ability to read. During the testing, your child will sit in a sound-treated room and will listen to sounds presented over headphones. While listening to these noises, your child will read brief reading passages aloud. At the end of the passage your child will be asked to retell the story and answer comprehension questions. Three visits to the laboratory are required. Each visit lasts about one hour. You will receive $10 per hour and we will pay for your parking, if you drive to the lab. If you are interested please email childhear@colorado.edu or call 303-735-6252. The principal investigator for this research study is Angela Yarnell Bonino of the Department Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. All testing will be completed in the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences building on the campus of the University of Colorado Boulder.
