Dr. Bonino's laboratory, the Children’s Auditory Perception Laboratory (ChAPL), studies human auditory development using methods from the fields of psychoacoustics, speech perception, and pediatric audiology. The primary research effort in the laboratory is to examine changes in auditory development between 2 to 5 years of age on tasks that are believed to be highly related to speech and language abilities. Efforts are underway to use these methodology advancements to improve clinical assessment practices for young children that have developmental disabilities. A secondary research line is to understand why some children have more difficulty listening in noise than other children.
