Meeting Description: 

This second workshop in the SPPL series (following SPPL 2017 organised in
London in April 2017) will again provide an opportunity for interactions
between researchers from areas of speech, hearing and language sciences
research that may be focused on different developmental stages, e.g. early
development and ageing. It will also discuss methodological issues, such as
how to overcome the difficulty of developing tests that are equally
appropriate for children, younger and older adults, and will consider ‘missing
gaps’ in the developmental trajectory, e.g. data for older teenagers and
middle-aged adults.

Although the focus of much research into speech development has been to
establish when ‘adult-like’ performance is reached (with young adult speakers
taken as a ‘norm’), it is increasingly clear that speech perception and
production abilities are undergoing constant change across the lifespan as a
result of physical changes, exposure to language variation, and cognitive
changes at various periods of our lives.  Few studies have examined changes in
speech production or perception measures across the lifespan using common
materials and experimental designs. Studies that span over an extended
age-range and longitudinal studies can further our understanding of the extent
and direction of these changes for key measures of speech communication and of
how these changes interact with cognitive, social or sensory factors. There is
also a need for studies that seek to approximate ecologically-valid
communication interactions. Such knowledge is essential to refine and extend
models of speech perception and production.
